a wasalna fis-sitt edizzjoni ta L-iScout Xagri. Fix-xhur li gaddew minn l-aar edizzjoni, intlaqu diversi miri ppjanati gal kontinwazzjoni u l-ivilupp tal-grupp.

Wara li uffijalment ejna mogtija l-post tal-gvern biex inkunu nistgu nuawh bala Headquarters, ie mwaqqaf kumitat apposta sabiex ikun jista jsir ippjanar u jittiedu deijonijiet strutturali skont il-bonn. Dan il-kumitat huwa magmul minn: Pawlu Azzopardi Chairman, Frances Galea Segretarja, Vince Vella, Carmel Attard, Fr. Jesmond Gauci, Doris Sultana, Joe Spiteri, Mark Formosa u jien bala membri. Il-H/Q dia qed jieu xgira differenti. Nixtieq nieu l-opportunita biex nirringrazzjahom tax-xogol siewi li qegdin jagmlu.

Sabiex insostnu x-xogol bonnju li metie jitwettaq l-H/Q, il-finanzi huma ferm importanti. Fil-fatt, il-kunsill tal-enituri tagna qieged jadem bla heda sabiex permezz ta attivitajiet diversi ndalu fondi finanzjarji. Dawn l-attivitajiet ma jinkludux biss attivitajiet bal ikliet, ida ukoll odd jobs li permezz taghom jibqgalna xi aa gall-grupp.

Grazzi gal-leaders, is-sezzjonijiet differenti fi dan il-grupp tagna dejjem jipparteipaw fattivitajiet varji, fosthom hikes, camps, joint activities, idma gall-badges u orajn. Nieu pjair nisma lit-tfal jirrakkuntaw lil enituri dwar l-avventuri u l-esperjenzi li kellhom ma sabhom fl-iscouts. Li tara t-tfal jikbru u

jitgallmu waqt li jiedu pjair hu ta sodisfazzjon kbir galina.

Importanti ninnutaw li x-xogol li qed isir mill-kunsill u l-kumitat, u l-impenn u d-dedikazzjoni minn naa tal-leaders hu gat-tfal u l-membri tal-grupp tagna. L-edukazzjoni olistika ta-ittadini futuri ta pajjina hija fqalb dawk kollha li bxi mod jagmlu parti mill-grupp tagna.

Nixtieq nirringrazzja lil Kunsill, Kumitat, Leaders, Sponsors, persuni li joffru post fejn nerfgu l-equipment li gandna u orajn li kontinwament iginuna biex inkomplu nimxu flimkien il quddiem.

Ma niddejjaqx ninsisti fuq l-importanza tas-sapport minn naa tal-enituri kemm fattivitajiet ta bir ta fondi, kif ukoll fattivitajiet skawtistii u xogol relatat mal-H/Q.

Tajjeb wieed jfakkar li sa mill-1933 l-Iscouts tax-Xagra kienu ferm attivi fil-ajja tar-raal tagna, u dan narawh mill-fatt li minn din l-Gaqda aru kemm il-football (illum Xagra United), kif ukoll il-Banda tar-Raal (illum Victory Band). Dawn i-ew Gaqdiet kibru u viluppaw tul is-snin u llum it-tnejn li huma gandhom il-Kaini taghom li tant jagmlilhom unur kemm gax-Xagra u anke gal Gawdex ukoll. Kien bix-xieraq li l-Gaqda li welldithom ikollha hi ukoll il-post entrali tagha bala Kwartieri minn fejn tista tiffunzjona ajar. Gal dan il-gan ix-Xagra Scout Group kellna nistennew dawn is-snin kollha biex il-olma tagna ssir realta. Dan gandu jimlina bil-kura u ea biex dak li btant sagrifiji u xogol erajna bdejna ames snin ilu nkomplu nibgu galih u nkabbruh alli l-Grupp tagna tal-Iscouts ikun wieed mill-aktar gruppi mhux biss popolari imma anke attivi fil-ajja kulturali tax-Xagra. Hawn, waqt li ninkoraixxi afna lil-Leaders tagna li qed jagmlu xogol tassew utli ma-gaag tagna, nixtieq nagmel appell biex aktar uvintur u xebbiet joffru l-gajnuna taghom bala Leaders odda mal-Gaqda tagna. Iktar ma jkun hemm Leaders iktar inkunu nistgu nilqgu fi dan ix-XSG tfal odda li kull ma jmur qed juru x-xewqa taghom li jingaqdu mal-grupp tagna, anke minn irula barra mix-Xagra. Irridu nirringrazzjaw mill-qalb lill-enituri tat-tfal fdati fidejna u lil-benefatturi, li dejjem insibuhom lesti jagtuna daqqa tid fejn ikun metie. gur li lkoll naqblu li issa gandna mmiddu gonqna gax-xogol fuq il-post il-did alli nkunu nistgu nannuh mill-aktar fis possibli. U balma rnexxielna nakkwistaw Kwartieri gall-Gaqda tagna, forsi gad jasal i-mien li l-Grupp tagna jkollu ukoll Banda gira li tkompli timla il-ajja ta-gaag tagna u tferra lix-Xagrin meta ngaddu nimmarjaw fit-toroq tagna.

Il-PACK

It-tema magula gal-kamp ta l-Gid kienet dik ta Harry Potter, fejn il-Cubs saru studenti taHogwarts. Din is-sena il-kamp ma sarx fgalqa bas-soltu, imma sar ewwa l-HQ tal-Victoria Scout Group. Galkemm kien ambjent differenti mis-soltu, il-Pack xorta wada kellu programm eitanti u mimli daqs bajda.

Fost lattivitajiet kellna hike mi-ebbu gal Wied l-Gasri u lura, u craft kreattiv afna. Il-Cubs flimkien mal-leaders sajru il-brownies li bla dubju kienu tajbin afna! Fit-tieni urnata tal-kamp, mal-Cubs ingaqdu l-Beavers u flimkien aru -ittadella. Wara li tgallimna dwar l-istorja ta din il-belt antika, kien wasal il-in gal Pack u l-Colony biex jinqasmu fi gruppi u jiedu sehem fi treasure hunt partikolari li gur mhux se tintesa malajr.

IT-TRUPPA

Id-deijoni ttiedet mil-Patrol Leader Council (PLC) hekk gal nofs Frar, fejn iddeidejna u tlabna permess biex din is-sena mmorru nikkampjaw bala Truppa biss id-Dwejra. Il-PLC iddeieda wkoll li dan il-kamp gandhom jipreparawh bis-sie il-Patrols, li kienu qegdin fil-mixja li jiksbu l-Cook Badge. Matul ix-xahar ta Marzu sar afna ppjanar fuq l-ikel ta dan il-kamp. Il-Patrols fasslu l-menu waidhom, ppjanaw il-kwantita, gamlu budget u xtraw l-ikel kollu li kien hemm bonn.

FSibt il-Gid erejniela gad-Dwejra, fejn armajna t-tined u l-equipment kollu li kellna bonn. Fl-gaxija, flimkien mat-Truppa tal-Victoria, morna nisimgu il-Velja ta Sibt l-Gid fis-Santwarju ta Pinu. L-gada tassew ielebrajna l-Gid, bikel grandju fkull in tal-urnata, biex kull Patrol jibor il-points tal-Cooking Competition. Lagbna wkoll Capture the Flag mal-wied kif wkoll temmejna l-lejl bcampfire mill-isba mal-awa tagna l-iscouts tal-Victoria.

L-gada, ma sbie il-jum, kuladd qam lest gal-Mission Impossible ta din is-sena bit-tema ta 4 Pictures 1 Word! Berba ritratti, il-patrols riedu jaqgtu kelma, jaqbdu l-bus tal-Arriva u jaslu fil-post fejn kellhom jagmlu diversi tasks jew riddles. Din is-sena l-missjoni daret diversi postijiet fosthom l-Gasri, is-Salvatur, ix-Xewkija u r-Rabat.

Ma din il-ara nindunaw kemm vera -mien ma jistenna lil add. Gaddew sitt xhur ora, u dan ifisser li erbga mill-membri waslilhom i-mien sabiex jitelgu mal-Cubs filwaqt li l-Beaver Colony ser tera tifta il-bibien tagha u tagti l-opportunit lil tfal odda sabiex jiffurmaw parti minn din il-familja kbira. Permezz ta` dawn, il-grupp tagna ser ikompli jikber u jissaa. F`dawn ix-xhur rajna wkoll l-investitatura tal-leader Daniela Buttigieg (Sunshine) u kif ukoll tal-Beaver Scout Abigail Pace, li t-tnejn li huma kienu ferm erqana sabiex uffijalment jidlu fil-moviment dinji tal-iScouts.

Il-laqgat mimlija gost u taglim ma naqsux. Sabiex iibu l-Friendship Challenge Badge, gamilna diversi crafts fejn l-iskop ewlieni kien li l-Beavers iginu lil xulxin u kif ukoll jippreparaw dak ir-rigal spejali li setgu jagtu lil abib tal-qalb taghom. Permezz tal-istejjer u t-tpinija tgallimna wkoll kemm Alla huwa mportanti f`ajjitna. B`hekk il-Beavers imxew mal-istess wegda li gamlu dakinhar tal-investitatura taghom li tgid Inwieged li nagmel ilti biex inobb lil Alla, ngin lil addieor u ngix il-motto tal-Beavers. Lanqas ma naqsu l-mixja fil-kampanja, treasure hunt fi-ittadella u kif ukoll logob dejn il-baar. Dawn

it-tip ta` laqgat iedu fl-entujamu tat-tfal. Sabiex naglqu dan it-term, spiajna l-aar laqga gal dan is-Sajf b`differenza. Diversi logob bl-ilma ew ippreparati, u wieed jista jaseb il-briju li gamlu t-tfal fil-Headquarters innifsu. Kuladd spia mxarrab gasra u nalli lilkom tasbu l-Beavers lil min xarrbu l-aktar; jekk hux lil sabhom jew inkella lil leaders taghom. Ngiduha kif inhi, dawn tal-aar xejn ma ddejqu!

Huwa vera li -mien ser jibqa gaddej u jib miegu diversi tibdiliet, ida ana fil-Beaver Colony ser inkomplu nadmu u nommu l-istess prinipju dak li nagmlu bieb.

Pjan gall-HQPaul Azzopardi, Chairperson tal-Kumitat tal-HQ Wada mill-akbar olmiet tal-grupp ta l-iscouts tagna wara li rea twaqqaf kienet li jakkwista post biex dan ikun jista jservi ta Headquaters. Laqgat fuq laqgat, iri minn dipartiment gall-ieor, din il-olma fl-aar saret rejalta. Wara rioluzzjoni fil-parlament Malti l-gvern gadda lill-grupp tagna post fit-Triq Ta amet bkirja ta mitejn Euro fis-sena.

Il-post li ie akkwistat jinsab fis-stat dilapitat afna u galhekk iridu jsiru afna xoglijiet fih biex ikun jista iservi ta Headquaters. ie mwaqqaf kumitat magmul minn diversi persuni, eneturi u leaders biex jiedu sieb dan ix-xogol. iet magulha l-perit Ivana Farrugia biex tginna fdan il-proett ta fejda gat-tfal tagna.

Wara diversi laqgat ie dei li x-xoglijiet jinqasmu fames faijiet.

L-ewwel fai li dia saret kienet li jiddalu il-meters tad-dawl u ta l-ilma u ssir tindifa enerali tal-post, li kien mimli bkull tip ta imbarazz.

It-tieni fai hija li jissewwew il-bjut tal-bini eistenti, tikil minn barra u minn ewwa u tpoija ta madum dawl u ilma. Din il-fai mistennija li tibda minn hawn u ftit tal-imgat ora.

It-tielet fai hija l-kisi ta dak li a jkun ground bil-konkos biex l-iscouts ikollhom fejn jilagbu; u bdil tal-itan tal-appo minn ebel tas-sejjie gal itan tal-konkos.

Ir-raba fai hija l-bini mill-did ta maqjel li jinsab fuq in-naa ta wara u dan ikun jista jservi ta stores billi fil-preent l-oetti li jappartjenu lill-grupp tagna jinsabu imqassmin gand diversi persuni.

Il-ames parti hija l-bini ta toilets, showers, kmamar u sala fejn ikunu jistgu jsiru il-laqgat.

Dan huwa proett ambizzju afna, imma bil-gajnuna tAlla naslu biex intemmuh u bhekk inallu r-raal tagna ajar milli sibnie.

Biex igin fit-twettieq ta dan il-proett, il-kunsill tal-grupp magmul minn numru ta eneturi dejjem jitabat biex jibor fondi. Napella biex nattendu gall-attivitajiet taghom biex nginuhom jibru aktar fondi. L-iskop ewlieni fdan il-proett gandu jkun dak li nagtu lit-tfal u -gaag tagna, post ta rekreazzjoni fejn ikunu jistgu jivillupaw it-talenti taghom u ikunu leaders futuri tar-raal tagna u ittadini eemplari.




Is-sena 2008 kienet bla dubju mportanti afna fl-istorja/vilupp tal-Iscouts fix-Xagra. Mhux biss rajna t-twelid mill-did tax-XSG imma assistejna gal vilupp important fl-istruttura w attivitajiet tal-istess Group. Sa minn sena u nofs qabel kienet dia nibtet l-ideja li jera jitwaqqaf ix-XSG. Kienu s-sinjuri Vince Vella, Fr. Jesmond Gauci u Carmel Attard li flimkien bdew jitkellmu bejniethom u jippjanaw biex fil-in opportun jergu jifthu l-Iscouts fix-Xagra, wara assenza ta diversi snin.

Mill-ewwel sar kuntatt mas-sur Joseph G.

Din il-laqga nammet fil-bini ta-irklu ta-gaag u galiha attendew ukoll is-sinjuri Carmel Attard, Vince Vella u Joseph G. Grech. Wara diskuzzjoni fit-tul ingata l-parir li nibdew kuntatti regolari mal-Victoria Scout Group, liema ideja ntlaqget tajjeb afna mill-GSL ta Victoria, is-sur Lorrie Saliba. Is-sinjuri Carmel Attard u Vince Vella tkellmu mas-Sur Lorrie Saliba fl-ufficcju tiegu u tfasslet skema ta jajjar darbtejn fimga li kellhom ikunu ta osservazjoni waqt il-laqgat li kienu jsiru.

Flimkien ma xi uhud mill-leaders prospettivi, partikularment i-gaug Josmar Azzopardi, bdew isiru laqgat mal-Victoria Scout Group, ewwa l-Headquarters taghom alli wieed jifforma bai soda qabel ma l-Grupp jii llanjat fix- Xagra uffijalment. Dwar il-post fejn kellhom jibdew isiru l-laqgat tax-XSG sar qbil ma Mons. Aripriet Carmelo Refalo u ma Mons. Anton Refalo biex jibdew isiru fi-entru ta-gaag. Fix-xahar ta Jannar, bil-permess entili tas-surmast tal-iskola Primarja tax-Xagra s-sur Joe Rapa, saru diversi laqgat gat-tfal tal-primarja fl-iskola stess biex jitajru jinkitbu bala Cub Scouts. Ir-rispons kien inkoraanti afna u wara laqgat mal-enituri tat-tfal li nkitbu, ie dei li jibdew isiru l-laqgat formali.

The newly reactivated Xagra Scout Group in Gozo has chosen a light blue scarf with a little yellow border. The previous one used was sky blue but since this colour is already in use in our association the new scarf was adopted. The Group is doing well and it will be officially launched in mid-May of this year. There are already around 16 cub Scouts and eight registered leaders. The Group Scout Leader is Mr. Vincent Vella a former GSL of Zejtun and also of the old Xagra Scout Group.

The Group is being helped by the Victoria Scout Group under the direction of Group scout leader Mr. Lorrie Saliba and to date the new members have already experienced what scouting is about. The senior members, Mr. Vincent Vella, Mr.Carmel Attard, Fr. Jesmond Gauci and a young scouter ( Josmar Azzopardi ) were also present at
