Henry Park Pelican (Cub) Scout

Written by: Justin Kong, Senior Sixer and Scribe Leader We gathered very early in school today for our first outdoor activity of the year! We are going to the Singapore Botanical Garden for a treasure hunt. Everyone especially the new cubs were very excited and could not wait to board the bus! Upon arrival, we lined up in Indian files. Akela explained the rules of the treasure hunt and told us that each six will be given 2 identical worksheets filled with questions about the garden. We were given 1.5 hours to answer as many question in the worksheets and points will be allocated accordingly.  There will be adult leaders patrolling the garden to ensure that we follow the rules given and points will be deducted if anyone found breaking the rules.  All sixes dashed off at the sound of "GO" from Akela. Some sixes decided to plan before going to places, others approach the information counter to gather information and some just dashed off without knowing where to go...

In today's meeting, adult leaders collected the job week money from all the cubs. While the adult leaders were collecting the money, every cub was asked to write their personal reflection about their job week experiences. When the collection was done, Kaa got a few cubs to share with everyone their job week experience. Once again, our cubs did very well for this year's job week. Everyone worked hard and many had very positive experiences and enjoyed the process. Well Done, cubs! Next, cubs were divided into two groups for some wild time - G.A.M.E.S.!!
