Dear Wichita Scouts,
This post is mainly for the new Tenderfoots/sec 1s but
please carry on reading too so as to refresh your memory
as to expectations and etc.
Firstly, Everyone wishes the tenderfoots a warm welcome to
the Wichita Family.
What you are viewing now is the 'noticeblog'
of NAS Wichita scout troop.
We are unable to have our noticeboard up due to the
restrictions the school have given us due to PRIME.
So unfortunately our Previous Beautiful Noticeboard had been taken down
and modified into this blog (:
Secondly, i shall give my own personal opinion about scouting first.
What I have noticed over the past 3 years is that most people
join their CCAs with the attitude that
'CCA is only what i stay back in school to do.
Anytime after that im just myself. So whether i want
to come to my CCA is my own buisness.'
Scouting in a secondary school life is somewhat
DIFFERENT from
- Other CCAs
- Cub Scout Units.
Other CCAs
Scouting isn't just another CCA that
people just come to get CCA points to as to minus off from their L1R5/4
To me, Scouting is more of a passion.
I don't come for scouts just because i HAVE to.
but rather, I come for scouts because i WANT to.
Many of the Ex-NASians did not start out this way too.
Not everybody put scouts as their first choice.
In the current badge of Patrol Leaders Council, (seniors)
Some of them put CCAs like 'Badminton etc...' as their first choice.
And everyone did not start off with a fantastic interest for scouts.
However as time goes by,
we realised that Scouting actually offers more to what we
ever hoped for in a CCA.
Through scouting, we get to meet new friends.
From different classes, schools, ages. And even different countires.
Together we find our own interest,
and most importantly have fun through a strong and bonded relationship.
Nevertheless, Scouts is a uniformed group.
And therefore discipline in NAS wichita is extremely important.
Quick movement, ability to follow instructions,
alertness, standardization, teamwork, quick thinking,
initiative, leadership, cooperation, respect... etc
Are all vulnerable in scouting in NAS wichita.
We have so far maintained a fairly- well disciplined troop
as of compared to others.
There is always a time to do different things,
therefore this line is very important in Wichita scouting too:
"Once the meeting start, I'll be your Troop Leader.
Once the meeting ends, I'll be your friend."
I can also see that those reasons others give to attract
applicants to their CCA is ' train you for NS'
I can confirm plus chop garantee that NAS wichita gives
a BETTER training to everyone of its members compared to
anyone/any CCA that says those 4 bolded words.
You have my word (:
Furthermore, I have met people from other CCAs telling me that
"if i had a choice again, i'll choose scouts as my CCA."
Thats the thing that differentiates us from other CCAs,
People cant see the fun of scouting from the outside.
But they can only know its true meaning after they've joined it. (:
Cub Scout Units
Secondary School scouting is very different from primary school scouting.
Its not just about sitting around and singing songs and having
a game of 'captain ball' for every 3 hours.
Like i said, much is to be expected of a seondary school scout.
The most important is of course.... Discipline.
Secondly will be the activities wise.
Most sec1s have the misconception that scouting in secondary school
is also about singing songs and playing games.
However, scouting in sec school have a MORE variety of
activities such as ' Pioneering, Orienteering, Backwoodsman cooking,
Campcraft, Footdrills, Service' and many many others.
All of these activities are targetted at building up
your own personal character as a person,
Your scouting skills,
and of course your self-discipline in the outside world.
Many of our seniors have all left Ngee Ann Secondary
a better person in life with the help of Scouting in Wichita,
And to of course prepare you for your service to the country.
Here are some meeting essentials that you guys have to take note of
during your days as a scout in ngee ann.
-Scout Meeting days are on Wednesday and Fridays
-Meeting details will be posted on this blog.
-The venue in which we always fall in first is at
the 'Old Scout Den'. Or rather the area whr you guys sat down
in front of the glass cabinets at the arts atrium.
-When a water break is given, only drink water from the water cooler.
No buying of drinks is allowed.
-Please please please x100 do not wear your school uniform to scout meeting
-The Troop Leader is me, Guo Jingyang
-The Senior Patrol Leader is Chan Wai Hon.
-Tiger Patrol leader : Derrick Tan
-Panther Patrol leader : Wong Zheng Xun
-Eagle Patrol leader: Koh Dong Kun
-Owl Patrol leader: Justin Tay
-Rayfish Patrol leader: Kevin Tan
This are mainly the points that you need to know for your future scout meetings.
More details on Wednesday 11/2/2009 meeting will be posted on Monday night.
Please do frequently visit this blog in case of any
last minute/ die die situation updates.
Till next time, enjoy your weekend (:

Akan Datang for Feb
Dear Scouts and All,
Just a few updates from the Leaders:
1. XP Quest for Everyone to Level Up
I've discussed with the PLC about the programme to look out for in the next few weeks. Whilst our new Sec One brother Tenderfoots will stream in shortly this week (please give them your warmest welcome) the seniors shouldn't start to feel neglected. The PLC will be asking you what test(s) you are lacking to upgrade to the next Progress Scheme. This is so we can hopefully level up everyone before Founders Day where you can start wearing your uniforms proudly in front of your friends and teachers with More badges *grin*
So please give them your fullest support - take the initiative as a Patrol and tell them what tests you need. They'll work out the Training Schedule with you guys accordingly, and the Leaders will co-ordinate with them to test you on the required segments.
Our target date, naturally, will be by the Founders' Day Parade at school 20th Feb Friday.
2. Shopping @ SSA HQ
Before all the Sec Ones in Singapore crash in to Bishan Scout Shop to get their uniforms, the Leaders have managed to book a date and time for our Unit to go down to HQ.
Date: 18th Feb Wednesday
Time: 3pm - 6pm (to reach HQ at 4pm)
Mode of travel: Bus 59 outside school
I hope the APLs (or any other senior) can lead the Sec Ones down to HQ for this trip. Also, please use this opportunity to replenish any parts of your uniform that have now fallen into a horrid state e.g. faded woggles, SOCKS etc...
