SCOUTING MOVEMENT

When I was junior high school, there are some extracurricular afforded by my school and I decided to choose scout organization. In that time, I was on the eight grades. During two months joint in this organization, we were training as boy and girl scouts. We usually had our training at school in the afternoon. Each member who had passed the scout education for some month had a right to be a boy or girl scout. On that time, my group would do the affirmation ceremony in Balle for five days.

At nine o’clock we were assemble in the school. Every student had ordered to bring one tool. It’s probably use during the camping. Before leaving the school, the senior arranged to briefing for ten minutes. Then, we formed a line and went there by on foot because the location is not too far.

When arriving there, we made some tents as resting places. After finishing the tents we formed a line to opening ceremony. At night, we didn’t do anything, just talking and got along to sing a song in our tents with our seniors. We were happy. At down, at about half past five the situation was changed. The senior ordered to get up and do an activity such as taking a bath, having breakfast and so on. Then, we followed the ceremony to hear all the activities we would do. And afterwards, we trained our physical strength like running across the river with mine, swing and the others. We finish our activities in the afternoon.

The second day, we continued the training in groups to see our solidarity. The activities are like games. We enjoyed the games. It is more challenge than the first day. It wasted much energy and mind. In the evening, it was the time that made hearts beating rapidly. That is to envoy the night. The rules were each group consisted of three members and every group got secret information. We would act as porter. During the trip we passed some post which each post would ask about the information but we must save the information until the last post. That night is very strange but pleasant because we had got an affirmation as a boy and a girl scouts.

The last day we would back and didn’t forget to clean the camping area. We worked like a team work. After cleaning the area, we followed the closing ceremony and then we came back in the afternoon.

LACOLLA BATHING PLACE

Lacola is one of tourism place in Maros. Its location is far from Maros. We must pass through the stony road, river, forest and large rice field. Therefore, we have to prepare many things to face the problems along the way, but it doesn’t matter. Upon arriving at this place all our tired will be omitted when see the scene around the place and enjoy the air and the beautiful waterfall.

Because the location is far from the city, that at the mountainous region, the consequence is the road is not easy to pass. To go there we can use a car from Maros for about two hours until the first settlement namely Kajuara county. Then continue our way by on foot because the road is rough and stony. We should hike the mountain through forest. Afterwards we’ll find the second settlement where we can see a large rice field as far as our eyes can see. It makes our heart calm down, violent and fresh.

After passing the rice field area, we would cross the river. If it is rainy season, it can be dangerous because the current is strong and fast. If the condition is like that, we shall pass it harder. Entering the forest, we can hear the bird singing and sometimes we can see monkeys climbing the trees. Walking trough the forest we feel like a very small human being surrounding the big trees. Before arriving to the bath, less than fifty meters, we already can hear the sound of the waterfall of Lacolla. And it can add our spirit to reach the place sooner.

Leaving the forest we cross a narrow trail. Evenly the destination’s in front of our eyes. The large waterfall which catches on a big stone, and a beautiful scene surrounding the waterfall, and the cool water make us fresh. The sound of the waterfall can break the loneliness and forget our tired along the way.

Lacolla bathing place is a really beautiful place and formed naturally. It has a high waterfall, a large bathing pond, and many big stones around it. Before people knew this place, it is not a good destination of spending the holiday. But now, it becomes famous and many people come to visit this place.
