Upcoming pioneering test

Hey Scouts,
If you do not know, there will be an upcoming pioneering test for all levels conducted by the ASLs. For the Year 1s, you will be tested on knots & lashings (so it is advised that you learn about the uses and the way to tie the knots/lashings that can be found in scout green booklet). The Year 2s and 3s will be divided into two groups per level to build a watchtower whereby the time limit is 1h 15min and 1h 10min respectively. As for the actual test day, we are not sure yet but it's always better to be prepared :D
Here are some tips to building the watchtower within time limit. Credits to your secretary, Su Jun :)

Today, I have also realised that the Year 1s and some Year 2/3s are still uncertain about the timber hitch which is the starting knot for diagonal lashing. Please make sure that you know how to tie it because diagonal lashing is frequently used.
Thank you and rest well before the next cca session :)

Hike details

Dear all,

I am just adding on to Sandy's post to clarify certain doubts regarding tomorrow's hike.
Firstly, junk food isn't allowed on hikes. This has been an enforced rule since long ago and is applicable to every hike you attend. I trust that you should know the reason as to why we enforce such a rule.
Secondly, bringing slippers is optional, although I rather encourage you to do so. You may meet certain unfortunate circumstances which may call for the use of them during the hike.
Tomorrow's attire is CCA tee and PE shorts, so please do not come in PE shirt.
The 1 litre of water is definitely not optional and its for your own good, to stay hydrated.

Please waterproof all valuables and important items tomorrow. As they might get wet if there's wet weather tomorrow.

That's all, have fun on the hike tomorrow guys! :)

17 OCTOBER HIKE

Hello Scouts,
Please fall in at 1pm at the porch tomorrow after your post EOY Activities in PT kit with your belongings. Do pack according to the packing list and inform your respective patrol leaders if you are going to leave at Marymount MRT or if you have any medical conditions and MC.
You guys may also want to bring along slippers or sandals to change into after the hike if your shoes do get wet but there will be no changing of shoes during the hike itself due to safety reasons. Please also waterproof all your belongings in ziplocs in case of wet weather. Do pack lightly and enjoy yourself in the hike. :)

Y3s, if your post EOY activity overruns after 1pm, just fall in ASAP. There will be time allocated for you all to buy some lunch if needed. Y1s and 2s, please have your lunch before falling in.

Thank you. :)

National Exploration Challenge

Hi Scouts,

I believe that your PLs have informed you about the National Exploration Challenge. The following is some details about this event. We hope that at least 2 members can volunteer for each patrol and in total, there should be at least a scout from each level. It's highly recommended for the Year 2s to volunteer because it will serve as a meaningful experience.

Thank you and we look forward to your active participation.
