Sec 3s there is NO need to build the flagpole before the start of meeting tomorrow, as such i expect all scouts to be falling-in ON TIME.

Sec 1s, do study hard for the knotting test, if you are unsure of how to tie any of the 5 WSB knots tested, please consult your PLs. The video of how to tie the last knot which was not taught on Wednesday's meeting can be found under the 'KNOTS' tab. All the best!

Yours in Scouting,

The common mistakes are the Scout Law (which has to be written word for word) and the names of the patrol.

The Scout Promise

On my honour,
I promise to do my best,
To do my duty to god and to the republic of Singapore
To help other people, and
To keep the Scout Law

The Scout Law

A Scout is to be trusted

A Scout is loyal

A Scout makes friends, establishes and maintains harmonious relations

A Scout is disciplined and considerate

A Scout has courage in all difficulties

Our Founder of the Scouting Movement is Lord (Robert) Baden Powell.

The Scout sign is the Scout 'salute'. The 3 Fingers standing straight is to represent the three parts of the scout promise, ‘to do my duty to god and to the Republic of Singapore’, ‘to help others’ and ‘to keep the scout law.’ Thumb over pinky signifies the bond that ties all scouts together and a reminder that the strong must always help the weak.

The Scout standards are the World Scout Badge, Scout Standard, Advance Scout Standard, First Class Scout and Chief Commissioner’s Award.

The patrols in Maris Stella Phantom Scout Troop are as follows:  Kingfisher, Eagle, Dove, Owl, Swift, Woodpecker and Kestrel.

Scouts shake hands with each other using their left hand, as it is closest to their heart. It shows sincerity and is viewed as a token of friendship.

Activities Scouts participate in are Pioneering, Knotting, Footdrill, Backwoodsman (and cooking) and Campcraft.

Yours in Scouting,
SPL Yeow Keng

Hi all,
  There will be a scout meeting this Wednesday, as announced during the last meeting, we will be implementing a series of changes to how we conduct meetings.
 
  Firstly, all activities will be conducted in Patrols, your patrol leaders will be sending you the planned agenda for each meeting as well as any additional information such as any extra attire to bring via your patrol Whatsapp Group (Please take the initiative to ask your PL for the upcoming activity if he has forgotten).
 
  Secondly, ALL Wednesday meetings will now contain a PT/Games sessions, the duration of this activity may vary but this activity will be carried out on all Wednesday meetings unless due to any external factors which will be informed beforehand.
 
  Lastly, meetings will now be a lot stricter. Now that the new Sec 1s will be coming in soon, every scout in the unit must uphold a certain level of discipline. The level of Discipline has been unsatisfactory in the past few meetings and I hope that it will improve in the upcoming meetings.

Scouts are reminded to be in the correct attire for meetings, please check the 'attire' tab for all the information needed about your attire, 100% correct attire will be expected for all meetings.

Yours-in-scouting,
Sunny Wu
