 In sec 2 camp our school sent us for a One star kayaking course. The course was 2 days. On the first day I was feeling nervous as I didn't know how to swim and was afraid to fall. But as time went on I was feeling more confident as the instructor thought us a lot of things. Moreover I saw a lot of my friends fall into the water and saw how they managed to get out. On day 2 we learnt how to recover if we our boat capsized. We also learnt how to help someone whose boat had capsized. Overall I learnt a lot from the course. This is my Kayaking One star Certification

This is my Guzheng Certification from P2. And when I joined scouts I realized there was a musician badge so I decided to use this certification to get it.

Life in the Philippines is really different from Singapore. Singapore is a bustling metropolis while the Philippines is more of a rural condition (from where I live). Education Education in the Philippines is really different from SG. SG follows the UK method of using P1 - P6 and Sec 1 - Sec 4, but PH follows the US method of using Kindergarten to Grade 12 Behavior in Philippines  In the Philippines, due to the lack of education, I usually see a lot of crime happening. That is why SG is much safer in the PH. But overall, the people are generally kind with great hospitality. Seriously, whenever I go to another country, I don't h

How the scout promise and law can be part of my life

Scout Promise and Law From the scout promise "I promise that I will do my best" I learnt that I should not give up when faced with an obstacle and instead face is bravely. I also leant to always give my best no matter what I do.  From the scout promise "To do my duty to God and Republic of Singapore" I learnt to not only care about myself but care about the progression of the country as well as remain religious. From the scout promise " To help other people" I learnt to be less self centered and care for other people. From the scout law "A scout is to be trusted" I learnt to trust people more as well as keep what they said to me private. From the scout law " A scout is loyal" I learnt not to ditch my friends and always help them no matter what. From the scout law "A scout makes friends, established and maintains harmonious relations" I also learnt to make new friends and maintain my relationships . From the scout law " A
