Badges

Dear Scouts,

The Frank Cooper Sands (Gold) Badge is now available!
Scouts who have attained 75% attendance and above, throughout 2009 are eligible to sew on this badge. Please check with our scout teachers for your attendance rate last year.

Take note, in order to earn CCA points each year, an attendance rate of 75% and above, has to be reached.
Thus, every Friday and Saturday scout meetings you attend contribute to your attendance rate. (Including training camps)


Additional events/activities like Courses, Campfires, Combined activity, District Amazing Race, other Scout Events or National Events like YOG 2010 (Youth Olympic Games), NDP 2010 (National Day Parade), SYF (Singapore Youth Festival), plays a tremendous part in your NYAA (National Youth Achievement Award) or CIP (Community Involvement Program) hours.

To Secondary Ones & Scouts who just joined or switched patrols,
the patrol badges are available for you to sew on.
Please collect it by this coming Friday's scout meeting from your individual Patrol Leaders/Assistant Patrol Leader.

I am terribly sorry for the delay in receiving these badges.

For your information, Scout Leader Shaun will be your examiner for Proficiency badge tests.
These badges are for your interest & pursuit, and it will showcase how expertise you are, in a specific daily-life skill.
