Sec 1 orientation

The sec one orientation has been organised with good intent. Many of the items were addressed as planned.
1. Meeting at the Haven
2. Notice board
3. Scout Den
4. Introduction
5. Cooking
6. Games
7. Issues of 2 materials:
- jobweek consent form
- particular form

With the foresight of the SPL, a small but sturdy shelter has been built. It reminded me of the moments of last year when Wei's brothers were trying to achieve their cooking batch.....so much has passed. So many things had occurred, and just a moment later, it is February 2006. What have we learnt?

As always as mentioned, I sincerely requested all of my brothers to have the same visions as me-creating a brotherhood within us. Allowing us to learn from each other such that years later, we will still be in contact and call each other brothers.

Again I look forward the year.

As mentioned in the meeting, there are a few items that we had discussed

1. Meeting preparation

5. Flag break

Where is the flag and have we gotten it?


6. Any materials required?

Pen and pencils, paper and board. Any thing required $, please inform me.


Today is Tuesday. PLC should by now have a idea about who is doing what. Imagine from your mind, what kind of setting will it be, how will it be, what need to be done. Simulate in your mind first before you execute. Send me the arrangement.

In the meeting, I commented about 2 things: Sincerity and responsibility.

Look around at your respective patrol and ask yourself, have you prepared the sec 1 last year? Many times we mentioned that others never give us an opportuinity to prove ourselves, but have we put in the effort.

Many a time, the test in CCA is not instantaneous. The result will not show. It, however shows after sometime. When it is not fantastic, we point the finger at others, have we reflected?

Last year, there was a serious deep in the morale during the NPC. This year at the start of the year, another serious dip during recruitment because of a lack of people.

But what really disappointed me in these 2 seemingly unrelated incidents, there is one common cause-infighting among the scouts.

So before we execute any action, ask again, have the key personnels (PLC, scout) been informed?

I look upon Scouter Wilbur because he had helped others to achieve to the greater heights, are you prepared?
