Good Scouts = Good in academics.....I broke the saying. So sad! Nevermind it the past. Went for Scouts and Ventures last Saturday after my return from ''MARS''! We all(ventures) were lectured/spoken to by Mr Chay for about 2.45 hrs.We were questioned about our commitment to scouting. And I actually do feel a bit guilty that I haven't really played my part as Venture Vice-Chairman. At times I do feel that I don't want the position but after this talk and hearing what had been said, I do cherish it and one to play my part. After all much have been gained from scouting and I cannot just simply break away. I cannot break away or leave. I will feel lost. Seriously!Scouts are always so concern about one another, their grades and well-being and always understanding...thats the X-factor! And of course I can't wait to go for a SCOUT CAMP THIS JUNE, I want to go! No matter how tired I am from my service trip, I will make it a point to go down. Yay, I am back!!!:)

___________________________________________________________________
Discussed:

-Commitment to the unit: Voting out those that are perpetually not turning up

-Threatening the role of Group Scout leader:
Without a venture programme, it equates to no venture meeting. When there is no venture
meeting, there is no group present, just scouts.

- Without a programme, ventures’ will assumed absent thought they are present for the meeting.

· Venture home meetings
· Submitting term grades to Mr Chay: Sec4s- to Joel Kwok, Grads- to Samuel leong
· Good Scouts= Good Academically

-Scouting Experience: SPIES- Which should be achieve in venturing

· Physical
· Intellectual
· Emotional
· Spiritual

- No more poor attendance
- Commitment is for at least 3 years and more
- Say I wanna be a leader and get trained to be one.
- Tell beforehand if there’s a need to leave early.
- Not all meeting must be held in school
