Seychelles Scouts Soar with Solar: Praslin Troop Shines in December Holiday Programme

Embracing the warmth and radiance of the tropical sun, the Praslin Troop of the Seychelles Scouts Association illuminated the festive season with a vibrant holiday programme focused on eco-conscious energy. With the sun as their guide and sustainability in their DNA, they showed us how youthful energy and renewable resources can join forces for a brighter future.

Day 1: The Journey to a Sun-Powered World Begins

The Praslin Scouts started their solar-powered adventure with a Power Trip to the PUC power station. It wasn’t just a lesson in how electricity illuminates our lives; it was a first-hand glimpse into the essential role the sun plays in energy creation.

Solar Savvy emerged as the day’s theme, with scouts channeling their creativity into the “Scout Go Solar Activity”. The ingenuity was dazzling—solar fountains bubbled, racecars zoomed, and sunglasses gleamed, all thanks to the sun’s generous rays. No ordinary cookout, this was solar-derived dining at its most innovative.

As dusk settled, the scouts gathered for Storytelling under the Stars. There’s nothing quite like the bonding that happens around a campfire, where scouting stories and chants weave through the crackling flames, forging a connection as enduring as the traditions themselves.

Day 2: Eco-Education and Community Outreach

The scouts dived deep into discussions on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the pivotal role renewable energy plays in our collective eco-responsibility. The sun, our ever-present source of power, found its place at the heart of these vital conservation dialogues.

Sun Power Patrols then took the eco-message to the public. Posters and bookmarks became canvases for conveying the benefits of going solar. The Praslin Scouts didn’t just learn; they transformed into green ambassadors, inspiring others to make a switch to sustainable practices.

The Public Push saw these enthusiastic scouts mingling at the boat jetty, bookmarks in hand, advocating for solar energy. It was remarkable to witness how each interaction, each shared pair of solar sunglasses, contributed to the ripple effect of change.

The Fun Continues: Nature, Pride, and Sunshine

The holiday program didn’t just stop at education; it was brimming with a variety of activities to reconnect the scouts with nature and each other through a festive Fishing Frenzy, where they skillfully cast their lines into the blue abyss.

Flag Raising Fun followed, a spectacle of patriotic pride resounding with the scouts’ commitment to their country’s values—a reminder that scouting is as much about personal development as it is about fostering national spirit.

Finally, the programme closed with a splash in Poolside Paradise. Laughter and teamwork danced on the water’s surface under the beaming Praslin sun, the perfect ingredients for making lasting memories in the scouting fraternity.
