Henry Park Pelican (Cub) Scout

Written  by: Cheong Yew Chung, Assistant Sixer & Scribe “Beep, beep” the Senior Sixers blew their whistles. We went to horseshoe formation and did colour party. After colour party we played a game called “helium straw”.  From the facial expression and laughter of everyone, we could see that everyone had a great time. It was also fun watching how each other try their ways and means to balance the straws.                                                                            After the game of straw, we did some First Aid. Mr Cheong taught us how to use the scarf as a triangular bandage. We learnt to tie the head, arm and knee bandag...

The Pelican Scouts were approached this year to provide help to the Mid-Autumn Festival held in Henry Park on 29 September 2017. A total of 15 cub scouts (P4 & P5) stepped up and agreed to serve the school. Their duties include ushering guests, manning various games booths and helping out at the stage area.  The teachers and guests were impressed with our scouts. They showed responsibility and resilience. They hardly took any breaks and some forgo their ice-cream and popcorn coupons. In fact, they also acted as our school’s ambassadors, giving directions and offering help whenever possible to the participants and guests, beyond their call of duty, truly adhering to the Scout’s Law. We are proud of them.

Written by: Syed Hafiz, Assistant Senior Sixer & Scribe “Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep” I blew my whistle to attract all the cubs for horseshoe. After horseshoe we gathered in Indian file and straightened our lines. Then, we sat down and gave our attention to Mdm. Karina. She was giving out badges. She told us what we were going to do.  When I heard what we were going to do, I was super excited. We were going to build castles for king or queen. I joined platypus to help them out. We were given straws, two rows of masking tape and scissors. We also could use anything we could find around us and in our bags. We were given 1hour and thirty minutes to make our castle. We quickly rushed to a random spot and started. We did the walls  first by taping 26 straws together.  We had to make four of those. I cut a hole out of  one of the walls to make a doorway. We made the door out of straws. Then, we made the roof out of straws and aluminum foil. After all of that,...

Written by: Bryan Low, Assistant Sixer & Scribe Today, after assembling in school at 9.00 p.m., we started with our normal horseshoe. After the horseshoe, we lined up in our Indian file. When we had sat down, Baloo told us that today, we would be going to different classrooms on level 1 to do something … We were put into 3 groups to go to our separate classrooms. The grouping was pretty much like a headcount, except we restarted once we reached 3. After we got our groups, we were assigned teachers to take us to our classrooms and help us with the activity. So, went to our separate classes. Once we were in the classroom, our teacher, Mdm Kerina, took out a set of cards. What could we possibly be doing with those cards? I wondered. My question was soon answered by Mdm Kerina. “With this set of cards, you will have to pick one to explain yourself, then later, scouting.” She said. After she explained what we were to do, we lined up in three rows and started picking ca...
