All Scouts are reminded to bring stationery and paper to take down notes.
Do come down to help in organising the other Scouts who are attending De:xufto even if you are not free for the camp itself.

I believe most of you have heard nasty stories about De:xufto from your seniors, so much so that quite a number of you have raised your concern about not wanting to attend De:xufto. I strongly encourage all to attend it as it is a wonderful experience that will really stay in ur memory forever. Though of all you heard all the "wonderful" stories about dexufto from your seniors, but the only reason they can narrate those stories, are because of the memories they have got from the camp. Trust me, these camps are those that will stay in your memory for the rest of your life.

Thanks and have a great holiday :D

Yours in Scouting,
Daryl

National Patrol Camp 2011 Open House

Hi to all Scouts,

As many, if not all, of us would know, Phantom Scout Unit sent in a team, comprising of 8 Scouts, to represent us in the on-going National Patrol Camp (NPC). NPC is competition camp organized by Singapore Scouts Association and it's where Scout Units all over Singapore come together to pit their Scouting skills against each other and to form long-lasting friendships.

On this coming Sunday (27th Nov), there will be a Open House. We strongly encourage Scouts to head down to the campsite to take a look at the various structures. There will definitely be a number of impressive towers, bridges, and more. Do join us to gain exposure and to display our support and encouragement to our fellow Scouting brothers!

For more details, look for the event titled "National Patrol Camp 2011 OPEN HOUSE" in the "Maris Scouts 2516" Facebook group.

Yours-in-Scouting,
Eric
Scout Leader

Monday 28th November Scouts Meeting

Time: 1130 - 1830 hrs (have an early lunch before falling in)

Attire: PT kit 2 (Bring along Poncho)

This meeting will be meant for Scouts to help move the equipments from Sarimbun Campsite back to School. Do come down and help out your fellow brothers in need as after 5 days of camp, i believe all of them would be exhausted. Thus it will be of paramount help if you will be able to attend and help shift the equipments.

Thanks and have a great week ahead! Especially the NPC team, 海星童军加油!!!! :D
