Fun Camp Day 3 11 Nov 2010 By Scribe Brenda Wang The day started with the blowing of whistles to get lined up in horseshoe--our usual ritual to start the day’s scout activities. Horseshoe was much better this time compared to the last, as many people wore their full scout uniform this time. After horseshoe, we made our way to the dining hall for our long awaited breakfast. We had our usual cereal with milk and bread with jam. Yum! Once our whole wave had finished breakfast, we walked to our UGA, also known as Usual Gathering Area in front of our water cooler, to be briefed on our first activity- H20 Challenge! We were all hoping to get wet soon- the sun was scorching and we had to brave the heat to continue our challenge. The first challenge included a: water tumbler, a cup, a basin, a ping pong ball, a blindfold and of course, water. In this activity, we had to pair up, hold a cup in between our partner’s hands and walk to the basin with the ping pong ball and pour water in i...

The good thing about today is that a lot of people encouraged others to do well. (Wayne Chin) On the long anxious wait to do the solo night walk, it's like waiting for a Chinese exam to start. (Jonathan Koong) I think we should keep quiet and listen if someone is talking. (Gerald Cheong) On climbing the high elements, I was afraid of heights, but then I decided to overcome my fear and try. (Eugene Lim) I learned about teamwork and shouting, scolding or panicking will not solve the problem. (Aw Yong Miao Xin) When they came back, they smelled like the town sewers. (Kimberly Song)

Fun Camp Day 2 10 Nov 2010 By Scribe Kimberly Song We scouts woke up bright in the morning just to finish up the remaining missing information for our journals. Some woke up and got ready. After all this last minute checks, we changed and did horseshoe. My ears perked up when I overheard Akela telling Brenda that we will have breakfast right after horseshoe. We all made a mad dash towards the Legacy Hall for…food! Once we were done eating that delicious breakfast of cereal and milk, it was raining. Since we could not do the high and low elements for now, so we did inspection! The horror! However, lady’s luck was smiling on the girls for the passed the inspection. We fooled around in the dorm. What fun! I hope that this may happen again in the next camp! (Next year!) When the rain subsided, we were able to do the elements! But, we’re led to the Hall instead. We play the some games. For example: Dragon’s tail and sailor’s command after all this games, we did the elements!...

Fun Camp Day 1 09  Nov 2010 By Scribe Marcus Choo Fun Camp, here I come! Though sad that I would not see my family for three and half days, I was looking forward to the activities on the first day! I was especially looking forward to the Geo-caching activity, a chance to try out a new device! Firstly was a briefing, we were briefed on some camp rules and introduced to the trainees. I was amazed at the number of trainers, and they come from all over the world, from Indonesia, UK, US and more! To my surprise, our first activity was Roller Coaster making. At first, I thought ti was using LEGO bricks to make a mini roller coaster, never did I know that we had to use straws, newspaper and balloon sticks to let a tennis ball coll down safely. This really was testing our creativity! After planning for 10 minutes, we were all set and ready to build the roller-coaster. Taping the newspaper to the balloon was a little messy, but could stable the ball, and the tape wasn't that stick...

More videos will be uploaded tomorrow!
