ABSENTEEISM
Absenteeism from the course, or failure of the written test, or failure in the submission of the transfer agent forms will mean that they will fail the course.

AWARD & COLLECTION OF CERTIFICATES & BADGES
SANA HQ will send SSA the name list and certificates of those successful participants. An email notification will be sent to the respective Units to inform them of those successful participants. Units are required to print a copy of the email notification upon collection of the certificates and badges. Unit may appoint a representative to collect the certificates and badges from the General Office at Scout HQ.

Scouts are fully subsidied for this course. Thus anyone who fails to turn up for the course will have to pay for the course instead.

Attendance for Campfire Preparations

Dear all,

Please be informed that attendance for ALL campfire preparation trainings are COMPULSORY.

The campfire is not only our signatue unit event, it does help in the unit attaining our Frank Cooper Sands awards. When the unit gets the awards, the CCA point is also given to each member. Hence it is unfair if some do not contribute or contribute less, yet expect to be given the CCA point.

Hence unless you have a VALID MC (the trainings ae on school days anyway), you will be treated as absent. Letters are not accepted. We have to be strict on this to ensure fairness to all.

If you already have paid tuition ahead or any other events happening on those dates you could inform us (a letter have to be given by 16 May latest)  now as the dates have been put up before the examination was over.

This attendance will be taken into account as your overall attendance for the year. We are doing our best to allow more time for June holidays so we really hope for your co-operation.

Thanks.

Regards,
Ms Siti
