Dunman Dove Scout Unit

day 1 of the trip

Hit the airport and met up with the Bangsar scouts who brought us to the Kota something rainforest to trek.
Unfortunately we were quite high and dry as we didn't had the time to fill up our water bottles with potable water.
So it was a tough and sweaty trek through the rainforest trail and the weather was unexpectedly warm too.
The Scouts were great! It was a 30 minute trek and its something like an off-beaten track at Bt Timah or something.
Also there were mosquitoes that awaited us at the end of the trek when we stopped to take group photos.
The girls who were wearing kuloids suffered at the mercy of the blood-starved mosquitoes.
Thankfully my tiny bottle of mosquito repellent came in handy.

I was was also soaked through with my own sweat and I think I'm going to smell... ugh.. hope they have washing machine, dryers
and irons at the YMCA. Haha...

We then had lunch at macdonalds nearby before setting off to Zonice, their Scout Shop. Hope we can get a couple of
interesting steals there.

Post lunch...
At the Zonice, we had saw their 'corporate' video of what Zonice is all about and what do they do.
And they are a pretty successful enterprise itself. In addition to that, they organise and conduct scouting activities
for Scouts and schools too.

later it was a showing of an old video film of some 51 year old American former farmer living it out for the rest of
his retirement in the Mountains and he built his log house from scratch all by himself. It was an inspirational and
amazing documentary about him and the wild.

After which it was a lot of team building games which everybody had loads of fun and laughter.
Unforunately we had to wait for the rain to stop before we could play the outdoor games and that was another wonderous time
for all of us. I literally laughed my stomach out. It was hilarious.

Some casualties for the day. 1 had something in the eye which caused pain, but after flushing with water, it was fine.
Another wasn't so good as it was stomach flu.
