Post-camp Reflection

Dear All,

It's been about 3 weeks since the June Camp. To date, I have only received 2 reflection essays. While I did say during the camp that I don't want to set a deadline for the reflection, I am afraid I will need to set one now due to the poor response.

As such, you will have up to 27th June 6pm to send in your responses. I do advise you, however, to do it ASAP - the longer you wait, the more you forget, and the less sincere/genuine your reflections. So do yourself a favour and get it done right now!

Please ensure you send your reflections - original pieces only, no copying - to my Scouting mail account. Identify yourself, and state your class and patrol. Some pointers on what to write about:

1. what happened during the 4D3N

2. Your personal experiences

3. What did you learn?

4. How do you think you can improve?

5. Feedback about the camp and/or camp staff.

Have a good rest-of-the-holidays!

Finally, some personal tips for the camp ahead:

1. BE PREPARED. I cannot stress this enough. Come with an open mind, positive attitude and bright smile to make the best out of it.

2. Patrols will be assessed on a series of challenges during the camp. Prizes await the winners, and unmentionable horror awaits the unprepared! Come armed with your skills, your whole patrol (it helps to have a big patrol!), and your Scouting savvy.

3. You are strongly discouraged from being valuables into the camp. Handphones and wallets will be locked and secured by the teachers at the beginning of the camp to help you safeguard your belongings.
