CCA fair



A few days ago we help an annual CCA Fair. However due to COVID-19 restrictions we had to make a lot of changes. We were force to set up simple booths with badges, scarves, tools, a mini pioneering structure, and a simple game. On top of the booths we prepared presentation slides which showed what scouting was about. It also showed an animated video of our unit that was made by some of our seniors. We are were not able to build a pioneering structure as we could not use the parade square. So we wanted to build a small gateway instead.

But we decided not too due to logistical issues such as or pole being too tall. So we decided to build a photo booth instead as one of the challenges was to take a picture with the CCA. However due to strong winds the structure fell before the class came. So we were forced to continue with the program without it.

Me showing the various pioneering structures.

The display showed many miniaturized pioneering  structure and some pictures. To show more variety I also showed some pictures from the Southern Cross Scout Instagram page. Although the sec 1s made a not of unnecessary remarks I decided to ignore them and interact with those who were actually interested.

I felt that the Sec 1s did not enjoy the booths but enjoyed the animated video. Although the day was not up to my expectation I felt satisfied as we got a lot of sec 1s saying they want to join scouts.

 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.
