National Scout Lore Quest 2012

The finals of National Scout Lore Quest (NSLQ) will be held at The National Library. It promises fun, challenges and an enriching learning experience for participants.

The Scout Lore is a body of tradition and knowledge that has evolved with the Scout Movement since its founding by Lord Baden-Powell in 1907. The Quest comprises of a Quiz and a Static Display Competition. Participants will gain a greater understanding and appreciation of the rich heritage of local and international Scouting during the Quiz. Their awareness of the latest development in Scouting will be enhanced. Besides, the skills, knowledge and experiences acquired through progressive and proficiency badges will be reinforced. The Static Display competition will enable the teams to exhibit their creative handicraft and skills in the graphical presentation of information. Above all, the Quest will help participating teams inculcate teamwork, resourcefulness and acquire research ability.
 
Upon discussion with the Scout Leader and the teachers, the following Scouts have been nominated for this event. The preliminary round will be held on 21 July. Further details will be given at a later date. SL Benjamin will prep you guys in the coming weeks. Do your best!

Proper Uniform Layout

Greetings Scouts,

I would like to share this information once again, about how the badges are suppose to be sewn and its arrangements. This is taken from the Katong District Handbook and I would like all of you to have a look and do the necessary adjustments to your uniform.

Patrol Leaders, please ensure that the boys know where to sew their badges. Also, There is a slight change in the arrangement of how the Standard Badges are suppose to be sewn on the sleeve. Please take a look and adjust it accordingly.

I hope these pictures have given you a clearer picture of the proper uniform layout. From now on, no excuses such as, "I don't know it was suppose to be sewn in this manner." Patrol Leaders, do see to this matter. Wear your uniform with pride and professionalism. We are Boy Scouts, be proud to wear your uniform properly. Thank you and God Bless.

Yours in Scouting,
Benjamin Sho
Scout Leader

Scout Standard Badge

Progress Badge (Scout Standard, Advance Scout Standard, First Class Scout Standard)
The Progress badge should be the highest badge just below the Singapore Scout Flash. The exception is when the Scout holds the Ambulance Badge, as it is the only badge that comes in a pair (2 of the same design). Therefore it is worn below the Scout Flash and above the Progress badge. No other badge is to be above the Patrol badge, only the Progress and Ambulance. The Progress Badge is to be sewn on the left arm sleeve.

Proficiency BadgesOn the right arm sleeve, the Ambulance badge should be the highest with all other proficiency badges below it. It is not part of the formation of the Green Proficiency badges.The number of Proficiency badges (including Service badges) allowed for each Progress level is as follows:
Scout Standard badge : 5 Proficiency badges.
Advance Scout Standard badge : 10 Proficiency badges.
First Class Scout Standard badge : As many badges as the Scout can earn.
