Tampines District Scouting for Food 2013 & Extension Scout Carnival

Dear Scouts

It is our pleasure to inform you that Tampines District is celebrating our 25th anniversary this year in 2013, and there will be a series of events to mark the Silver Jubilee. The first event is Tampines District Scouting for Food 2013 & Extension Scout Carnival. Taking place in the Founder’s Day weekend, we wish to celebrate the Founder’s Day in an even more meaningful way together as a District. The Scouting for Food has its aim to receive food donations, to manage and to redistribute
non-perishable food items to the less fortunate.

Stage 1: Awareness

Stage 2: Receiving (own schools/ Tampines East CC) 11-22 Feb 2013
– To help arrange and stock check donation drop box placed at CC in afternoon - evenings.

– Sorting and repacking of food items into carton boxes at Tampines East CC in afternoon - evenings
Stage 4: Rearranging

afternoon - evenings

Finally, on the Event Day on 23 Feb 2013 to officiate the redistribution of the collected food
