Community Day

It was Community Day last Saturday.  Our cubs, armed with plastic bags, went around the neighbourhood to pick up litter, to do their bit in keeping Singapore clean. 



Although it was tiring work, the cubs enjoyed themselves walking and chatting as they cleared litter.  They felt appreciative of the cleaners who toil daily to keep Singapore clean.  It was indeed a morning well spent in keeping our community a cleaner and nicer place to live in :)

Akela Award Ceremony 2008


Our Akelas attended the Akela Award Presentation last Saturday at Hwa Chong Institution to receive their awards. The Guest-of-Honour was Mr Lee Pak Sing, Director, Culture & Education Programme, Singapore Youth Olympics Games Organising Committee.  
A total of 88 awards were presented to Akelas from 15 primary schools.  Of the 13 Akelas with Honours, we are very proud that 5 of them are Gongshangers. 
Congratulations again to all our Akelas!

Here are some pictures of the special event.
The MCs (Masters of Ceremony) were Arina and Samson.
