Venture Interview 2011 Updates

Greetings to the Venture Applicants of 2011!

Here are the latest updates for the Venture Interview. The Venture Adult Leaders Council has decided to postpone the interview to another date due to the absence of certain leaders that are required to be present for the interview. Below are the details for the Venture Interview:

Date: 27th November 2010
Venue: St. Gabriel's Secondary School (Fall in outside the Scout Den)
Time: To arrive school at 0800hrs. Interview commences at 0830hrs
Attire: Full Scout uniform with head dress/beret
Items to bring: Certificates/Portfolio, civilian clothings if you want and stationaries.

Meanwhile, during this period while you guys are waiting for the Venture Interview to commence on the 27th of November, I would like Nathan, who will be the IC for your batch, to contact VSL Gary immediately as he has a task for your batch (that includes those who are not keen to join the Venture Unit).

Late comers for the interview will not be entertained. Any applicants that have missing items or are not in the appropriate attire will be sent home and deem as failed for the interview.

More updates will be posted up on the blog should there be any changes. Good luck for your preparation.

Yours in Venturing,
AVSL Benjamin Sho
