For those who are unaware, National
Patrol Camp is a HQ organized
competition camp(certainly the mother of all scouting competitions) that puts
the brightest, wittiest and most skillful scout troops to compete over a 5
day camp filled with games, camp-craft, survival challenges and lots
of mud! This competition is only held once every 2 to 3 years.
We have yet another achievement unlocked!
We have yet another achievement unlocked!
Through this tumultous
and nerve wrecking competition our own team of Marist Phantoms scouts
consisting of : Sean, Darren, Yong Sheng, Julius Lim, Jing Da, Julius Wong,
Owen, Kester and me. We managed to clinch the gold award. As the previous NPC
held in 2011 was a silver, we are honoured and delighted to bask in the gold
limelight once again!
It is through hard
work and dedication, not forgetting times where we were down and demoralised
that we managed to pull through! Once again good job to all!
If you were wondering
what we did during the camp, below will be some of the activities that we
competed in
1) Advanced and
competitive woodcraft pioneering!
We’re talking about
big tall structures that aren’t just built for your badgework, we’re
talking about titans
dressed to impress.
2) Outdoor survival, practical first aid,
challenge games and activities!
We were tested on our
theory knowledge, logical skills and team work! However with the loads of
pressure in the air, it was more like fighting against a zombie
apocalypse.
3) Artistic
campcraft!
If quadrapods and
A-frames bore you because they’re peanuts, wait till you get a load of
the fancy designs the
NPC Design Team have whipped out to impress everyone at this
years’ National Patrol
Camp 2013.
This is our campsite,
more photos will be uploaded! Stay tuned!
Yours in scouting,
