Been a while...fatherhood is lots of fun!
Anyway, below are the details of the KL exchange trip for the 6 ventures;
1. Day 1: Depart for
2. Day 2: Unit Visit (Indoor and Outdoor activities)
3. Day 3: Campfire Night (Cultural Exchange, campfire)
4. Day 4: Experience
5. Day 5: Depart for
For me, Otter & Yu Heng, we join them on Monday & Thursday nights & Friday. The other time we'll be in Genting Highlands. Please bring Full Uniform! This is our programme;
- (Optional) Send crew off at Changi Airport @ 0530hrs. Then we leave for our (about 6hours) road trip to KL.
- Day 1: Meet contingent at hostel after we book into our 6 Star hotel (www.hotelmaya.com.my/default.aspx)
- Day 2: We say temporary good byes to our crew as we head to Genting Highlands First World Hotel. Then fun, laughter & cool temperatures.
- Day 3: Genting fun. But at night we'll head down to KL to the hosting Scout unit school for campfire, Yay!
- Day 4: We try to catch our remaining crew before they leave for KL shopping OR we just meet them halfway (if we wake up late in Genting!). We check into Hotel Maya again.
- Day 5: We'll follow the contingent bus to Malaysia Scout HQ & shop. MUST buy scout souvenirs!!! Then when they leave for home, we'll take our slow journey back to SG. Another 6 hours :0 (I don't know if my grown up, active son can take it!!!!!)
Bon Voyage!
Next, Venture camp is postponed to 8th to 10th January 2010, mainly due to inavailability of Siglap teachers (at least 1 is required to be present at any activity). It is compulsory for all Sec 4 scouts (Bernard & gang) & all '09 crew ventures to attend.
Next year's VLC will be special as there was none this year. Special because I'll be sending 2 crews instead of the usual 1 crew, & the 2010 VLC will be something extraordinary (unlike past years). I'll be looking forward to it, so should you. Venture Leadership Course is an important step in your venturing years.
That's all for now...
