Public Health Badge - Food Watch

How long can you leave cooked and uncooked food outside the fridge?

Can you use the same board to cut cooked and uncooked food? Why not?

What is the temperature of the "danger zone" for food?

These questions and more were asked and our cubs had no problems answering all of them.

They presented what they learnt in beautiful posters and cards.

And as a treat for their quick learning, they made themselves a nice healthy hotdog burger :)

Yummy !

Road Safety Awareness Course

On 6 Aug, 5 students from Temasek Junior College paid us a special visit. They came to share an important message on Road Safety and to coach our cubs how to cycle safely. They conducted a very informative classroom lesson covering cycling equipment & maintenance and traffic rules to cycle safely.

Quizzes were held to ensure our cubs understood the lesson before they were allowed to go 'on the road', which was a cycling course specially set up in the school grounds. Helmets and bicycles were kindly provided by our parent volunteers. The cubs were thrilled to test out their knowledge on cycling safely, and we are pleased that many passed the tests with flying colors.

Ride on !

Pizza Mania!

Always wanted to make your own pizza but didn't know how?

Well, our cubs found out exactly how pizzas were made, and baked their very own pizza!

First you knead the dough

Then you shape it nice and round

Next you spread the pasta sauce

And decorate with all your favourite ingredients

And after baking it, Yummy! You eat your very own delicious Pizza !

We had a wonderful time!

We'd love to do it again !

Ties that bind

A scout makes friends, establishes and maintains harmonious relations....and this was clearly evident at our Camp Seeonee 8...

Our alumni - Darren, Tun Shien, Arina and Justin

"A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart, and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words."

Our endearing Mr and Mrs Yip always support our annual campfire with his ukele and heart warming campfire songs

"A friend is one who believes in you when you have ceased to believe in yourself."

Here are our great scouting friends from Poi Ching School with our Uncle John

Our pioneer GS Scouts Jovan, Bryan, Marc & Hao Yang, now in JCs , pictured here with our VALs Lily and Chooi Pin

"Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.

Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.

Walk beside me and be my friend."

Our Water Adventure - Camp SeeOnee 8

Cub Scout Celebration @ Temasek Primary

At the kind invite by Temasek "Raccoons" Cub Scouts, we made our way to Temask Primary School on 21 May. We were there to participate in their "Cub Scout Celebration", a special event for cub scouts to meet other fellow cubs in friendly competition, to make new friends and have a good time of fun and games after the exams :)

And fun we had indeed !

We pulled and tugged with all our might ...

We tried our very best at the Sour Grapes event,

and displayed a strong "Don't give up spirit"

Our cubs bagged Silver for King's Throne event -

We learnt a new song "Count on Me" by Bruno Mars

and our rousing cheers won us Silver

All in All, we had a wonderful time.

Thanks Raccoons!

We'll love to come again next year!

A Journey through Time

Hi Cubs

Did you wonder what great creatures walked the Earth hundreds of millions of years ago ?
And why did they become extinct?

What life breathed on Earth millions of stars before men?
Lepidodendrons are the prehistoric equivalent of our trees today.

Did you know that humans only appeared some 100,000 years ago, an incredibly short time in the history of our planet.

And ferns were the one of the earliest land plants.

Well, we hope you had learnt much walking through the Evolution Garden and listening to our patient guides explain the evolution of life through the ages. Write down your thoughts on how the fiery planet that our world was in ancient times have transformed into the beautiful world we live in today.

A Scout makes friends for Forever

Hi Cubs,

Many of you remembered Toby fondly, who last visited us in 2008.

He taught us many fun games and songs from Germany.

We were very happy to see Toby in Singapore again last month.

Toby came a very long way to Singapore and he was just as excited and happy to spend time with us once again.

Toby sharing a new Train song and how to play a new game

Toby said this is how to pass the ball....

...it's all about teamwork

- More hands make work light

We'll Miss You, Toby!

Being a Scout is also a great way to make lasting friendships. Here is Ze Rui celebrating his birthday with great pals.

Happy Happy Birthday Ze Rui !
