The Scouts of Royal Institute Maharagama embarked on an exhilarating educational journey as they visited the National Museum and the Natural History Museum, seamlessly combining learning with adventure. This special trip offered the young Scouts a unique opportunity to delve into Sri Lanka’s rich history, cultural heritage, and natural wonders while fulfilling the requirements for their Scouting Merit Badges.
A total of 20 Senior and Junior Scouts participated in this enriching experience. During the visit, they explored various exhibits showcasing the history of Sri Lanka, as well as plants, insects, and animals native to the country. By gathering data from these exhibits, the Scouts compiled detailed reports, helping them successfully meet the requirements for their Scouting Award.
These hands-on experiences not only allowed the Scouts to complete their badge requirements but also fostered a deeper appreciation for the nation’s history and natural beauty. The blend of educational content and real-world learning enriched their understanding and left a lasting impression on their young minds.
This exciting outing reflects Royal Institute Maharagama’s unwavering commitment to providing its students with opportunities for experiential learning beyond the traditional classroom setting. By facilitating such enriching experiences, the school nurtures a love for learning that extends beyond textbooks, encouraging students to engage with their surroundings actively.
With enthusiasm and curiosity, the Scouts embraced the day’s activities, transforming learning into an adventure filled with discovery and fun. As they returned from their journey, the Scouts were not only filled with newfound knowledge but also inspired to share their experiences with others, embodying the spirit of exploration and inquiry that defines Royal Institute International School.
