They took on rope-course challenges, orienteering missions, and even made their own steamed rice pudding (Put Chai Ko) from scratch, all while making new friends through teamwork and laughter. With National Security elements woven into each activity, everyone picked up key knowledge across different aspects of National Security. The event successfully combined fun and education, making it a truly rewarding and unforgettable learning journey.
