Scout Bianca Lorraine W. Sing of Chiang Kai Shek College’s Troop 349 was awarded as one of the Chief Girl Scouts of the Philippines held at the SMX Convention Center, Pasay City, last February 5, 2011.

The Chief Girl Scout Medal is the highest national award given by The Girl Scouts of the Philippines that recognizes Senior and Cadet Girl Scouts who have met the criteria for outstanding service to their community. It is built on the concept of developing a well-rounded girl scout in all aspects - spiritually, physically, mentally, and socially. Its main emphasis is on the girl’s discipline, perseverance, and sense of responsibility towards herself and the community.

Sing’s year- long project entitled “Kabataan- Tunay na Pag- asa ng Bayan: Tulay Tungo sa Pag- unlad ng Kulturang Pilipino” focused on the cultural heritage of the Philippines. It promotes appreciation of Filipino culture and traditions through researches and sharing of Philippine folk dances, songs, stories, and poems; and preservation of historical markers.

Four hundred fifteen Girl Scouts from different in the Philippines were awarded by the National Office of the Girl Scouts of the Philippines this year: 40 were from the Eastern Mindanao Region, 9 from Western Mindanao Region, 62 from Visayas Region, 123 from Southern Luzon Region, 100 from Northern Luzon Region, and 81 from the Central Luzon Region. Sing is the sole representative from the Manila Council.

The ceremony included the investiture of Ms. Kris Aquino as the representative of Philippine President Benigno S. Aquino III.
To this date, Sing is the fifth Chief Girl Scout in a line of 4 others Scout Dyane Blythe T. Uy (August 2004), Scout Ervina Suzette C. Tan (July 2007), Maria Catrina A. Kho and Regine C. Li (January 2010) from CKSC.
