Updates on Activities...

Hi crew,
I did a recce of the 2 ferry points last Tuesday and here's the updates.

West Coast Pier
  • West Coast Pier for Pulau Hantu
  • Nearest MRT is Clementi; located at the West Coast Park below NUS, beside S'pore Poly Marina. Secluded even if you take a bus, you have to walk quite a distance in to the ferry area.
  • Price is S$150 for 12pax per trip!

Marina South Pier

  • Marina Pier for Sisters' Island
  • Nearest MRT is Marina South; we have to use the other exit, on the Casino side of the AYE as the old exit towards the bus stop is gone due to construction. Its covered up. So we have to use the other exit out of the underground station to walk a distance to take the bus to Marina Pier.
  • Price is now hiked up to S$120 (from S$80) for 12pax per trip! If we want to do Island hopping to Kusu & St John's Island then to Sisters' Island, it would be S$150 for each boat of 12pax.
  • I suggest this & post-pone Pulau Hantu yet again!

Archery

  • Mr Raymond Tan, my Boys' Brigade friend, who's kind enough to conduct his Archery for us for free would not be available on November (remember its free for us so that period is where he earns a lot so we can't book him).
  • He'll be coming this Saturday to conduct the interesting Archery course combined with lifeskills of aiming your goals in life. O levels crew is invited to attend (He & I have conducted the course for EM3 PSLE pupils to focus before their PSLE exams).
  • It would be good to release some tension, but I would be very strict with your safety.
  • Its a 9am to 1pm course.

See you this Saturday at 9am SHARP (full U please), I'll update after the leaders' council meeting on Thursday night.

Guess who's this?


Greetings from the jedi,

Ok I know I've been back logging a lot of photographs. I'm burning the midnight oil for you guys here...so please STOP the begging man! Be a man, they're only photos!


For every photo that you / I take, I'll need to compress it so that it does not take up a lot of space in the blog. Or for my Flickr account, I need to choose the prefect photos or meaningful ones (as some of you can really take some nOnSensetiCal photos if I must say!). My account is free so I can only upload 100MB of photos per month. UNLess someone wants to pay for me? Troop / Crew fund??? hehehe


Anyway, make a guess of the scout doing his scout standard exploration test in 1990...walking along PIE, merging into TPE...right beside my current flat (but it was forest at that time lah)!!!

Donation DraW...

Hey all,

Please think about this event for a moment...when you were a scout, some of your collected money goes to ventures' activities (mainly ferry fair for initiation $$$)...its not fair but for the troop.


Now that our crew is bigger, isn't it better if each one of us at least sell a minimum of 1 booklet (which is S$10) to do our part. I mean it doesn't take much time to sell a booklet. There are 15 of you, we should at least make S$150. Plus mine, it may reach to S$300 or more as I 've already sold 13 booklets (AND its not my own money okAY). I have not started to buy yet.


It's also for the FCS which we had SILVER for last year. Your combined efforts will enable you to wear another badge for decoration! More sense of achievements, who doesn't want?


Next, can I have your support if the Archery be placed on 26th July (Sat)? Is it close to exams? It can be directed as an activity trigger for your exams as I've done it with the instructor on P6 PSLE pupils. If not, would you prefer after exams? If ok, then it will be held on the Saturday at Siglap.

What say you all?

Upcoming Activities

Heyo,

How your preparations for 'N'/ 'O' levels??? More activities coming up this July...

1. Service @ PoiChing (5 July 08)

2. VLC (12 July 08 to 13 July 08)
- Attendance is important for those who have been registered, its one part of the Venture Scout Standard, so yah, if you want to get that big badge on your left sleeve, than please attend it.

Btw, please try to sell all your Donation Draw tickets and get more tickets if you have done selling all!!! Activities such as Initiation needs a big amount of money, therefore, sell as much as can!!!

PS: Please bookmark this blog for future updates my dear ventures

Donation Draw...

Hi crew,
Please take the tickets from the teachers (especially those who are out from school). You know half of the collection goes back to us to fund our expensive venture activities...initiation is 1 of them.
How to go sailing? I asked, its S$4K for 20 pax for just a day lesson on a yacht where you'll learn the controls...S$8K for 2 days 1 night on the yacht for 20 pax...how??? ON?


am still waiting on archery, when I get it I hope the crew CAN come!

DPC 08 Open House & Campfire

Hi all,

Attendance is important as said by Azhari.

Date: 15 June 2008
Time: 6pm (you can leave by 8pm if you need to go)
Venue: East Spring Secondary School (Tampines St 34)
Attire: Full Scout Uniform

Note: I (RF) understand that some of you aren't coming for venturing due to O & N levels. But I think this event like campfires are minimal. The only effort needed is to wear the uniform & show your support for the crew / troop.

I believe the crew would be able to be smart & play your part as good sons, students to your teachers & also able to score points for your FCS in any little part that you can contribute.

Remember, parents & studies always first...then crew (NOT others :))

BUT I would understand if you are not able to come. I would appreciate if you could inform me personally. Arigato-gozaimas :)

June Training Camp 2008

Hey all,

June training camp will be held on the 30 May 08 to 2 June 08, therefore service ventures will be needed during the 4 days 3 nights camp. But the Tampines North Cub Scout camp will clash with the june training camp on the 30 May 08, so i am thinking that some ventures will stay in school to help out while the rest go to Tampines North, is that okay? Btw, please take note that the Tampines North Cub Scout Camp's dates have been changed to 29 May 08 to 30 May 08, so don't worry, it won't clash with your 'O' level MT papers. So, if anyone of you can't make it for the June Training Camp, please tell me, Otter or Azhari by 30 May 08 (Wednesday) because Raging Bat needs to know who is coming for the June Training Camp ASAP.

Lastly, please give your names to me, Otter or Azhari ASAP if you can't make it for the Tampines North Cub Scout Camp, its a project by our AVSL, so please support it!

I have sent out the camp programme to everyone via email, so please take a look at it. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. We will be involved only on the first day and the campfire (second day) of the camp, and we have to transfer the gong and some lashing ropes to Tampines North Pri Sch (details will be confirm on a later date).

2. Manjusri Campfire (28 June 08)

If you are unable to make it due to whatever reasons, please inform Azhari or Staunch Otter in advance, and those ventures still currently studying in Siglap Sec Sch, please take the consent form.
3. VLC, venture leadership course@Sarimbun (12 July 08 to 13 July 08, Sat & Sun)

For Crew 08: If you want to go, please inform Azhari once you see this because application is on a first come first serve basis (which means limited places only!!!). Don't miss this chance because its only the 2nd last one and last VLC this year. If you miss it, you have to wait till next year. My apologies for the bad timing but its always around this period!

For Crew 07: Service venture's application is open!!! Please inform Azhari if you are unable to make it for the camp, we will be helping out in games.

Please be reminded that I'm (Azhari) the camp chief for this year's VLC (thanks to a spike by Marlin). There will be other ventures from all round the island so please make me proud with your diligence & pride of the mighty White Stag Sea Ventures! Whoa!

4. Meridien Cub Scout Campfire (17 May 08)

Hi guys,
We're meeting to discuss the Bukit Timah recce, to plan for the cub hike which next week. I need all ventures to be present. Those who are going for the next week hike MUST be present.

No need to break flag like the rest, we use our own Japanese style can? But still full uniform. We start at 10am & finish at noon. Agree?

Hoi guys,

remember to select 5 station games (I like 1 of the D-camp games where they have to pour water into a cup)...remember the games must be for CCA leadership training!

1) The pupils are leaders of their CCAs & the age group range from 10 yrs old to 12 yrs old.

2) Some of them maybe last year's leaders so I hope not to repeat ALL the games.

3) Look at the pics of last year's games. You may ask Panda or Wombat.

If I can recall,

a) we played minesweeper (that's fun),

b) river crossing with chairs,

c) a pail of water endurance game,


d) memory game (Kim's game),

e) get the pail out of the poison river using a given rope.

My apologies for not knowing the names!!!
So meet me at my school at 830am sharp at the front gate in full u or else no enrey & no FOOD! We'll be doing the stations in the canteen this year. I try to get the number of pupils...should be around 25 to 30 pupils. We should have 1 hour plus to finish 5 stations so we can go home by 1pm. Then I need to be off to my Chingay paprade!!!


Oh yah, I need a representative for this Saturday's District Venture meeting at Greenview. Any senior crew want to go? I need at least 1 or maybe 2 lah. If Heron can't go, then I really need the crew representative. Kookabura & Grumbling Squirrel will host the meeting.


I'll call you guys about tomorrow's meeting, maybe I skip my night swim. I have a course in school til 5pm.

And take consent forms from Mr Ralph for goodness sake! Be responsible ventures can or not!

Yours in venturing,
Roving Ferret
