In response to my SPL QJ

Good point that blog is not effective because not all scouts have PCs. In fact, by itself, it is definitely not effective. But some PLs did respond. You, at least responded.Thank you :) Clarifying matters can be done only when both parties are willing, if I am willing to communicate, are you (APLs and PLs included)?

Do suggest any way to improve the present deteriorating situation.

Dear SPL, maybe you are the SPL, therefore I have a higher expectation for you. May you also list your current duties? Thanks.

Don't worry, I am always in constant reminder of myself. Things are done after thought.

Of course I cannot compare the Sec 3 with the Sec 2. Senior scouts should be more organized, more willing to contribute and more matured. I do also expect that the senior scouts are more willing to participate. Should I have higher expectation for the senior scouts or for the junior scouts?

What is a waste of time? Please comment.

Again dear SPL QJ, your concerns are needless.I will not be so easily biased. Do ask them to comment too. I will not let my authority to pressurize them.

>fourthly, the bootlicker weize which you favour live by the quote "words without >actions". excuses like "having a diahorrea" are being far too exploited and we r >sick n tired of it. pls look into this matter. next, as the role of senior scouts, we >have the authority to pump our juniors when they do sthg wrong. this tradition >has always been carried out in scouts.

SPL QJ, firstly I disagree with you using such term as "bootlicker". It will definitely cause much misunderstanding.Secondly, I do not favour anyone. I do observe.

>u fear tt the juniors wouldnt come for scouts lest they feel tt its too tough. but >we have been through this before n we've come thus far. reflect upon the way >u pump us. does this mean tt we shud not come for scouts in future?

SPL QJ, I do not fear you "pump" anyone. My concern is , do they know why they are being pumped? Again, I do reflect.

>NCC is a much more horrible experience with much more pumpings. an >adequate amt of pumping is essential in scouts;where else do we get a sense >of belonging from if we cant even rejoice ultimately, having passed thru all the >different phrases in scouts? i wuld also like to pt out tt the system of passing >down msg from SPL to PLs is not very effective. we have our way of doing it >to ensure tt the msg gets across to everyone.pls dont relentless insist tt we do >it ur way if we culd achieve the same results with the original way.

Agreed with the point of enjoying having the sense of belonging. Again, is your method effective? May we take an honest look at the continuous attendance from the attendance list?

Respect definitely given to you for your opinions. Thanks for the reminder about the battary, it was being used to take photos for the scouts. Remember I passed the digital photos to Rover W. I used up two of my battaries for the camp.
