11/11/05 NPC training blog

A colleague asks me what is the deal about NPC? To the sec 3 scouts, I believe you should know that the deal is that NPC is the "Mother of all camps". It is the National Patrol Camp where all scout unit pitch against all different units in all aspect as a scout: building, pitching and cooking.

But building, pitching and cooking are skill level issues. They are only about your own skill. The underlying but more important skill will be: unity, planning, coordination, support and will power.

I certainly hope that more scouts can give more support and align your views with SPL QJ.

Please take a look at the photos I have taken:
1. Diagonal lashing
2. Square lashing
3. Round lashing

Please take a look at the illustrations presented by the uk scouts. Anything missing from our side?

Successful people I admire are comfortable in their own skin. They don't need to take themselves too seriously....but they take their professionalism very seriously indeed. ~ Elaine Canty
