On its 59th year anniversary on Oct. 16, 2007 , the Girl Scouts of the Philippines Bohol Council launched its yearlong celebration for a Diamond Jubilee Anniversary.
As a kickoff activity, the council president with the executive committee members of the council board, planted 60 Molave trees along the highway of barangay San Isidro going to Corella, Bohol. The ceremonial tree planting was in coordination with barangay chair Artemio Case Caseñas, Jr. and barangay kagawad Ester Budlong.
In the afternoon, a holy mass was officiated by GSP Chaplain Mons. Margarito Gonzaga at the GSP headquarters, then followed by the council board meeting. A dinner and socials highlighted the day long celebration.
It maybe recalled that GSP Bohol Council was established on Oct. 16, 1948, eight years after the Girl Scouts of the Philippines was chartered under Commonwealth Act 542 during the administration of President Manuel L. Quezon; with the late Romana Oppus Manalo as its chartered President and the late Sebastiana Adeser as its first Volunteer Executive.
At present, with the solid leadership of the Council President Madam Maria Pureza Veloso Chatto, GSP Bohol Council serves 51 District Committee; 5,499 registered Volunteer Leaders and 44,473 Girl Scouts all over Bohol. With the Girl Scouts Program, our girls and young women will have countless development opportuni-ties with its vision, mission and action. (P. Montañez)
