Earth Hour and Job week collection 26 March 2011 By Scribe Marcus Choo Time flies and the March holidays and Job Week are over in a flash. At today’s meeting, all cubs had to hand in their Job Week money to Akela. After horseshoe, Akela conducted a quick survey on how much money we earned. $50? Quite a few cubs raised their hands. $100? $200? $300? I earned slightly more than $200. Less and less cubs raised their hands as the amounts went up until 1 cub was left, earning more than $650.

Akela quickly explained to me what I was supposed to do. He then told everyone to form horseshoe. The whistles were blown and everyone fell into complete silence. The 5 recruits and I marched up to Akela and he then asked the recruits some questions. The recruits answered his questions, placed their left hands on the scout flag and recited the scout promise. Akela then put their scarves on them and they officially became HPPS Pelican cub scouts. Congratulations!! Armed with cameras, their parents snapped away excitedly of their child’s...
