Brief account on how the activity will benefit participants:
Using of computers Guides are young and should learn how to be
up to date withthis centuries technology. This initiative is to
help them have practices and befamiliarized with the computers
software. This will help them in future Guides or
school projects.Bonding of Guides The game held in the Heritage
centre aims to help deepen thebond in their patrol and build up
teamwork and leadership skills. Although it is a shortand simple
game, participants will be able to help each other and
brainstormtogether. They will get to know each other better.
A Guide is self-disciplined in what she thinks, says and does.
As this will be heldin a tourist attraction place, Guides will be
able to practice self-disciplined in front of tourists and the
staff there to give a good impression of themselves.
