PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
National Service Training Program Act of 2001 (RA 9163) affirms the prime duty of the
government to serve and protect its citizens. In turn, it shall be the responsibility of all citizens
to defend the security of the State and in fulfillment thereof, the government may require each
citizen to render personal, military or civil service. It recognizes the youth's vital role in nationbuilding; the State shall promote civic consciousness among the youth and shall develop their
physical, moral, spiritual, intellectual and social well-being. It shall inculcate in the youth
patriotism, nationalism, and advance their involvement in public and civic affairs. In pursuit of
these goals, the youth, the most valuable resource of the nation, shall be motivated, trained,
organized and mobilized in military training, literacy, civic welfare and other similar endeavors
in the service of the nation.
One of the components of NSTP is the Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS) which
refers to programs or activities contributory to the general welfare and the betterment of life
for the members of the community or the enhancement of its facilities, especially those
devoted to improving health, education, environment, safety, recreation and morals of the
citizenry.
In compliance with the provisions of RA 9163 specifically section 10 and memoranda
issued by the CHED Chairman on April 2005, Boy Scouts of the Philippines is listed as one of the
accredited Non-Government Organization that could be tapped for the implementation of
CWTS, with this CWTS in Scouting is offered in Xavier University – Ateneo de Cagayan and is
modified to fit the Jesuit context of the university thus coming up with the Jesuit Scouting
Program.
Jesuit Scouting Program couples the methods, skills, and values of Scouting to Jesuit
Education framework through the Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm. Students (Rover Scouts) will
be exposed to issues regarding health, education, environment, safety, development, disaster
management, good citizenship and governance in Mindanao context. The program will provide
classroom and Area Work sessions and experiences that will deepen issues and instill Jesuit
Core Values through series of inputs and field activity; where these areas will serve as basis for
deepening, processing and reflection. The program focuses on developing the students’ (Rover
Scouts) awareness and resulting to action on issues where they will be exposed through
classroom inputs and sessions strengthened and deepened by fieldwork.
The program does not only focus on the input on skills and knowledge to scouts but also
require them to share these skills to younger scouts (KAB and Boy Scout) in partner
institutions/units through Area Work sessions where they are tasked to prepare instructional
materials and provide instruction and training using the material they have made to the
younger scouts. These Area Work sessions will not only help the partner institutions but will
also develop the scouts’ sense of service and awareness to present situations in the
community.
