Chapter 172 Boy Scout Badge

"Next, let's pass the microphone to classmate Jerry."

The bright spotlight sweeping overhead interrupts Gu Weijing's fleeting meditations on the artwork.

The infrastructure of private schools is quite good.

In order to rehearse the "Shakespeare" drama in English grammar class and the song and dance program of the social dance party, a special group of spotlights that can be rotated is set up above the auditorium in the school.

I don't know when
The spotlight above the auditorium was turned on, and the beam of light passed through the crowd of the senior group, and finally just stopped on the head of the boy who stood up in front of Gu Weijing.

The lights in other parts of the auditorium were extinguished, and it was dark, leaving only the only figure standing in the light.

The main point guard of the basketball school team was bathed in the focus of eyes of the students with a proud expression at this time. His curly hair dyed golden was shining brightly under the spotlight as if it had been smeared with glitter powder.

"Thank you, thank you for your encouragement. I just want to offer a little love to the stray pets on the street."

While Jerry said that he just wanted to do good deeds and that winning the award was just a trivial matter, he bowed to the students who applauded him from all directions.

It looked quite Oscars style.

The screams of the girls and the whistles of the boys continued from the auditorium.

"Please don't be humble. In the past ten years of my teaching, few students in our school have received such high-level media reports. This not only reflects the school motto of Dulwich College [Innovation, Freedom, Fraternity], but also the noble Dulwich people. The embodiment of the spiritual outlook..."

The standard of this commendation meeting is exceptionally high.

The old Canadian principals sent by the education group from North America to Myanmar, which has always pursued the concept of student governance, appeared on the stage rarely at this time, and wanted to say a few words in this kind of event.

The old principal took the microphone from the chairwoman of the Girls' Student Union, and walked quickly to Jerry along the aisle between the stepped seats.

While patting Jerry on the shoulder, the old gentleman held a microphone with a smile on his face, and preached Dulwich College's philosophy of teaching and running a school.

The reporter from the campus news agency squatted in front of the seats in the auditorium, holding up the Nikon SLR camera, and the flash light kept flashing.

The old principal seemed to deliberately create a dramatic stage effect.

His tone suddenly paused for a few seconds, and then he took out a small box from his pocket and showed it to everyone.

"...Here I want to announce a decision. Regarding the pet euthanasia project established by Jerry, the Dulwich Group headquarters gave high praise, and after contacting the Boy Scouts Association in London, in order to commend Jerry Lorenz For his good deeds, he was specially awarded a first-level love badge as a sign of encouragement."

A tin pin medallion with the head of a Golden Retriever dog in the box shines metallic in the spotlight.

coax--

"what is that?"

"Boy Scout Medal of Love."

"What level, did I hear correctly? Level one?"

"It's the first grade, the highest honor of the Boy Scouts. It's the same style as Beckham, Mandela, Neil Armstrong and the Royal Duke of Cambridge. Boss, this is awesome."

The badge looks like a child's toy, but all the students showed expressions of admiration and admiration.

The reporter from the school's news agency squatting in front of the camera's shutter was about to smoke.

Scout is the world's largest and most influential youth activity organization. Its members cover about 4 million teenagers of different ages from 25 to [-] years old and from different countries around the world.

Its content covers all aspects such as field physical training, daily social welfare, and participation in popular science lectures.

This way of social activities was invented by Professor Robert of Oxford University at the end of the [-]th century. He was also awarded the title of Jazz by the King of England because of his outstanding contribution to children's education.

Scouting programs have always been part of a Western-style campus culture of social activity.

Even the reputation of the Boy Scouts has been greatly compromised in recent years by frequent child sexual abuse scandals.

Even the Boy Scouts of America went bankrupt over the sex scandal, but it remains the largest youth activism organization in the world.

During Dongxia's student holidays, you generally need to register as a community volunteer or something.

Foreign students often participate in Boy Scout activities from an early age.

Myanmar actually has its own Boy Scouts official organization,

But all Dulwich students will register to become members of the more "authentic" British Boy Scouts and organize related social activities every academic year.

This is also an important publicity item on the homepage of the international school campus.

The dog badge awarded to Jerry in the old principal's hand, despite its naive appearance, is one of the highest honors a student with a Western-style education can receive in middle school.

It's like a soldier's badge of honor.

"I heard that there is a senior at the Dulwich College Cairo campus who won the first-class Boy Scout Medal a few years ago. When he applied for the university, Yale gave him a full scholarship."

"Cut, what is this? I read the news in the "Sunday Weekly" that there is an old man in Portugal who, relying on the prestige of the high-level Boy Scout badge, sleeps through a quarter of a summer camp during the summer vacation of students. The girls who want to date him."

"...Awesome."

Even the classmates who didn't think much of Jerry in the past, in front of this first-class medal of honor, obediently kept their mouths shut.

The Scouting system is heavily honorable, with hundreds of different badges awarded to outstanding teens, with varying levels of difficulty.

easier,

For example, if you go camping independently for a day, you can get a "Basic Campfire Badge", visit five museums, and write a 500-word scientific essay. Crossing the road can get a "Basic Love Badge" and so on.

There are also some badges with very high gold content.

The British Scout badges are divided into four grades: basic level, third level, second level, and first level.

Both the basic and third-level badges belong to the type that can be easily obtained as long as you volunteer long enough and often participate in corresponding activities.

It is very difficult to get the second level.
Level [-] badges are even rarer.

For example, the dog badge in the hands of the Canadian principal is such a first-class badge with extremely high gold content.

It requires [animal protection behavior with special influence] to obtain it.

"Among Dulwich College's nine campuses around the world, since its establishment in 1957, only 61 students have won the first-class badge of honor for the Boy Scouts, and the average is less than one a year. This is especially true for the establishment of the Myanmar campus. This is the first time since. I heard that you were also selected into the improvement class by Mrs. Sakai?"

Jerry nodded contentedly.

"What a fine young man."

The principal looked at Jerry cheerfully, with kind eyes as if he was looking at a special bonus for his teaching performance this year from the walking board of directors.

"It seems that this year, apart from Ms. Sakai, we will have another student who is expected to enter the top ten world famous schools. Dulwich is proud of such an outstanding young student like you, Mr. Jerry."

It's not that the principal is ignorant, making a fuss over a small badge.

Rather, in the eyes of the admissions offices of Western universities, whoever can get a high-level Boy Scout badge means that he has "outstanding creativity", "bright mind" and "leadership-like potential", which is a quality Synonymous with academic excellence.

It is more eye-catching than a student's resume with a high school GPA of 3.8 and excellent grades in all subjects.

It is probably similar to the concept of "top ten outstanding teenagers at the city level", "three good students in prefecture-level cities" or "advanced individuals who are brave enough to do justice".

Many famous British and American politicians, prime ministers and cabinet ministers have all been recipients of the first-class badge of the Boy Scouts.

Up to now, on the wiki homepages of these big figures, such badges are still displayed as important honors in their student days, no less important than graduation certificates from prestigious schools.

"A first-class love badge, really outstanding."

The principal carefully pinned the dog badge on the chest of Jerry's school uniform: "If I had such a badge when I was a child, I think I would wear it 24 hours a day and never take it off when I sleep."

Probably this kind of animal euthanasia project, especially scratched the itch of the Boy Scouts badge review department. Even the principal didn't expect that he could really apply for a "first-class love badge" from the UK.

There are many students in Dulwich College who have won awards in the society, but there has never been such a prestigious honor.

It seems that his performance has exploded this year.

It can only be considered his luck that such a talented person like Miss Sakai transferred to another school.

But Jerry's kind is really cultivated by this school. If he can really apply to the top ten prestigious schools in the world in the QS art category, it will be quite a matter of reputation in the school board.

The old principal handed the microphone to Jerry, and said with a smile: "Shall you share a few words about your creation and award-winning experience with the students?"

"I have always been a person who treats animals very well. When I heard the teacher recite William Wordsworth's famous poem "The Lost Love" in English grammar class at school one day, my heart suddenly felt a little bit worse. I was touched, I wanted to do something for the animals, my father also expressed support for my plan, just had such an opportunity some time ago..."

Jerry had clearly practiced his speech well.

He talked in one set of ways, eloquently, and when he talked about those abandoned cats and dogs, he would wave his fist from time to time to express his indignation.

Very charismatic.

Gu Weijing also had to admit,
Jerry looked quite attractive at this moment.

He is handsome, good at sports, and his family is rich and caring.Such a boy is not a man of the hour in school, who is?

"Finally, I would like to make a special note that during the process of filming the microfilm, I would also like to thank one of our classmates for his help."

At the end of Jerry's speech, his tone suddenly became deep.

He clapped his palms and raised his arms: "That's our Miss Mona Sanderu. Miss Sanderu is the field manager and post-production staff of this micro-movie "THE LOST LOVE". Thank you very much Miss Sanderu For your dedication and company during filming. Please let us give this respectable and lovely girl a round of applause."

The news silenced the audience for a moment.

then,

It was applause like a mountain roar and a tsunami.

The noise of the people seemed to knock down the roof of the auditorium in the school.

"It's too romantic."

"The two of them are really together, I knew it."

"The two made a micro-movie together before graduation... and won an award at a film festival, like a scene in a campus romance movie."

"Wow, if anyone treats me like this, my mother will give him a monkey."

"No, I'm too sour. Will such a golden boy and jade girl give someone else a way to live?"

The discussion among the students became louder and louder. I don't know if it was arranged by the boys of Jerry's basketball school team, or it was just a matter of course.

First, a classmate shouted: "Kiss one!"

Then the atmosphere became more and more intense, and the audience began to boo.

Even the children in the lower grade group slapped their hands vigorously and yelled together in such a cheerful atmosphere.

"Kiss one!"

"Kiss one!"

"Kiss one!"

The headmaster was taken aback for a moment, then hesitantly did not stop the noise in the auditorium.

To be a villain at such a moment, the old headmaster felt that it would be a bit too unpleasant for him to do so.

He just smiled helplessly, feeling the restless love of adolescent boys and girls, and let the students mess around with his arms folded.

The lighting engineer behind the stage in the school auditorium is also a master who does not take too much trouble watching the excitement.He also specially separated a beam of spotlights to shine on the female students on the host stage.

Mona was still standing on the side of the projection cloth on the stage, holding the cue card that she just presided over the commendation meeting, with a cold face and delicate features.

Jerry walked towards the front of the stage.

Under the spotlight, the dark-haired handsome girl and the blond-haired cool guy slowly approached. This scene is like the love between the prince and princess in "The Grimm's Fairy Tales".

don't come to kiss one,
The audience felt unreasonable.

Mona under the light was a little surprised.

She never expected that Jerry would say such a thing.

Jerry did invite her to participate in the filming of the pet protection micro-film "Lost Love" when she was just starting school, and acted as the heroine in it.

However, Mona herself rejected this opportunity, and she did not go to the on-site assistant and post-production personnel during the filming of the micro-movie.

Hearing Jerry's remarks at first glance.

Mona frowned, feeling a little overwhelmed. Seeing Jerry stepping onto the stage, she subconsciously took a step back.

"No other meaning, I didn't inform you in advance, just because I wanted to give you a surprise."

Noticing Mona's physical resistance, Jerry shook his head slightly to remind himself not to act too hastily, then stopped with a smile and stopped a few meters in front of Mona.

He lowered his voice and said softly: "Anyway, it's a project organized by my father. There is still a vacancy in the late stage of field affairs. If you don't report it for free, I will fill in your name. It is a gentleman's little gift."

"That way, when you're applying to college, you'll have a great résumé in terms of social activities."

Jerry pointed to the screen on one side. At this time, the video stopped on the last frame of the micro-movie, which was the scene of thanking the film staff.

Mona didn't look carefully just now, but at this moment, she found that her name was indeed filled in the column of [Stage Affairs, Post-production].

"Miss Sanderou, you don't blame my kindness, do you?"

Jerry said with a smile.
