All scouts do take note that for Friday's meeting, it will end at 2100 sharply. Dinner will be provided so no worries to fill your stomachs. Please read the following instructions firmly and thoroughly.

Just a few important announcements I MUST MAKE
-Attire: This coming Friday will be a important event that kicks off the start of Marist scouting in 2014, thus there should be NO one in inappropriate attire on the day itself. This includes all other meetings.

Full Scout Uniform REFERs to no loose threads, badges or upturned scarfs. Any scout who does not know how to tie their scarfs, please look for you PATROL LEADERs. 

CCA MAZE is where parents and foreign eyes are all judging you, thus attire wear must be in TIP TOP condition(First image:whether you hold yourself well in the uniform), and remember to bring your PT KIT 2 which will be sold to you this WEDNESDAY, should anyone need to purchase.
Ways to ensure that you do not forget to bring your attire
-)Pack 2 days before
-)Help to remind your scouting mates in school to wear FSU.
-)Do not leave or drop any of your attire anywhere, anytime.

It has come to my concern that the dropping of berets and scarfs have been occuring more frequently. This being said, I wish to point out that a scout dropped his beret outside the MRT Station. 

THEREFORE, i would like to reinforce on this point of being responsible of your own belongings. Every part of the uniform represents scouts be it the scarf, beret belt or uniform. It is utterly disgraceful to have this symbolical representations of scouts to be tarnished over the owners misuse or forgetfulness. 

However, i will let this off this time and there will NOT be a second.(Owner of the beret,  please come and look for me in the den on Wednesday)

-Eat more during your recess breaks, as you know the schedule is pretty tight for the CCA MAZE planning committee. AS for the Sec 4s, same goes to you, the structure for orientation campfire isnt a small task. Thus more energy is required, maybe even skipping lunch.

Lastly, I wish the campfire, CCA MAZE and planning committee all the best! May we do proud as a unit. ONE FOR ALL, ALL FOR ONE.

TO BE THE BEST THAT WE CAN BE!


Yours in SCOUTING,
Don Chee

A new year, a new start. This is the first meeting of the year, and even though there was a long break between the last meeting and this meeting, there should not be anyone late. Please also don the correct attire and ensure that there is no mistakes in them. Do not forget your scout socks and black shoes. If there is anyone in wrong attire without a valid reason, punishment will be given out accordingly.

Secondary 4s and APLs, do not forget your lanyards.
