Henry Park Pelican (Cub) Scout

Written by Ross Pary, Assistant Sixer and Scribe It was a very dark Saturday morning. I was very excited as we were going to Bishan Stadium. We were going to commemorate World Scout Day. There were supposed to be about four thousand scouts there. Wow! That’s a lot of children. Many of the groups came from the South and North area. There were a lot of scouts scattered all over the Bishan Stadium field.   The guest of honour was Mr Chan Chun Sing, Minister for Trade and Industry. He was also a former Scout. After he took a few pictures with the Chief Commissioners, he showed all of us a very interesting   video. Five scouts actually did something very exciting. They ventured across the whole Singapore, walking on land and travelling on boat on water. After that, one of the scout emcees said,” Please activate the Scouting light app. We are going to pass down the ‘torch’. 3,2,1, GO!!!!” And, it had begun. Hundreds of scouts started passing it down.

Soon after, we gathered back and Mr Tan and Mr Cheong talked to us about the investiture and how to sew the badges which were given to the recruits    Soon enough, were we getting ready for the investiture. We had a practise run where we did a quick rehearsal in a horseshoe formation, wh

Some of the recruits have all forgotten their respective sixes and it took a while for them to settle down and we could start colour party. And after that, we did some badge giving out.                Without a second to spare, we soon went to the canteen. We put our heavy bags down and then went to different tables to start the activity. We were going to make mini spring rolls! It was 1 of the many CNY goodies(food). Me and my six, Echidna, were excited. Mr Lin taught us how to make them in just a few minutes time, first put in some floss and roll it, then fold the 2 end and then put water so it will stick. As easy as it sounds, it is actually very hard to make. Me and my six had cleared out the whole packet and could not make anymore. It was mostly thanks to one of the recruits, Leroy, he made them like no tomorrow. After finishing, the leaders helped us fr
