Proper Use of the Unit's Blog Chat box

Proper Use of the Unit's Blog Chat box

It has come to my notice that someone or some people have been misusing the chatbox to post hurtful remarks and untrue and absurd comments.

I am hereby kindly asking that person/ group of people to stop posting these remarks and comment on the chat box.

The existence of the chat box is to build a platform for Scouts/Ventures/Old boys to post any inquiries or any encouraging comments to the scout unit. Not to use it to scold other Scouts or to spam the chat box simply for one's entertainment.

By using other Scout's name to post these remarks is both insulting and disrespectful to that Scout and to the Scout unit. The Scout unit have been emphasizing on brotherhood and harmony within scouts. By posting such remarks, it is only trying to worsen relation within the Scout unit.

Be it that people who are posting such comments are Scout or non-Scout, I would like you to respect the Scout Unit and the Unit's mission of
"To create an inclusive, supporting, and encouraging environment for the development of physical and mental well-being"

If there is any unhappiness or feedbacks about the Scouts you wish to raise it up, kindly go to the Feedback box and feedback there.

Hope that such incidents would not happen again and I wish all Scouts to ignore such messages and raise it up to the PLs or SPLs about such incidents.
Together, lets make this blog a harmonious one!

*the chat box is only allowed for:
inquiries about Scout events or School Events
Encouragements
Compliments
Well Wishes
Positive remarks
Reminders

Thank you and i wish all good luck for your CA1 :D

Yours in Scouting,
Daryl

Post - Investiture

Hi fellow Scouts, hope all of you had a great time in camp learning new friends and certainly enjoyed the camp. This is only a peek view into what is coming in for you in the next few years into your Scouting life.

This camp was brought to you by the hard work of the Secondary 3s investiture camp committee. So do appreciate and thank the Sec 3s for making this camp a success. Though there might be areas where we can improve on, but I would want everyone to understand that everyone , especially your sec 3s, are learning, and is only through learning and trying can we better ourselves into the future.

Several issues for post investiture

1. All Sec 1 scouts please bring along your berets for this Wednesday meeting schedule ( unless your berets are yours after the investiture) Due to the time constrain earlier, we were not able to give all of you time to exchange each other beret.
(it does not matter if you had already peeled off the masking tape)

2. Sec 1 Scouts please take note: If you found any item (epullates, beret, scarf etc.) that does not belong to you, please bring it down to meeting on this coming Wednesday.

With that, i welcomed all our new Sec 1 Scouts into this big Marist Family.

Thank you.

Yours in Scouting,
Daryl
