2010

Dear Scouts,

The year 2010 is about to come. There are several things that I, as the TL, has realised throughout this year. Obviously, there are good and bad things. Lets start with the bad things first. The troop is usually not punctual and it refers to even when the meeting just starts and people are already late and during the meeting itself time extensions are frequently requested.

However, there are also good things. The entire PLC can see that everyone of you guys have to potential to be a good PL or even the TL of your batch. So, it is up to you guys to work hard, especially for the current Sec2s as it is almost time for us to step down. Currently, time is running out for you guys to prove yourselves to us so work and hard and good luck!:)

And also, I would like to thank all my PLs for assisting me throughout this year and not forgetting the leaders for having patience with us as a PLC. Also thanks to the APLC that the meetings were able to be successfully completed and also thanks to those members who constantly came( esp OWL PATROL).

The new year is coming and soon none of you guys will be sec1 juniors anymore. Please set a good example for your juniors ( Even if you are sec3 or 2 next year) by showing them the standard. By the way, there will be an Annual General Meeting on the 9 Jan 2010. It will be our first meeting. Further details will be released to you guys closer to the date. All Sec4 and 3 scouts(2010) please stay back after school on 4Jan for PLC. Thanks and enjoy your holidays, well whats left of it.(:

YIS,
Nigel

Sentosa Trip

Dear Scouts,

For those interested, there will be a trip to Sentosa on Wednesday, 16Dec. This is not an official meeting so no consent forms will be given but parental consent is still needed. Attire will be anything but keep in mind that we will be at Sentosa. The meeting place will be at Pasir Ris MRT at 0900 and we will go to Sentosa together. On a final note, the Girl Guides will be going and they are the ones organising this event.:) Reminder to all to do their holiday homework also. Please inform Alexus at 93209984 if you are going. Thanks.

YIS,
