Orientation Camp (11-13 Feb) 2011

Dear Scouts,

do be reminded that tomorrow is the start of our Orientation Camp and do bring along all necessary equipment. Attendance is compulsory and parents will be informed if you do not turn up without any valid reasons.

For the Sec 1s:
You should have already prepared your Scout Uniform (with the badges sewn on the shirt and beret badge attached to the beret) as you will be wearing them for the Investiture Ceremony held on Saturday night.

In case of any misunderstanding, the reason why i told you to cross out the items 1, 5, 10 and 13 is because those items have been bought and that you still have to bring them to camp.

Yours-in-Scouting,
Mr. Lincoln Chan
