Activity: Founders Day Celebration (Yishun District)
Location: Terror Sea Scouts Camp, Sembawang Park
It was the long awaited Founders Day Celebration again!
Extract from Wikipedia:
Worldwide in nearly all Scout associations, Founders' Day is celebrated on February 22, the birthday of Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell (born in 1857), the founder of Scouting, and coincidentally also of his wife Olave Baden-Powell (born in 1889).
We went over to meet up with some of the other schools from the Yishun District for a time of tough fun and "CheerUPs"!
Gathering in school, rehearsing for the Founder's Day recital
When we arrived, there were some fine examples for us to learn from!
Let me tell you a story...
Long time ago in an island afar, there lived a group of people mighty and strong!
Lord Powell and his troops were exploring the island when...
he came upon them and there was a confrontation...
they declared war on each other and decided to settle in the most civilized way... *Scissors, Paper, Stone!"
There were casualty on each side and much sacrifices were made...
The two leaders cried out to their Gods and asked for a way...
Then it dawn upon them:
"War is not the way... Make peace..."
They came together, put down their shield and offered the hand thats closest to the heart...
They exchange a left-hand shake.
Ladies and Gentleman that was how the left-hand shake came about.
Lets do a cheer for a great drama performed!!!
We took a long stroll over to the park and applied the skills we learn on how to operate a compass to participate in the games.
It was tremendous fun! So much so that we jumped over drains and forgot about the cemented paths at times. :D It was great having fellow cub scouts around to lend a helping hand!
One of the toughest game we had:
Doing the Duckwalk!
and we saw the CannonBall Tree
Counting the number of steps...
For some of us, it was a great experience playing the games,
For some of us, it was a trip of taking on greater responsibility, learning to take care of the fellow cub scouts.
It certainly was a tired but fun day.
