Collection of funds

The centenary scarf costs $3 and the name tag costs $3.50. Thus, the sec 3s will have to pay me $3 whereas the rest will pay me $6.50. The reason why you are paying it to me is because I have paid the cost for all of you in advance. Please pass the money to me next week.

Founder's Day

As most of you should know by now, tomorrow 22 Feb is founder's day. Held in commemoration of the birth of Baden Powell, all scouts world wide celebrate this special occasion.

As such, we will be having a ceremony in the morning for all scouts. Please meet under the clock tower by 6.45am in the morning tomorrow. Do note that attendance will be taken. Also note that the attire is full scout uniform with the white scarf. There will be no activity on that day.

Overnight

Hey guys here are the details for Overnight Camp as stated in the briefing earlier:
Duration: 19 Feb (1530 hrs) - 20 Feb (1600 hrs)
Location: Gym Hall Atrium, Raffles Institution
Venue: Meet at Gym Hall Atrium in full scout u (for the Sec 1s, PE kit)
Sec 3s please report earlier, preferably right after school to get the flagstaff up


Inspection
There will be inspection during the camp. Inspection, for those of you who don't know, is a way of checking contraband items at the start of the camp (for eg. antisocial items such as cards, ipods, handphones etc.) Another reason for inspection can also be for airing your items but that is not the purpose of inspection for this camp. For this inspection, a much longer time will be given but this inspection will focus more on quality than speed, unlike previous years. Either another sec 3 or I will be sending the template for inspection soon. Please remember to standardise the inspection format among the whole level, or at least, among the patrol. This time, your bags will need to be water-proofed. A way to water-proof your bag would be to use zip lock bags, or just put everything into a garbage bag and dump it into your bag.


Parent's Session
On Day 2, from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. (which is your dismissal time) will be Parent's Session, where your parents (if they are coming) will meet 01 and be introduced to 01 and answer any queries that your parents might have. There will also be a sharing of experiences (for eg. the Cambodia CIP trip)


Cooking Race
There will be cooking race during Overnight Camp. Cooking Race, for those of you who don't know yet, is a competition where we cook food given a set budget/ingredients and it will be judged by 4 criteria:
- Presentation/Creativity 25%
- Sufficiency 25%
- Taste 30%
- Hygiene 20%
(Please take note of the hygiene portion! Even if our food tastes nice, is sufficient for the patrol and is creative and nice-looking, if we poison the J1s we still will not get first place.)[And you'll get pumped]
The ingredients for the Cooking Race will be bought during the camp itself and no ingredients are to be brought to the camp. The patrols are required to bring their own condiments though. Those who do have the condiments would you please kindly bring them :) Food without condiments is like facebook without mousehunt. Bad analogy, but you get the point (hopefully).


~~~PACKLIST~~~
Full Scout Uniform
- Beret (which includes beret badge)
- Scarf
- Woggle (please try and make sure it's not faded)
- Scout shirt (which includes applets [sorry I don't know the correct spelling])

Condiments (salt, pepper, sugar.... etc)
Extra stuff to take note:
- Please label your scarf and beret (IMPORTANT) and belongings that you don't want to lose.
- Please make sure that you have your full scout uniform (see above). This is very important as the scout uniform is a uniform that is meant to be worn without the loss of any part of the uniform. Wearing the scout uniform with even one part missing, even the socks/shoes, is disrespecting the scout uniform. So please check that you have your full scout uniform. If you don't, then get the missing parts ASAP.
- Please prepare for inspection ASAP.

- Prepare for inspection (which includes water-proofing your bag)

Eagle Shirt



First of all, I need to thank Hawk for this great idea. Moving on, I believe it is great if eagle has a shirt, thus leading to the design. At the moment, nothing can be confirmed, but hopefully it would be polyester. Do not worry, this is just a draft and it would be much better with modification. Just tell me your opinions, and I would make the necessary changes.

Eagle Beats

Hey Eagle!

If all of you would take a look at the right side of the blog, you would realise that there is a playlist of songs. At the moment, there are only two songs- Bad Romance and Down. I am not adding more at the moment because I hope the songs added are ones that you would like to hear. So if there are any songs you like, please tell me via the chat, and I will add it to the playlist.

This is just a reminder for all of you who have not registered for the 01 Raffles forums. Please sign up as soon as possible, preferably by this weekend. The forums are intended for our chatting so if there are any queries whatsoever post it there. I hope all of you would participate regularly in the discussions and make the forum a lively place, kind of like a virtual den or something. As Kenneth said, normal forum rules apply and I really hope no one from eagle posts anything bad. Once again-sign up, take part and enjoy yourselves.

Patrol Cupboard decorations

As all of you might know by now, we would have to decorate our patrol cupboards with some posters or whatever we deem good looking or representative of the patrol. It would be great if anyone would like to design a banner or something. The decorations play a large role in patrol standings and I really hope that we can do it well.
Some suggestions:

-Seems logical that there should be a picture of an eagle.
-We could take pictures of the awesome eagle people.
-Patrol photo with whatever pose you might fancy(unless it is something "not very nice").

Whoever is interested please notify Eugene.
