Scout meeting this Sat (26Mar11) - [8am - 12.30pm]

Dear Dove Scouts
There is Scout meeting this Sat (26Mar11) - [8am - 12.30pm].
Jiang Li sir will brief the PLs of the details of this Sat's meeting.
Please remember to bring your Scout booklet at all times for all the meetings and check which areas you'd need to pass in order to get to the next Scout Standard.

Also I'd like to take this opportunity to thank and commend everyone in their efforts during the last JobWeek.
We managed to hit our target maximum points for the Frank Cooper Sands Award section on Jobweek earnings. The next one will be the donation draw tickets that will be issued to you around May. Please continue to keep up the good work!
Also FYI, so far the top 3 earners for JobWeek are from the Sec 1s!! Will let you all know who they are once all the Jobweek cards and monies are collected and accounted for. Those who earned 'well' will get their bumble-bee badge, Yayyy!! We will let you know what is the meaning of earning 'well' soon.
As said earlier, the top 3 earners for JobWeek will receive a 50% subsidy for the coming Jamboree at year end which we are targeting the Malaysia Jamboree (19-25Nov2011). The details of the Jamboree should be coming from Scout HQ soon and we will try to have almost our whole unit to go for this as much as possible.
