Observation and Founder's Day debrief

Hi Scouts,

53rd Founder's Day Commendation and observation

I will like to express my deepest gratitude to the Scouts who took the time and effort to come down for the 53rd Founder's Day and its rehearsal. Honestly as a spectator, I could not hear any sounds or see any disruption during the whole ceremony as all of you were moving the chairs. The soloist part was also executed perfectly. The ICs were also very committed and had done well to prepare all of you.
However there are still rooms for improvement. This includes the behavioral standard during and after Scouts. The discipline standard has to be kept high especially so when you are in School/ National Events. You have to remember that ultimately you are representing Scouts and also Maris Stella High. This goes out to all Scouts too that the discipline standard has to be kept at a high level. The Seniors can go easy and informal with you, but when it means business, you will have to draw the line. As the saying goes: 公私分明
Overall i felt that it was a job well done. Give a round of applause to yourself. Rest assured, CIP hours will be given to you.

Observations in past meetings

I have noticed that the Secondary 1s and 2s has been forging new brotherhood. This is an extremely good indication that all of you has truly bonded. One example is during last Wednesday meeting, I personally saw 2 Sec 1s supporting each other (putting hand around one another) when they were given water breaks. (i think it was patrol 1/5). Also when they were doing the knotting games, i saw quite a number of you encouraging helping each other. Encouragement given on the blog chatbox are also very heartening to see.
I also saw sec 1s starting to bond with elder brothers (sec 3s). Sec 1s are also starting to display much respect towards the elder brother of Sec 2s and 3s. This are good signs.
Though there might be some incident which begs to differ the points above, I do hope that more of this brotherhood interaction (Mutual respect and caring) do appear outside and during meetings. After all, the unit mission is to create an inclusive, supporting, and encouraging environment.

Have fun during meeting times, only then can you be more interested in Scouting all together and things can be done more efficiently.
Have a “我要学” rather than a “要我学” attitude.

Have a fun and enjoyable weekend, and good luck for you Common test!

Yours in Scouting,
