Reminder

Dear all,
due to the Sec 3 Camp and Sec 2 Heritage trail this week, there will be no scout meetings on 25th and 26th of February.

However, all Sec 1s + James Lee are to fall in outside the Scout Den on 25th Feb (Friday) from 1400-1500pm. Attire: School uniform. I will be conducting their registrations with Scout HQ in the computer lab. Attendance is compulsory. Thank you.

Regards,
Mr. Lincoln Chan

Dear all,

Please be reminded that the fall-in time of the Founder's Day parade is at 0630hrs sharp. The attire to fall in is half-uniform, do remember to bring your full uniform and sew all your badges (especially for those who just receive their name tags). Please do not be late.

Thank you.

Yours-in-scouting,

Patrol Leader

Updates

Dear all,
1. Apologies for the rehearsal which took place today as we have to prepare for the Founder's Day Parade which will be held in school on 22nd Feb (Monday). Due to the clash in training dates with the CNY last week, we had to hold the extra rehearsal today. Sorry for the late notice.

2. For your information, 22nd February marks the date of birth of Mr. Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell, the Founder of World Scout Movement, and this memorable day is celebrated worldwide. More information can be found at the Scout HQ website http://www.scout.org.sg/

3. Finally, we will be doing stock-taking on our logistics this coming Mon (22/2) and maybe Tues if things aren't settled by Monday. I would of course prefer the whole unit to help out with this maintenance and reorganization of the scout den but if there are clashes with tuitions, swimming or piano lessons, the affected scouts will be excused. Otherwise, they are supposed to stay back and work together to contribute to the efforts on Mon and Tues.

Yours-in-scouting,
Mr. Lincoln Chan

Updates

Dear Scouts and Parents,

This is a gentle reminder that the Orientation Camp will be from 5th Feb to 7th Feb (Fri to Sun). Do ensure that the consent forms are signed and returned to either Venture Jolian of 4E3 (preferably) or the Patrol Leaders with the $20 camp fees.

I have to apologize for the short notice in the alteration of the pants and sewing of the Unit/District badges as the allocation of Sec 1s into their various CCAs did not take place till the 4th week and it has been a hectic period for the teachers/scout leaders in their preparations for the camp and to get the equipment ready for the Sec 1 scouts. Hence, i seek your understanding and support in this matter.

Thank you so much.

Warm regards,
Mr. Lincoln Chan
Group Scout Leader
