Hi Scouts, For today's event, it is unfortunately cancelled because of the heavy rain.
Some people may wonder: 1) Why is the event cancelled if it has a wet weather plan? - The activities planned are mostly outdoors and the location itself does not have many shelters to allow indoor activities.
2) Why is the event cancelled although the rain may subside? - According to the weather forecast, the rain will not stop anytime soon and even if it does, it is difficult to conduct activities with wet puddles everywhere. - It will be also be dangerous for all of you when there are puddles around, so this event is also cancelled due to safety reasons.
Last but not least, we would like to clarify that the district commissioner had to make the tough decision of declaring this event cancelled although a lot of preparation work was done for this event. I understand that many of you, Scouts, may be annoyed because you had to wake up early, put on your uniform and travel for quite some time to the school to find out that the event is cancelled. However, the teachers also had to call up all the schools to inform them, so as to ensure that no one turns up at Jurong Lake Park, cancel the transport services, etc. For those who remained in school until 7am, you would have heard from Mr See that the Field Day may either be postponed or cancelled for the rest of the year, depending on the District's plan.
On behalf of everyone, I would like to thank everyone who participated in the preparation work and kudos to the organisers for planning this whole event :D We really appreciate all your efforts.
For the rest of the weekend, please rest well and enjoy yourselves! Happy advance Youth Day!
-Janet
