As early as 0630 hrs, Cubs had gathered at the dining hall, despite instructions that breakfast would be at 0700 hrs. They must be hungry! Some had not finished packing and were sent back to their tents to pack up.

As the sky threathened to open up with early morning showers, everyone scrambled to strike the tents. In the process, items were still found lying around in the tents. Notably, Marcus had quite a few belongings strewn in his tent! Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Breakfast was baked beans, hard boiled eggs and sandwitch. Dylan Goh and Kelvin Tsui had difficulties finishing their breakfast. Kelvin had taken too much while Dylan seemed rather choosy with his food.

After breakfast, Cubs busied themselves cleaning the tents before packing the tents up. Grey Wolf, Ms Iris Ng and Griffin Scouts were on hand to ensure the tents were clean.

First aid followed. Cubs were taught how to treat a sprained ankle and what to do if their clothes caught fire - STOP, DROP, ROLL.

As part of training, Sixers had to conduct a game - dog and bone - for the pack. With Louis and Griffin Scouts overseeing, the Cubs had fun chasing each other.

It was time to award certificates to the trainees. Best Six was awarded to Elephant Six, while Best Log went to Sean Lee. Best Trainee was awarded to Timothy Liu for showing leadership qualities, care and concern for others, and a team player. Certificates of Appreciation were also awarded to Griffin Scouts and Jin Hao for their invaluable help.

Before boarding the bus, there was a quick opportunity for a group photo before the rain started. Phew! What great timing!

Arriving back at school at 1200 hrs as promised, the Cubs were dismissed after unloading the camp equipment, and a reminder that new appointments will be made next week.
