Afterwards, for those that are interested, we will be heading over to the Cooled Conservatories at Gardens by the Bay. It is free of charge and dinner will not be provided.

As such, please do not put your bags in 2H classroom. Instead, place them at the wall outside the scout den.

We will be announcing who will be going to the Parliament House during meeting tomorrow, thus please fall in as usual with your unit scarf and bring along your national scarf just in case.

Please also take note that there should not be anyone in improper attire. Scouts are to pass their consent forms for the campfires to your PLs or any Teacher-in-charge.

To the unit, especially to the sec 1s, please stop fidgeting (looking around, scratching and talking) during fall-in.

When the SPLs or anyone are greeting any teachers, SLs, ventures or old boys, and shouts ''skuad diam'', everyone should stop whatever they are doing and stand at attention. No one should be fidgeting until the person that is greeting gives the command 'scouts at ease'. Punishment will be meted out if anyone is caught fidgeting.

To the sec 4s that are going to take the ASS/FCS Footdrill Test:
-We can only make up to 3 mistakes each (both uniform + foot drill mistake added together).
-Each uniform mistake counts as a mistake during the test (such as faded woggle).
-Alignment counts as a mistake.
-All Scouts must stay throughout the whole ASS/FCS Footdrill. No Scout is allowed to leave before the end of the test.
-Any defiance towards the tester/commander would result in an immediate fail.

Please train before the test and if you need help, please ask around. Let us all do our best and pass the test together!

Yours-in-Scouting,
Dylan Ong
