MAASIN CITY, Southern Leyte, Feb. 28 (PIA) -- At least 22 out-of-school youths (OSYs) were recruited to the Neighborhood Scouting program of the Boy Scout of the Philippines (BSP) based in Southern Leyte. | |||
According to Maasin City Mayor Maloney Samaco these 22 OSYs from Barangay Asuncion in Maasin City were also known as “bakal boys” because they steal iron and steel and sell these at the junk shops in the locality for their livelihood. | |||
Samaco said, however, only 16 of the OSYs passed the scouting trainings and joined provincial and national jamborees. These OSYs have already stopped their former ways and instead planted vegetable at the backyard of the BSP provincial office and earned money as well. | |||
They were were enrolled in the Alternative Learning System of the Department of Education wherein they graduated last December 2011, he said. | |||
“We are still hoping that some of these boys will get the Eagle Rank and become the first out-of-school youth in the whole Philippines to be advanced as Eagle Scouts.” Samaco added. (ESG-PIA SoLeyte) | |||
