Henry Park Pelican (Cub) Scout

Written by Chong Min Rei, Senior Sixer & Scribe It was an early morning the sun hasn’t even risen when I woke up that day was going to be a long day. While waiting, Cubs killed time by playing and talking to one another. not long, everybody had arrived and Mr Cheong had begun his short briefing before the hike. We then took attendance and went off.  The bus ride was long and relaxing so we could get extra sleep before the long hike ahead of us. When we got of the bus we went to look at the sea between Singapore and Malaysia, we saw the loading area in Malaysia there were multiple boats filled with cargo. We continued the hike by walking along the beautiful sea and stopped in front of the gate leading into the waterfront to take a picture. When we went through the gates we immediately saw a monkey curiously looking at us. I felt a bit afraid that the monkey would jump at us and scratch us. Fortunately, it did not attack us. The trail was surrounded by trees which ...

Written by Ross Pary, Asst Sixer and Scribe Today we were attending the Ulu Pandan Emergency Preparedness Day activities! So fascinating! This would be the first time I would be going to such a big event about safety. After our attendance was checked, we got on the bus to the Ulu Pandan Marketplace. It was flooded with people. When we reached our waiting area, the sun started to get to us. But the scout leaders said the programme was going to begin. And they were right. The programme started off with a simulated terrorist attack. The idea was to show people how to behave in the event of a terrorist attack. The bullets that were fired were blanks. Interesting! After the simulated terrorist attack, in our six, we were supposed to go to the different booths to get our stamps and answer some questions. If we completed the activities, we would get a goodie bag! My six went to the Press, Tie and Tell booth first. We watched a video on how to treat injuries first. Then, we were...

Written by Cheong Yew Chung, Sixer & Scribe During the school National Day Celebration, some of the newly promoted Senior Sixers, Sixers and Asst Sixers were chosen to do marching. All of us felt proud and were excited. Especially me as I was one of the flag bearers. Though the whole ceremony was a short one, it was an exciting event that we will never forget.  

Written by Kwan Kai Fong Asst Senior Sixer and Scribe  In celebration of national day Ulu Pandan CC is having a dinner before this event we needed to be at school at 4 p.m. and there was the solar oven competition which lasted until 3 p.m. I stayed at school while others went home or somewhere close. So we went to Ulu Pandan CC but we sat in a room for 1 hour and 30 minutes including dinner until finally we went out to practice we all stood in straight lines on the side of the red carpet and sing the national anthem then walk away. We worked with brownies, boys brigade, girls brigade, string assemble and another school we went back to school at 8 p.m. the dinner was fun and I would like to go for more of these in the future.

Written by Bryan Low, Sixer & Scribe Today, I arrived at school at 7.35 a.m. as, along with other Akela Award Candidates, I would be going to Punggol View Primary School for our Akela Award interview. We were very excited as we had passed the logbook test and yellow book requirements, so the only thing standing between us and the Akela Award was this interview that we would be going for in about one hour’s time. When all of the Akela Candidates were present, we then took a bus to Punggol View Primary School which took us about 40 minutes. Once we had reached Punggol View Primary School, we went up to the hall and were given our group numbers. We then went to our groups and sat down, waiting for the programme to start while talking to other fellow scouts in our groups. Everything passed in a blur and soon, my group and I were in a music room, waiting to start our interview. We had been told that we would be split into two big groups. One group would...

Written by Thirrushan, Asst Sixer & Scribe Today was going to be the very first time I was going to cook something in a solar oven as i didn’t come for last years NORTH AREA SOLAR OVEN COMPETITION!! Firstly,I came extra early to try to finish my book readers badge as I needed it for my Akela Award,since I had already completed my gold arrow! Just as i was going to complete the last segment, Kai Fong blew the whistle,signalling all cubs to assemble in a horseshoe. I was not upset that I did not finish my proficiency badge as i still had half a year more to complete it! After the colour party, we assembled in our indian file. The cubs from another school joined us in the fun of the competition! We warmly welcomed our guests. After that Baloo explained to all of us how to set up the oven and its uses. A while later,Baloo ordered the sixers to bring their sixs to different corners of the Kidzone to make the oven. Our sixer went for the Akela award, so I was the acting sixe...
