Henry Park Pelican (Cub) Scout

By Emu Sixer Favian Poh We assembled in Indian file, getting ready to take our attendance before we got into our sixer corner. After sixer corner, the Scout Leaders recapped the basics of foot drill such as: Ke-Kiri Pusing – Left Turn Ke-Kanan Pusing – Right Turn Senang Diri – Stand at Ease Sedia – Attention Ke-Belakang Pusing – About Turn / 180 degrees Turn After we practiced the foot drill, a loud whistle was blown by the Senior Sixer and we reassembled in Indian file. The Senior Sixers and all sixers were told to go to Kidzone 2 to discuss how we were going to entertain the elderly from AWWA (Ang Mo Kio Branch) during the coming VIA program (community service). We invited the elderly to HPPS and would be celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival on 9th September (Saturday) from 9 am - 1 pm. The rest of the cubs were split into the three different groups. Cubs doing their Bronze Arrow went to the classroom to work on their Bronze Arrow. Cubs doing their Silver Arrow and Gold Arrow stayed in t...

By Echidna Sixer Benjamin It was about 8.50am when everyone got into the Kidzone. The Senior Sixers, Ewan and Donald, blowed the whistle to get everyone in horseshoe. I had to keep on arranging my members uniform as it was not properly done. After the parade, we went into Indian File. Kaa then announced that we were going to make Farewell Gifts for the P6 scouts. We had to write a letter and decorate a frame for them. We went into our Six corner and started the decorations. It was hard to control the Six as everyone was walking around and talking to each other. However, I managed to control them after a few tries. Once we were done, we had to display our artworks in front of our Six. Next Bagheera handed the time to the Senior Sixers to lead the pack. The Senior Sixers decided to call all the sixers out and lead the pack in singing song. We ended off with the Sunset Party and had to go for six council.

By Bilby Sixer Zeyu We arrived at 9am for the color party. We lined up in horse shoe which took some time as some of the cubs were still not sure what to do. After we got into horse shoe, Donald started the color party. It was Emu’s turn to raise the flag. After color party, we lined up in Indian file. Ikki took some time to explain the purpose of 1 minute of silence. Ikki explained that, during the 1 minute of silence, we are supposed to plan ahead mentally for the day’s activities and set personal goals for the meeting. After that, we had Six Corner. In their Six Corner, the cubs shared what they have brought for the pancake making competition. Some cubs brought fruits, others brought chocolates. They discussed how they were going to decorate the pancake. After six corner, we changed into half uniform. After all the six had changed into half uniform, Bagheera told us that the canteen is ready to cook the pancakes. At the canteen, Raksha briefed us about how to make a pancake. First,...

By Senior Sixer Ewan Mark Tan I was excited about our upcoming meeting about pioneering activities. Today was going to be a day of discovery and learning. I arrived at school early to set up the flag pole, eager to make the most of it. Donald and I blew a whistle to signal the start of our activities, forming a horseshoe formation. With this first step completed, we moved on to a colour party, aligning ourselves in Indian file. *GETTING IN FORMATION* Repetition was essential as we practised switching between the horseshoe and Indian file formations. Our initial attempts were a little slow as we tried to improve, but we persevered. After working on our formations, we settled down and took attendance. It was time to divide into six corners, allowing the sixers to interact with their group members and offering scarf-tying advice to those who needed it. *A PIONEERING ADVENTURE* As we resumed our Indian file arrangement, we were given instructions and reminders about the day's activitie...
