A Tribute to the JC2 Ventures

Dear J2's,

On behalf of the J1 ventures, I want to thank you so much for your contribution to the 04 Venture Unit and the 04 Pelandok Group. Despite all your other commitments in your various schools, you guys never failed to rise to the occasion when the unit needed you the most. I also want to thank Jun How and Daniel Toh in particular for holding the unit together all these while. We wouldn't be what we are now without your guidance and motivation. So, we hope that all the J2's will continue to be involved in the 04 Pelandok Group by joining the 04 Rover Council and realising your full potential as scouts and as leaders. And lastly, good luck to all you guys for your A Levels and in your life. Thanks once again and God bless.
