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
