Invitation to parents for National Patrol Camp 2013

Dear Parents of Southern Cross Scout Troop,

First and foremost, we would like to thank everyone for their support and giving the opportunity to your sons to join Scouting in St. Gabriel’s Secondary School. As the months go by, we are able to see them progress and develop well.

I would like to share with all of you about the upcoming competition that is going to be held at the end of November 2013. The competition, which is the National Patrol Camp is a national competition held once in 2 years. This competition is organized by The Singapore Scout Association for all Scout units in Singapore to compete in various Scouting Components to determine the level (Bronze, Silver or Gold) of the Unit in Singapore. Examples of components being tested are pioneering, knotting, backwoodsman cooking, stove cooking, Scout Lore Quest, First Aid, Orienteering, etc.

Below is the list of Scouts who have volunteered to be in the team for the upcoming competition:

We would like to extend our invitation to parents of St. Gabriel’s Secondary Scouts to join the team in the planning and execution phase for the upcoming NPC. These are the areas that will benefit greatly from your kind assistance /  involvement:

2. Banners for Gateway and Pioneering Structures

3. Props for Skit performances.

We do hope to have your participation and assistance with our selected Scouts (NPC team) to strive to win the competition. At the end of the day, we would like to boost the confidence of our boys so as to get them prepared for society and personal progression as Scouting should be a holistic experience for them.  Pls feel free to contact Ms. Siti Masykura / Mr.  Johnson Sim / Mr Zhang Huasheng if you would like to express interest to be part of the team, latest by 17 August 2013.

We look forward to your reply. Thank you.
