The aim of the programme was for us scouts to learn the importance of keeping Aedes mosquitos at bay and then spreading the awareness to others.

After color party, we immediately started our official scout meeting. Today was very special because one of our cub scouts managed to get a Collector proficiency badge .We are very happy for that particular cub and we wish that more cub scouts will continue to work hard to achieve more proficiency badges.              A particular game we played today was a hybrid version of 'dog and bone ' where a few people whom were 'amoeba ' would catch anybody who goes near the bone would be chased by the 'amoeba' , but those who successfully got away with the bone and who were not caught would immediately get one point awarded to their group.

Written by: Janice Koong, Assistant Senior Sixer & Scribe The senior sixers blew their whistles at 9am and the cubs scrambled to form the horseshoe. This time, Emu did the colour party. After the horseshoe, we assembled in Indian File and marked our attendance. Chil announced that we were going to do Track & Trail, which is required for the Bronze Arrow. We were taught different signs and each six was given a task to complete. Each six had to use sticks and rocks to form the signs. Thereafter, Chil visited each six and questioned the members about each sign. We took a short break before gathering back in Indian File. Then, Raksha filled us in on some details of the upcoming Amazing Trail, on 17th May. She told us to be punctual and meet in school at 8:30am. She also informed us on what to wear. Before heading home, we went through the horseshoe and sunset party. The cubs who planned to apply for Akela Award stayed back after the pack meeting
