Since it is still March holiday,
we do not have our usual scout meeting.
Together with some sixers and
assistant sixers, I was privileged to help out at the Ulu Pandan Community
Day. We were there to form the guard of honor to welcome the guest of honor, Mr
Christopher de Souza and to usher visitors in the carnival.
When we arrived at the carnival,
we were greeted by a heavy downpour. However, that did not dampen our spirit.
In fact, I think we added life to the carnival. We did what we could to help
around. Some of us provided umbrella service to shelter visitors from one part
of the carnival to the other. Others of us were encouraged to mingle around to
make new friends. To our pleasant surprise, we met an American Girl Scout
there. She is very passionate about scouting, she showed us her vest full of
badges and we exchanged our scouting experience.
Thankfully the rain stopped after
an hour.
There were many memorable
experiences for us that day. Personally, it had to be the moment we were
welcoming Mr Christopher de Souza. As he was walking down the row of saluting
cubs, he suddenly stopped in front of me and started talking to me!
In my opinion, the most memorable
moment for the girls must be when we worked together to regulate the crowd of
children at the bouncing castle. And to the boys it must be the endless play at
the Combat Skirmish as they were needed to make up the numbers to enable the
visitors to combat.
