A Walk with Nature

It had been pouring the past week, and we were wondering if our hike to Labrador nature Reserve had to be postponed.  The weather finally cleared on Saturday morning, in time for our hike to Labrador Park:).  Hurray! 


Labrador Nature Reserve has a rich variety of flora and fauna. Our cubs were thrilled to discover squirrels scampering up trees, monitor lizards sliding into the mangroves, mudskippers barely visible on the shore and beautiful birds nesting in the trees.

Besides its rich biodiversity, this headland played a significant role in the history of Singapore during World War II. Remnants of the past like tunnels and a fort enabled our cubs to have an interactive learning experience of the British military rule during that era.


But this is no place for a cruise liner?!

Our cubs also had the pleasure of the company of Mr and Mrs John Dwyer from Sydney Australia.  They joined our hike at the invite of our unit leader Mr Yip.  Mr & Mrs Dwyer are adult leaders of young scouts in Sydney. They shared many interesting stories with our cubs and taught them songs and games played by their Australian scouts. Mr and Mrs Dwyer even presented our cubs with lovely badges, much to their immense delight.  Thank you for visiting us, Mr and Mrs Dwyer, we warmly welcome you to join us again in Singapore!


It was certainly an enriching walk with one of our last remaining nature reserves in Singapore.
