Seaboree 2019

 ASEAN SEABOREE is one of the best camps I have ever attended in my scouting journey. Throughout this camp, I learned many new skills and made many new friends that I am still in contact with until now. This camp is an experience that I will never forget.






The countries participating in this camp included Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan, Bangladesh, and many others more .We were then assigned into 4 various subcamps. My subcamp was Royal Fortune. Since there was a lot of people we were then further split into 2 groups to make it easier to manage the activities.

During the camp scouts managed to participate in activities such as kayaking, row boating, sailing and scuba diving.




Us Participating in Row Boating



The theme of the camp was Sustainability, Education, and Adventure as such, we also participated in the Leave No Trace activity. This activity gave me the chance to see how dirty the water which made me appreciate people who keep it clean and motivates me to keep Singapore clean

Other than the Sea activities available, Seaboree also offered all the participants to interact with others around the campsite every night. Through this camp, I have made many friends from countries such as Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Taiwan.


It was a great experience as made a lot of new friends as well as learnt about their countries. I traded a lot and got scarfs and badges from other countries. But the last day was the best as we had a party in our room and played truth or dare which made us bond more. This camp was by far the camp I had the most fun in.




Friends That I have made.

 I learnt how to play Guzheng when I was P2 as our school had a program for students to learn how to play it at the start I thought it was very though as we had to pluck the wires to make a sound. But as they thought us more I learnt a lot and managed to pass the course. To pass the course my class had to do a performance and show the instructor that we knew how to play it. 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.

My overall proficiency badge attainment

Proficiency badges are on of the key elements in scouting as it displays what a scout has achieved. I started working on my proficiency badges as I thought it looked cool on the uniform. My PL told me to submit certificates to attain badges.  The badge that made the most impact was Civics as I learnt a lot about Singapore and I also learnt things like Lentor is part of Ang Mo Kio instead of Yio Chu Kang although  Lentor is closer to Yio Chu Kang. We also visited the supreme court as part of the component moreover, it was very enjoyable.  The badge I enjoy getting the most was world friendship as I interacted with people overseas and learnt about their country and what they enjoy. It was quite enjoyable as I made a new friend while doing it. Some other badges I attain is  Musician, Canoeist I, Boat puller I, First aider and Sailor I. I earned Sailor I and boat puller during seaboree where I learnt how to row a boat and sail along with other scouts. I fell that the proficiency badge sys
