President and I try to walk every morning. Usually we start out between 5:30 am and 6:00. The sun has just risen and the city awakes. One recent morning we walked down our street and in the empty lot next to a private school were a lot of boy and girl scouts. They were having a sort of jamboree and from what we could tell they were all students from the school.
They invited us to join in their morning exercises. We opted to just walk around their camp and take pictures.

Is that girls scout uniform cute or what!
Their leaders were up on a portable "stage" calling out the next moves as they exercised to loud music.
Their tents were made out of tarps and bamboo poles. The ground was bumpy and uneven, I'm not sure they were able to get a good night's sleep.
The older boys were fixing breakfast while the others were exercising.
They looked sharp in their uniforms, these two said they were too shy to be in the photo, but in the end they were good sports let me take the photo.
During their cool down period they did a lot of stretching exercises.
We have so many friends who are involved in scouting in the U.S. and thought they might enjoy seeing that scouting is alive and well here in the Philippines. In the U.S. our church is very active in scouting but here the church isn't affiliated with the scouts.
