Kami anak-anak yang ada di desa ini
Berjanji untuk meneruskan cita-cita bangsa
Membangun negeri tempat ku dibesarkan
Oleh ayah bundaku tercinta
            Aku akan blajar menuntut ilmu yang tinggi
            Sbagai bekal kelak jika aku sudah dewasa
            Dengan segenap jiwa dan ragaku ini
            Pada desaku aku berjanji
                        Sawah ladang membentang rapi
                        Gunung berjajar memagari
                        Sungai nan jernih membasuhi bumi
                        Ku syukuri nikmat alam ini
                                    Kami anak-anak yang ada di desa ini
                                    Berjanji untuk meneruskan cita-cita bangsa
                                    Membangun negeri tempat ku dibesarkan
                                    Pada desaku aku berbakti

                                                                        Bersama bernyanyi bergembira

Di tengah-tengah hutan di bawah langit biru
Tenda terpancang ditiup sang bayu
Api menjilat-jilat terangi rimba raya
Membawa kelana dalam impian
            Dengarlah-dengarlah sayup-sayup
            Suara nan merdu memecah malam
            Jauhlah dari kampung turuti kata hati
            Guna bakti pada bunda pertiwi

                                                            Alam yang indah megah slalu sedia
                                                            Memberi ajarannya pandangan luas
                                                                        Mari kita sekolah di sana
                                                                        Agar dapat nuansa pandangan

VISI dan MISI PRAMUKA DUNIA

The Vision

The Vision for Scouting is:

As a global Movement, making a real contribution to creating a better world.

We see Scouting entering its second century as an influential, value-based educational Movement focussed on achieving its mission, involving young people working together to develop their full potential, supported by adults who are willing and able to carry out their educational role.

We see Scouting world-wide as attracting and retaining more and more young people (especially adolescents) of both genders and coming from broader segments of society.

We see Scouting as attractive to adults, women and men, in all cultures - a Movement through which they can make a significant contribution to society by working with young people.

We see Scouting as a dynamic, innovative Movement with adequate resources, simple structures and democratic decision making processes where organisation, management and communication are effective at all levels.

 The mission of Scouting 

The mission of Scouting is to contribute to the education of young people, through a value system based on the Scout Promise and Law, to help build a better world where people are self-fulfilled as individuals and play a constructive role in society. This is achieved by:

• involving them throughout their formative years in a non-formal educational process
• using a specific method that makes each individual the principal agent of his or her development as a self-reliant, supportive, responsible and committed person
• assisting them to establish a value system based upon spiritual, social and personal principles as expressed in the Promise and Law.

The purpose of the strategy is to implement the Mission. The adoption of the Mission in 1999 was a major milestone for world Scouting. The mission and the six challenges identified are essential to be addressed if our mission is to be achieved.

Six Challenges

Six challenges were identified at the Durban Conference and need to be adressed to achieve our mission are:

1. Relevance: meeting the needs and aspirations of young people.
2. Complementary nature: focussing on the distinctive contribution Scouting can make to the education of young people, particularly through the Scout Method.
3. Membership: reaching out to more young people.
4. Adults: attracting and retaining the adults we need.
5. Relationships and partnerships: working with others to better serve young people.
6. Unity: pursuing a common purpose at all levels.

The Three Strategic Areas

The six challenges provide three broad areas of work: 

Young People: encompassing the challenges on Relevance, Complementary nature and Membership in order to bring better Scouting to more young people, especially adolescents.

Adults: encompassing the challenge on Adults: attracting and retaining the adults we need, with an emphasis on the concept of volunteering.

Structures and Systems: encompassing the challenge on Relationships and partnerships - which recognises the need to work with others to serve young people - and the challenge on Unity: pursuing a common purpose at all levels. Work in this strategic area should lead to an increase in the overall effectiveness of the Movement.

Contoh Teks Exposition

EXPOSITION

Being too fat is commonly known as overweight or obesity. It is simply defined as too much body fat inside. Overweight potentially leads high risk of health problem.

Being too fat is recognized as a major factor for heart disease.
 Due to the overweight, the heart will work harder. It can lead to the heart attack. Furthermore, obesity potentially rises blood cholesterol and blood pressure. In addition, being too fat can change the amount of sugar in the blood. This will cause diabetes and other serious disease.


Beside all of that, being too fat is often avoided by many young women. They said that becoming too fat will bother their physical beauty appearance.

More serious studies are necessary to see the effect of obesity. However it is clear enough that overweight is not good enough for healthy life.

Why is Learning English Important?

Language is the mean of communication. Mostly groups of society have their own languages. Some of them appear the top global languages. Most people in the world hear about English, Arabic, and Mandarin. However English is the most global spoken language. Then if a man wants to catch a global goal, he has to master English.

Everyone recognize that English is an international language. English is used in writing and speaking by many people all over the world. It can be either as a first or second language. We even hear British, American, Australian, and even Singaporean English. Those various names of English are used as the first language in those countries. Furthermore, some countries have their own languages as a mother language but also use English mostly in daily communication.

Besides usage in daily interaction, English is also used as a key to open doors leading to scientific and technical knowledge. No wonder we find manual guides and instructions of many devices written in English. Even if we have a pack of instant noodle, we will see the cooking instruction also written in English. This transfer of science and technique will include many countries in economic, social and politics development.

Finally, the most easily seen in the importance of learning English is that most top requirement in filling job opportunities is the ability using English; active or passive. Job applicants who master English are more favorable than ones who do not.
The above facts prove that everybody needs to learn English if he likes to greet the global era.
