Oneida Cubs Camp - June 07 / Monday, July 02, 2007
Dear Oneida Gang,
The camp help on 8th-10th June at the premises of East Spring Secondary was indeed a blast! My apologies dear cubs, for the late post as it took me some time to edit and create collages of your photos in action! I'm sure you boys have many stories to share and anecdotes to regale. All right, let the pictorial evidence do the talking!
Scene 1:Arrival (Click on the image for a bigger picture)
Us arriving at East Spring campsite with haversacks full of necessities and sleeping bags to boot! Some cubs looked as though they were going to camp for one month! Look at the enthusiasm on their faces!
Scene 2: At attention!(Click the image to view a larger picture)
Our Oneida cubs assembling in their lines, all ready to be 'initiated' into the camping tribe! The sixers did a good job in taking charge of the cubs! Look at those covetted proficiency badges! This proves that our cubs are indeed multi-talented!Scene 3:Tents (Click on the image to view a larger picture)
Okay, first things first, the cubs needed to set up their tents, which was going to be their 'home' for the next 2 nights, sans the parents! It was no joke trying to erect a tent in the hot sun, whatmore with the huge canvasses and adjoining poles! Despite the monumental task and the hodgepodge of tent equipment, the cubs did manage to have their tents up!
Scene4: Tents Up! (Click the image to view a larger picture)
Here we are with most of our tents all ready! We managed to set up the tent just in time before a huge downpour on Friday afternoon! The sense of satisfaction and accomplishment on the cubs' faces was indeed evident! Well done cubs! Thanks to our camp virtuoso, Mr Faris! And I believe, the bonding was simply sublime!
Scene 5: Fun Time! (Click on the image to view a larger picture)
Here are the cubs actively engaged in the camp activities. They played games like 'Pick-up-sticks' and 'Charades' and had a deluge of fun! I simply adore the graffiti art there! After that, we had our sumptous dinner.
Scene 6: Library Hike (Click on the image to view a larger picture)
After dinner, we went for our night walk. From East Spring Secondary, the cubs hiked all the way to the Tampines Regional Library. I was impressed that the cubs could walk in an orderly manner and had a high threshold of endurance despite the hike being a long one. At the library, the boys spent quality time reading. I'm sure Mr Teo would've been proud!
Okay, more pictures will be up soon! It was indeed an enjoyable moment in the cubs' scouting lives!
We, from ESPS would like to extend our special thanks to:
Mr Faris for spearheading the event.
Hasri, Suriana and Shidah for helping out immensely and giving continuous
support to the cubs.Mr Basheer Khan for allowing us to camp in the premises of East Spring Sec.
And all those who have helped in one way or another.
Till we meet at the next camp! Hurray for the ONEIDA juggernaut!
