50th Annual Campfire Preparation - Perpetuus Symphonia

Dear Scouts and Parents,

Kindly be reminded that our 50th Annual Campfire will be held this coming Friday, 12/6/09. The event will commence at 7pm sharp. Having said this, our scout group would like to extend our invitations and warmest welcomes to all parents who are interested in attending this campfire and commemorating 54 years of scouting with us!

For the final phase of preparations, all scouts are reminded that the training dates are as follows:

• 8 June 2009, Monday - 0800 - 1300 hrs for scouts

- 0800 - 1600 hrs for campfire committee members

• Camp: 11 June - 13 June 2009 (Pre-post campfire camp)

Time of commencement: 0800hrs sharp on Thursday
End time: 1700hrs on Saturday (post-celebrations - further details will be given)

Camp Packing List has already been given to the PLs and APLs to circulate.

If you are unable to attend any of the periods during the camp, you are required to provide us with a Medical Certificate. In addition to that, do exercise the personal responsibility to inform your PLs or seniors if you are unable to attend any of the trainings. This way, things would run more effeciently for everyone.

If not, let us all work together and put in our best in a determined mindset for the last stretch, to make our 50th Annual Campfire a rousing success! Persevere on, have faith, and we WILL deliver!
