360 Scouts to Compete in LT-II 2026 in Sunggal

DELI SERDANG | INDATANEWS.COM - A total of 360 Penggalang-level Scouts from various Scout groups across Sunggal Sub-district, Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra Province, will take part in the 2026 LT-II Scout Competition organised by the Sunggal Sub-district Scout Council (Kwarran Sunggal).

The participants will demonstrate their knowledge, practical skills and teamwork across 17 competition events divided into three categories.

The organising committee has published the technical guidelines, which will serve as the official reference for all competitions. The events cover a range of Scouting skills, including tent pitching, drill and formation exercises, Scouting knowledge, first aid, creative performances and English language skills.

Beyond competition, the event aims to support youth development by strengthening discipline, independence, responsibility and a sense of community.

Selecting the Best Scout Groups and Building Character

The 2026 LT-II competition will also help identify the best Scout groups, which may qualify to compete at the next level. Participants will therefore be assessed not only on their practical abilities but also on their conduct and character.

The assessment criteria include attitude, courtesy, responsibility, team spirit, leadership and the application of the Scouting principles of Dasa Darma and Tri Satya in everyday life.

The competition places equal importance on achievements and character development. Mutual respect, discipline, teamwork and leadership are regarded as essential elements of successful Scouting education.

17 Competition Events Across Three Categories

The organising committee has divided the 17 events into Categories A, B and C, covering both individual abilities and teamwork.

Category A consists of five events: tent pitching, a Scout fitness challenge involving seven participants from each group, group character assessment, Scout group administration and equipment packing.

For the administration assessment, each group must prepare and present 13 administrative record books. Meanwhile, eight members from each group will take part in the equipment-packing competition. These activities assess organisation, discipline, preparedness and independence.

Category B has the largest number of events, with ten competitions. These include marching and formation drills (LKBB), involving seven participants; map reading and compass navigation, involving two participants; and secret codes, Morse code and semaphore, each performed by one participant.

The category also tests practical pioneering skills. Four participants must work together to construct a three-legged flagpole using ten wooden poles. Knowledge of knots and lashings, accuracy and coordination will be essential to completing the task.

In the first aid competition (P3K), five participants must demonstrate how to handle simulated injuries, including minor head injuries and broken legs. They must also show how to construct and use a stretcher. The assessment focuses on first aid knowledge, the correct application of procedures and teamwork in emergency situations.

Other Category B events include an estimation challenge involving two participants, a group cheer competition with eight participants and a maximum duration of four minutes, and a dance competition involving six participants, with a performance limit of seven minutes.

Category C offers participants an opportunity to demonstrate their language and artistic abilities through two events. The first is an English-language speech competition on the theme of Bela Negara (Defending the Nation). Each participant will have a maximum of five minutes to deliver their speech.

The second is a painting competition on the theme of Heroes. Participants must complete their artwork at the competition venue within 60 minutes. A4 paper and wax crayons are the required materials.

Participation Requirements and Judging Criteria

To ensure the event runs smoothly, all participants must wear their NPP identification numbers in a clearly visible position. Every group must also comply with the technical guidelines and specific requirements for each competition.

These include the required number of participants, performance time limits, equipment requirements and other technical provisions.

The organising committee has emphasised that the judges' decisions are final and cannot be challenged. All groups are therefore expected to prepare thoroughly, compete fairly and respect the results.

With 360 participants competing across 17 events, the 2026 LT-II competition is set to provide young Scouts in Sunggal with an opportunity to develop their practical skills, creativity and leadership abilities. The event will also strengthen discipline, independence and a spirit of cooperation among the next generation. (IDNC)
