Henry Park Pelican (Cub) Scout

Written by Syred Hafiz, Asst Senior Sixer & Scribe “beeb, beeb beeb, beeb beeb!” I blew the whistle to signal horseshoe. I was proud as when I was in the middle, I could see a lot of new scout members. There were a lot more than before and all of them were standing proudly. After horseshoe, baloo came and asked some people to stand up and sing what they have prepared to the previous week. Since I did not come, I did not know what baloo was talking about.   So he brought us to the music room. There, we were learning a dance called waka waka. It was a very fun dance and the music is very nice. Then, baloo called the singers up. They ended up singing a song by one direction. The song is called what makes you beautiful. These performances are actually for the gala dinner after the amazing trail. We rehearsed many times until we were perfect. We were confident of doing well for the dance as we were quite good at it. We walked back to the kidzone for dismissal. I blew the w

Written by Trisha Chan, Senior Sixer & Scribe Today we were going to Singapore Botanical Garden for a treasure hunt! After taking attendance, we boarded the bus and headed to our morning of fun. When we arrived at the Botanical gardens, we went to our starting point, the grass area in front of the Symphony stage. We were then given a few pages of questions to answer and two hours to complete them. We then set out to complete as many questions as possible. We ran around searching for information like: What were the 14 rules and regulations of the gardens, or how many lights were there on the Symphony stage. After two hours were over, we went back to the grass area in front of the symphony stage and had our picnic. Soon we made our way back to school and went back home.

Written by Cheong Yew Chung, Asst Sixer & Scribe I t was just 5.49p.m. we had just arrived after a meeting and a few hours.                                                                                                                             The campfire was going to be amazing as it was my first time attending a catholic high campfire. I was so excited I could not stop moving. It felt like the night wind was blowing in all directions and learnt many new songs like 朋友. It felt like we were all brothers listening and dancing to the very catchy music. The floor was full of laughter, chants and songs. Surprisingly the songs are still stuck in my head. I felt the songs are filled with values like how friends should stay united and close having each other’s backs even if it’s a loss.       So in conclusion, the camp fire was mesmerizing. I did not want to go home but I had to. Through this I hope you will learn that you can learn values in different forms, b

Written by Cheong Yew Chung, Asst Sixer & Scribe T he day, went smoothly until I came to school. I had then remembered that the current time was 7a.m. and I was 2h ours early!                    Upon knowing I asked my father why he had woken me up and brought me to school earlier. He then reminded me today was the day me and the other Akela candidates took our first aid test. We were told that we needed to pass and get the First Aid badge and or else we could not take the Akela badge this year. The fear of failing the test already got me scared. After we took the first part of the test, we started seeing some of the other scouts coming, and in no time at all they came and Trishia, the Senior Sixer, got tested first as she needed to lead the scouts in the colour party. While we were still taking our test while looking through the end of the door that they were most likely dancing to music and we guessed it was waka waka a famous song. By the time we were done we join

Written by Syred Hafiz, Asst Senior Sixer & Scribe It was finally happening again. Inviting our new President, Mdm Halimah Yacob as our new Chief Scout. This ceremony is called the Adiji 2018 Chief Scout Celebration. It happens when Singapore has a new president and that president will be the new Singapore Chief Scout. At the celebration, the Henry Park Pelican Scouts and other scout groups practiced a drill to welcome the President. That took us about one and a half to two hours to do. It was an extremely hot day while we were doing the drill. After the drills, we headed to the canteen to eat. There were so many selections of delicious food such as fried chicken, seaweed chicken, nuggets, ice cream, burgers, drinks and snacks. And the best thing was they were all cheap. I stuffed myself as I had not eaten lunch. Then, we were told to quickly go up on stage and to what we practiced. All of   a sudden, the President was entering the hall. Everyone was extremely
