- My advice to all the sec ones and twos is to get lots of different badges and stuff from HQ and exchange them with the other overseas scouts for unique badges and stuff.
- I've got my badges ready... have you got yours? *smiles*
- Note: Do make sure you have sewn the unit badge onto your hats. [The hats are loaned to you and you'd need to return them after the Jamboree]

Sec 1s shall have cooking at the sand pit and tent pitching in the school field. If you guys are good, you should finish your Scout Standard and Advanced Scout Standard that day.

3. Those who have not submitted their Crime Prevention logbooks and posters, please do so by this Sat. Test will also be conducted this Sat. Some have already gotten their badges.

4. [Added by Mr Kenny Wong] Next week is CCA Stand-down. For the sec 2s & 3s, please make sure you bring at least a water bottle and a suitable bag for the hike. I do understand it is a pretty busy term 4 for everyone, but do come for this last training before the exams. Cheerio!

Sept Events

Dear Scouts

Please take note of the following:

1. Crime Prevention - This Sat, I will collect all your log books and posters. Bring along your blue booklet as well. The test will be conducted this sat. All the test answers come from the blue booklet.

2. Scout Lore Quest - There are 3 topics for the challenge:
         a. Singapore Scouting History (1910-2010),
         b. Scout Practices
         c. How Singapore Scouts Operates.
(Scouts Involved: LUIS, BING HUI, GERALD, JONATHAN, DESMOND) 
I will talk to you guys this sat on the preparations for this. The Quest will be on 18th Sept from 1pm to 5pm at Greenview Sec.

3. Frisbee Challenge
I believe you guys have put in effort. Good job and well done! Winning is one thing, but putting in effort and displaying true sportmanship separates a winner from a champion.

4. Sat Training (4th Sept)
I have started school so from this week onwards, training shall resume to Saturday. I would like you guys to settle down after so many events (SYF, NDP, YOG and National Campaign Badges) and carry on with training as a Unit in Patrol System. If weather is good, we shall do tent pitching and brush up on our skills. This is to allow you guys to clear your various standards as well as to prepare for the Singapore Jamboree.

5. Forms submission for the Singapore Jamboree [add-on by Mr Wong]
I think it is a little bit unfair for those who faithfully submitted all their forms on time.
I am giving those who have not submitted the related forms to give me by Saturday (4 Sep).
Pls put it in my pigeon hole & SMS me. [by Mr Kenny Wong]
