Did you know: Filipino boy scouts died 50 years ago in a plane crash
Almost 50 years ago today (Friday), a group of Filipino boy scouts died in a plane crash on their way to represent the country in an international jamboree in Greece. On July 28, 1963, the entire team perished with passengers and crew members of United Arab Airlines Flight 869 when the plane crashed into the Arabian Sea near Santa Cruz, India. The “Scout” streets on Tomas Morato and Timog Avenues were named in their honor while the Boy Scouts Rotunda in Quezon City was erected in their memory. Schatzi Quodala, Inquirer Research
