Dozens of Participants in Chocolate Uniforms Attended the Open Cere...

The opening of the joint training activities was carried out in the Hall room. This building is about 300 meters from the campsite. This is a mandatory agenda that must be carried out in every camp activity. The opening ceremony was conceptualized in a simple way while still maintaining the values contained in the scouting norms of education.

If the opening ceremony is usually held in the form of outdoor ceremonies, but this time we designed a more different concept. The opening ceremony was held in the room. Scout education always develops along with the progress and paradigms that are born in people's lives. So there is no concept that is so monotonous to have to race on one habit. We try to show everyone that scouting education is an education that can develop, progress and be flexible with the times.

The procedure for implementing this event still maintains the values and norms contained in scouting education itself. Some of the agenda that must be filled in the implementation of the opening ceremony is singing the national anthem, hyme scout song, reading the Pancasila, the constitution, as well as reading the Satya and Dasha Dharma. That is important enough to be filled at every scouting education event. This event was held formally.

In the implementation, all participants are required to wear official clothing. Scouting service offices in Indonesia are synonymous with brown. Do not forget they also use red and white neck ties. As has been published on the CNN website, the brown color is identical to the Boy Scouts. There are several reasons why the color brown is chosen.

The brown color was deliberately chosen so that Scout members did not forget the spirit and services of the heroes who had fought for the country. This was officially stated in Chapter I Article 5 Paragraph B in the Instructions for Organizing Clothes for Members of the Scout Movement.

It is said that chocolate is the color that dominates on the battlefield. The color was used by a series of freedom fighters against colonialists seizing independence.

The brown color is also believed to be a metaphor for land and water throughout the archipelago. Citing various sources, the light brown color on the shirt reflects the water flowing throughout the country. While the dark brown color on the skirt or pants depicts the color of the soil in Indonesia.

Third is the brown color of the coconut shoot as a symbol of Scouting created by one of its characters, Soenardjo Atmodipurwo.

Finally, Powell initiated the brown color to be a Scout member's uniform. The color is in harmony with nature to make chocolate a color that is not easily dirty.

The opening ceremony was also attended by the local government, the work council of scout organizations at the city level, student organizations, and other elements of society. The event was officially opened by Deputy Rector III as an authorized stakeholder in the field of organization and student affairs. In his greeting he said that the scouting movement had the biggest role in shaping character, shaping the personality of young people, so they had self-control and life skills in dealing with the current development of the times. So that with all the activities he does can make scout members more useful to the community.

The opening was marked by observing the participant's sign in the form of an membership ID card to the representatives of the joint training activities participants. Besides that, he also appreciated all parties who were involved in the implementation of this activity so that it could be carried out successfully and smoothly. From the organizing committee, remarks were also given by the chair of the committee and the scouting education management in our unit. In delivering it, our representatives expect the support of all parties to be able to carry out scouting education on an ongoing basis in order to create a cadre of people who are moral, of character, of achievement and of good character.
