Written by: Evangel Wong, Assistant Senior Sixer & Scribe BEEP!” “BEEEEEEEPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!” Everybody rushed to gather in horse shoe.We did the normal routines and gathered in Indian file. Baloo asked us how many people have already earned our gold arrow. A few hands shot up, but Baloo was not satisfied :( Baloo asked how many people got their silver arrow...still not many people raised their hands (Baloo shook his head..)

After doing all of the administrative, we boarded the bus to our destination. Upon arrival we saw a lot of people and best of all… GAMES!!! We had a few rehearsals for the pledge.

Our second task was the best and personally my favourite, we were asked to go around with some badges and whenever we see someone, we go out to them and share the TFG2000 message… This is how it goes…     "Hi!
