⚜️ Adventure, Leadership, and Heritage: Scout Hiking Program 2026! ⚜️🥾
On 10th October 2026, 55 Class IX scouts alongside 12 Scout Masters from Khuruthang Middle Secondary School embarked on an enriching and memorable hiking journey! Covering the historic route from Thinleygang to Toep Chandana, Sewdrangsa, and back to the School Gate, the program aimed to build physical endurance, leadership, teamwork, cultural appreciation, and environmental responsibility among our young scouts.
🌟 Highlights of the Journey
🚌 Early Start & Historic Discovery: Gathering at the school gate by 6:00 AM, the scouts took a bus to Thinleygang. Before hitting the trail, they visited a sacred historic site associated with Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal, paying their respects and viewing precious relics such as Zhabdrung’s boots (Zhablam), Yangthro, and holy texts.
🌲 Hiking Ancient Trails: Walking in their respective patrols, the scouts traversed scenic landscapes and pine forests toward Toep Chandana Lhakhang, learning about its rich cultural significance before continuing toward Sewdrangsa. Engaging station-based activities along the way tested their problem-solving skills and team spirit.
🏆 Team Building & Competitions: At Sewdrangsa, the patrols recharged and competed in fun team-building challenges that fostered leadership, cooperation, and trust. Outstanding performances were recognized with well-deserved prizes!
🧹 Environmental Responsibility: Demonstrating true scouting values, the team conducted a thorough waste-cleaning drive along the return trail back to the school gate, leaving nature as pristine as they found it.
Although the journey was long and physically challenging, our scouts completed the hike with big smiles, high energy, and renewed confidence! A heartfelt thank you to our Scout Masters, the advance planning team, and our Class IX scouts for making this educational adventure a roaring success! 👏💚✨
