Henry Park Pelican (Cub) Scout

Written by Bryan Low, Sixer & Scribe I came to school very early at 7.20 a.m., and was really excited as today, we would be having our last job week briefing before setting out to begin our job week. I put down my bag and talked with my friends for a while before the senior sixer, Min Rei, blowed the whistle signal for horseshoe and i quickly got into my position in the horseshoe. We did the usual colour party, said the scout promise, and lined up in indian file to begin the briefing. Once in indian file, the sixers were asked to think up of a few skits to show good and bad examples of scouts and different people we meet. While we prepared the skits, the other scouts were briefed about job week with more detail. Mr Tan mentioned something very important: never use “donation”, and instead use “contribution”.

I blew my whistle signalling it was time for Colour Party. After Colour Party, Kai Fong and I with some help from cubs, we collected rocks and sticks to build a trail for those who had not done it.

The unit except for the Akela candidates, who planed and made the trail for the recruits and those who have not got their bronze arrow (the first major award) and the other part of the unit got another lecture by Mr Cheong. When I saw the faces of the recruits, I could tell they were having a good time. After that was the parents meeting for job week.
