Disney - Pixar's new movie UP

Hi Cubs!

Take a look at the trailer of this new great movie

Click here

Synopsis of Movie
“UP” is a comedic adventure starring a 78-year old retired balloon salesman named Carl Fredricksen, who spent his entire life dreaming of exploring the globe and experiencing life to its fullest. He finally does so when he ties thousands of balloons to his house and flies away to the wilds of South America.  However, by some twist of fate, he discovers an overly enthusiastic 8-year old "Wilderness Explorer" (Cub Scout) named Russell, who was stuck on his front porch.  Eventually, the pair go on adventures into a lost world through which Carl’s outlook of life was changed.

The movie opens in cinemas on 4 June 2009 and we are privileged that the main character, Russell, is a Cub Scout.  The Singapore Scouts Association has worked very closely with Disney Pixar to craft a 2-week programme which will be conducted over the course of the next few weeks before May, and upon completion of the second week's programme, you may submit entries to HQ in exchange for a limited edition Singapore Scouts - UP Badge.  Each entry submitted by a registered Cub Scout will be eligible for one badge.

This Saturday, please remember to bring your scissors, ruler and pencils. 

We will be making balloon sculptures and some handicrafts , for you to submit for the Singapore Scouts - UP badge.

So do come this Saturday. see You!

Hike @ Southern Ridges 4 Apr 09

Hi Cubs!

What did you see during the hike from Marang Trail to Bukit Chandu? 

Did you see the monkeys sitting on Henderson Waves and the snake at Hort Park? 

Did you hear the birds chirping along the Tree Top Walk?

Did you play music to the Dancing Plant and watch the little leaves move to the beat? 

Did you explore the various theme gardens at Hort Park?

Hope all of you had fun and enjoyed the 5km hike. 

It was a great achievement for the many young cubs who have just joined us.  

The hike was likely the longest walk they have ever done. Bravo!

Then what did you learn at Bukit Chandu? 

When did the Japanese invade Singapore?

Were you scared when you heard the sound of guns and bombs during the movie?

Now we know more about the brave Malay Regiment soldiers who valiantly fought in the Battle of Pasir Panjang, and learn about he values of courage, loyalty and honour of people who gave their lives to defending Singapore.

Share with your family and friends your experiences from this hike. Write it in your log book.

Here are some photos to remember our wonderful day out at Southern Ridges.
