Henry Park Pelican (Cub) Scout

By Duty Senior Sixer Ku Zeqi We woke up at 6:30 a.m., although some of us were up even earlier to prepare. We changed into our full scout uniforms and gathered in a horseshoe formation, aiming to assemble by 6:45 a.m. Surprisingly, most of us were ready by 6:43 a.m. Next, the senior sixers led the color party, and then we lined up in Indian File. The leaders instructed us to pack everything into our bags, but unfortunately, many cubs didn't do so. The senior sixer had to collect the items left behind from all the groups, which took a good twenty minutes to complete. Afterward, we headed to the canteen for breakfast, which consisted of noodles with various toppings. Following breakfast, we participated in a mass cleanup, ensuring that every area we used was left cleaner than we used it. Some cubs focused on cleaning sinks while others gathered rubbish. Starting from one end of the canteen, each group lined up in Indian File and walked to the other end, picking up any litter ...

By Duty Senior Sixer Ang Yi Chen Waking up from our tents at 6:15 am, we brushed our teeth and changed into our full Scout uniforms. Forming a horseshoe, we carried out a sunrise party. We then ate noodles and drank hot chocolate for breakfast. We went to Kidzone 1 in Indian file, grabbed our bags, and headed to the lower ISH for inspection. As a Duty Senior Sixer, I had to complete my inspection first and then walk around to help others. I felt inspection was tedious as everyone had to lay out their things and repack them. We repeated the task about six times before we could pack within the short time given. Though the repeated packing and unpacking felt challenging, it was a great exercise in precision and teamwork. After that, we carried our bags back to Kidzone and changed into PE attire. I then gave the command to line up in Indian file. We went back to our groups and proceeded to the four stations manned by alumni and Scout leaders. There were three Sixes in one group, and we rot...

by Duty Senior Sixer Zac Loh One rainy Saturday, I was with my mom in the car, heading to school for the North Area Leadership Training Camp. As we approached the school, I saw a bus door open and Cub Scouts getting off. Seeing the new faces made me excited because I knew this camp would be very different. When I went into Kidzone 1, I saw students from different schools sitting in rows. When it was time, Kaa made an announcement. She called our names one by one, and we were sorted into groups for the three-day camp. Next, we formed a horseshoe and did the flag break. Then, we sat in Indian file and were assigned roles: 12 Sixers, 12 Assistant Sixers, and 3 Senior Sixers. I was the duty Senior Sixer for today. Our next tasks were to build tents for the night and complete four stations of tasks. We were exhausted by lunchtime, but our bento set was delicious. In the afternoon, we tackled another four stations. As dusk fell, we prepared for dinner. We learned how to start a fire and cook...
