Cheers

Moonlight Bay

We were sailing along…(We were sailing along)
On the moonlight bay…(On the moonlight bay)
We can hear the voices singing…(voices singing)
They seem to say…(What did they say?)
You have stolen my heart…(I’ve stolen your heart)
Now don’t go away…(I won’t go away)
And as we sing the love’s old sweet song…(On moonlight bay)
On moonlight bay...
Cannibal King

A cannibal king with a fat nose ring
Fell in love with a hula dame
And every night in the pale moonlight
Over the lake he came

He hugged and kissed his pretty little miss
Under the bamboo tree-ee-ee
And every night in the pale moonlight
It sounded like this to me

Arump- Muack muack!
Arump- Muack muack!
Arump- ba-eh-e-eh-e-eh
Arump- Muack muack!
Arump- Muack muack!
Arump- ba-eh-e-eh-e-eh
Pass It On

It only takes a spark to get a fire going.
And soon all those around will warm up in its glowing.

That's how it is with God's love,
Once you've experienced it, You'll spread it round, to everyone;

You'll want to pass it on.
Pass it on! Pass it on! Pass it pass it pass it on!
B.P Spirit

I've got the B.P. spirit right in my head,
Right in my head, right in my head,
I've got the B.P. spirit right in my head to stay.

I've got the B.P. spirit deep in my heart,
Deep in my heart, deep in my heart,
I've got the B.P. spirit deep in my heart to stay.

I've got the B.P. spirit all over me, All over me, all over me,
I've got the B.P. spirit all over me to stay.
Jamaican Farewell

Down the way where the nights are gay,
And the sun shines brightly on the mountain top,
I took a trip on a sailing ship,
When I reached Jamaica I made a stop.

Chorus:
But, I'm sad to say, I'm on my way,
Won't be back for many a day.
My heart is down, my head is turning around,
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town.

Sounds of laughter everywhere,
And the dancers swinging to and fro,
I must declare that my heart is there,
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico.

Thousand Legged Worm

Say a thousand legged worm
As he gives a little squirm
Have you seen this little leg of mine?
If it can’t be found I shall have to hop around
On my nine hundred and ninety nine

Chrous:
Hop around Hop around
Have you ever seen this little leg of mine?
If it can’t be found I shall have to hop around
On my nine hundred and ninety nine
Campfire's Burning

Campfire’s burning (2x)
Draw nearer (2x)
In the blooming (2x)
Come sing and be merry
Campfire’s burning now (4x)
Burning now …(2x)
Campfire’s burning in the dark dark night
Father Abraham

Father abraham had seven cildren.
Seven children had father Abraham.
Some of them were tall and some of them were short.
But none of them were bright.
Raise your
(right,left,stamp your right ,stamp your left, nood your head, stick out your tongue)

Southern Cross Amazing Race

Sorry I didn't post this up yesterday.

Now more about the race. If Vsl Gary hasn't already told you, this will be an Amazing Race styled race with a Scouting twist. Yes there will be Road Blocks and Detours as you and your Patrol race to East Coast Park.

What are the tasks and challenges you will have to face... well you're going to have to attend to experience it yourself or settle for hearing about them from your friends.

The hike will no less than 12km with 8 checkpoints.

Tips & Hints
1. Wear double socks and/or put powder in your socks to lessen the friction/stress on your feet.

2. Bring the items on your list.

3. Drink plenty of water.

4. Brush-up on your knots & lashings.

5. Get a good night sleep.

6. PLEASE EAT a good/heavy breakfast, you will need the energy.

So I have to ask... WHO'S GOING TO WIN?

I hope in the future, as soon as next year, we can have a larger scale Amazing Race, maybe all over Singapore, where you will have to take buses, MRT, LRT, walk, run, anything legal, doable and affordable (so no sky-diving yet) but again all this can only be done on Saturdays or holiday so do keep that in mind. This kind of thing takes a lot of time and effort to plan and arrange people will be less inclined to organize/help this kind of thing if people aren't going to participate, the current ALs can't be the ones to plan all the activities and we need help of seniors.

Some bad news though:
1. Sea activites (i.e kayaking) will not be allowed due to safety issues.

2. The CHIJ TP Guides will not be able to join us because of other committments.

Good luck to all and see you there,
SL Shaun

I'm Sorry, It was my Mistake

First I want to say that I am sorry for giving the wrong date for the Southeast Area Campfire at Bedok South Sec.

It is no fault of the SCC, I mixed the dates up and told the SCC to get as many people as possible to attend.

So please do not blame the PLs & APLs, this was my mistake. I am sorry to all those who were looking forward to going to the campfire and any undue stress caused to the SCC.

Sivalingam Shaun
Scout Leader

P.S. I will post an update for the hike tomorrow (this evening).

Sunday, August 19, 2007

On behalf of all the scouts,
i would also like to wish PL Jason Leong a,

HAPPY HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!
(:

-APL Alvin

Regarding BEDOK SOUTH SEC's CAMPFIRE

Just for your information.

We will NOT be attending the campfire at Bedok South Secondary School,
as it was supposedly held on the 18th of August instead of the 28th.
So,in other words.
We had already missed it.

We (APLs & PLs) deeply apologise for the false information.

ps. please spread this piece of information to your other fellow scouts.

Thank You.

Unit Hike & BBQ 2007

VSL Gary and I (with quite a bit of help from my girlfriend) have organized and planned this year’s Hike & BBQ.

You can ask your seniors who went for last year’s hike or checkout the photos @

http://s85.photobucket.com/albums/k52/666_BlackPanther/Unit%20Hike%2029%20July%202006/

This year, we will again be returning to East Coast Park for the end of the Hike BBQ. And you will not have to pay a cent. They food will be paid for by the Unit from the $750 the school gave us for maintaining our Silver Frank Sands standard.

You will have to pay for your own bike, kayak and skates if you want. The rental stations are about 600 – 800m from our BBQ pit site. The costs are about:

Bikes: $5 -$10 per hour
Single Kayak: $6 per hour
Double Kayak: $15 per hour
Roller-blades: $7 per 2 hours

This year the Hike will be a race to see which Patrol will reach the final checkpoint at ECP from St. Gab’s so we are expecting full attendance for this (compulsory) event to contribute to your Patrol’s chances of winning.

The Hike & BBQ will be held on 1st September 2007, Saturday. Fall-in in school at 0830 we will take a bus from ECP at 1600. It is not possible to hold this kind of activity on Fridays as there is not enough time and you still have classes.

On another note: Those that have not been turning up for Saturday meetings even valid reasons like tuition, your chances of being promoted next year will be less than half as we want people who are committed to the Unit. We are currently discussing what actions will be taken to improve the attendance of Saturday meetings.

Yours in Scouting,
SL Shaun

P.S. Disclaimer (Consent) forms will be given out this Friday.

P.P.S. Further updates will be posted up here.

Dear Scouts,

From now on,
It is a MUST,that ALL valuebles have to be surrendered to the PLs for safe keeping.

Reason being,
there have been countless situations in which people's valuebles had went missing.
OR
had been damaged.
Your valuebles will only be returned to you at the end of the meeing.

So we sincerely hope that you will understand why this measures have to carried out.
Thank You.

-Ryan
