Monday

Dear Scouts,

This Monday, 30/11, all Sec2s please report in school at 8.15am as Venture Chandan needs help with the PLTC logistics which some of them belong to us. The PLC may not be going with you guys but we will meet you first in school and after that we have our own logistics to settle. And, only Sec 2s need to report and also please standardise your attire. I trust you guys can do it by yourself. Sorry, forgot to add, there will be no meeting on tuesday and wednesday due to the teachers being unable to make it. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

***ATTENTION*** Camp Gauntlet Pre-Camp Info

Dear Sec 2s,

All of you are kindly invited to the GAUNTLET camp, which is spread over 7D6N. The purpose of this camp is to sift out potential leaders for next batch's Patrol Leaders Council.

The activities in this camp will be many and varied. A key theme of the camp is to BE PREPARED. Hence, please the necessary items you will need for a camp. Pack smart and as light as possible. There will be a chance for you guys to wash your clothes during the camp itself so plan wisely.

Reporting Details:

5th Dec Saturday

0800h

Please report at the metal flag pole

I will need 2 volunteers to open the camp

Camp will officially end on 11th Dec Friday by 5pm. How early we end depends on how fast we finish our programme.

Things to do:

1. ensure there are adequate equipment (personal and store) for your training over the week

2. as a pre-camp "homework", plan a 2D1N menu (breakfast, lunch, dinner and breakfast) that is healthy and nutritious which is suitable for hikers on the move. This is a GROUP assignment, so the whole Sec 2 batch need only send me ONE copy. Submit this by 27 Nov 0800h at my email address.

3. pack your equipment wisely! (akan datang)

4. consent form from Mr Teo (akan datang)

Further details (e.g.: packing list, will be made available to you guys over this blog.
