Have Your Pick (of ATC Adventure Facilities)

First off, this year's Annual Training Camp (ATC) has been confirmed to be held on 5th - 8th Dec at Sarimbun Scout Camp.

Like last year, you guys as participates will have your say in some of the activities that will be carried out during the camp, namely the Adventure facilities by voting for which facilities you would like the Unit to book.

Sadly, there will be no kayaking this year because Mr Chan wants to save money as this year's earnings from Job Week and Donation Draw (our share) is about $2000 or less (I'm pretty sure its much less, maybe about $1500).

The original budget for this camp was $2000, which would not be enough for any adventure facilities at all. However we (VSL Gary and myself) were able to get him to increase the budget abit and allow you guys to have at least some adventure facilities.

Each Scout will get two votes and we will rank the facilities from highest to lowest and book them accordingly, based on availability and number of votes.

All adventure facilities are half-day long, same as last year. Your choices are as follows:
1. Rock Climbing Wall
2. Zipline
3. Challenge Valley
4. High Abseil
5. Challenge Poles
6. Challenge Ropes Course
7. Archery

The PLs will have to email me the results of the voting by this coming Wed. If there are people who do not give their votes by this dateline, sorry but too bad they've lost their chance to have a say in this.

So if your PL hasn't called you be sure to let them know your votes or hold your peace.

Yours in Scouting,
Sivalingam Shaun
Scout Leader

Up-coming Saturday Meeting

I have mentioned this before but for those of you who have forgotten or were not present, this coming Sat (8/9/07) will have a meeting.

The hike is an addition event which we periodically hold (like the Combine Act in March) so it an add on and a change from your usual training which is still important especially for the up-coming Advance Camp. Also there was already no meeting on Fri (31/8).

So check for further updates on up-coming meetings.

I will try to post up something regrading the hike within the next 2 days. I'm not feeling well and strangely tired.

Yours-in-Scouting,
SL Shaun
