ASS/FCS Hike Camp 16-17June

Hi scouts, on 16-17 June our scouts went for a ASS/FCS hike. The hike is a tiring one, it tested both our physical and mental strength, but all of us encouraged each other and endured it, in the end, completing the hike. Though this hike might be tough, it is a meaningful one as we learned new skills such as map reading and navigation.I hope more of you will join us in our next event!

A few additional expectations for the hike report:
Font requirements: Times New Roman, 12, line spacing 1.5, justified for all texts (excluding headings)
A personal reflection (2 pages max) about this hike. Do not give me a generic reflection, meaning that should I change the title of your hike reflection to "De:Xufto Camp Reflection", your reflection should not make sense.

Excessive Cash

Other Valuables

    The above list is by no means exhaustive, and other items may be similarly confiscated and returned upon discretion of the camp committee. 

This hike will not be physically and mentally easy, so be prepared when you attend this hike. It may be tough to do it alone, but together as a group, the hike becomes more bearable. 
It is encouraging to see Secondary 1 Scouts expressing interest for this hike! They have decided to do the difficult thing and it's something worth commending. 
A small reminder to bring your reply slip for the hike. Due to logistic issues, I will not be accepting anymore Scouts to join this hike even if they express interest. To summ everything up, I shall end with a quote that means a lot to me. 

"If you want to walk fast, walk alone. If you want to walk far, walk together."

Yours in Scouting,

Teo Xuda
