My scouting journey

  Yesterday I participated in NDP for the first time. I was very stressed as I had been practicing the drills for weeks and on the day itself I wanted to make sure I do not mess up my drills. However during the parade I felt very calm as I just took as another practice. Thankfully I did not mess up and was proud of myself. After the parade I felt very relived. I would like to take part in more parades and maybe take on different roles in the parade.

 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  

 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.

  World Friendship Proficiency Badge Carry out a study of your friend’s country and present to your patrol the difference in the way of life between that country and your own. I am researching with my friend, John, who is a citizen of the Philippines. I am going to discuss a few things with him regarding his country. How is life different in the Philippines? 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 do...

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.

  During my East Area SLC, we had a night walk in Yio Chu Kang cemetery as one of the night activities. However, this night walk was different from the other night walks I had in previous camps. There was no scarring or frightening, but it was just walking through the roads in the cemetery. At first, I thought that it was going to be a very boring experience as it was just walking, however when it was my turn to walk I saw other things than just the graveyards. I saw families still paying respects to their family members despite it being very late at that time. Although it was dark, I managed to look at the huge forested area that was also behind it. As I walked further down the trail, I also saw a few animals living by the trees and the forested areas such as some stray dogs and birds. This nigh twalk experience also helped me to relieve some of my stress about the camp as it was quite relaxing.  Nature is important to me because nature itself consists of many things that kee...
