Venture Cord Hike July 25th-26th

On the 25th of July was the Venture Cord Hike in which both Geovenn and I participated in. We managed to finish the hike in relatively good time despite the fact it was our first attempt. The logs were submitted yesterday and surveying component is still in progress.

Our sincere thanks goes to our followers, Imran and Rovik, who endured the torrid and arduous journey following Geovenn and I respectively. The safe completion of this journey would not have been possible without the God's providence and protection throughout this hike, our families and Scout Group (leaders, alumni, ventures, scouts) for their guidance and unwavering support, the examiners’ (Mr. Alaric Leong, Mr. Leong Kai Xiang and others) who have made the effort to organize the hike for us and those who have helped in some way or another to make our participation and hopefully successful passing a reality.

Hi guys,

The South West Area Games Day was indeed a major success and turned out to be a fruitful event that benefited both the scouts and cub scouts from the area.

Thank You for putting in your hard work and effort to see the project to completion and let us not forget the scouters and venture scout leaders who have supported us all the way... And not to forget the scouts who turned up on the day to help us run the events...

SWAGD

Hey J1s! Tomorrow's the big day!!! Please meet in SJI at 6.45 AM (yes, this early) in your venture polo tee and scout pants (basically half u). Remember to bring all that you are supposed to bring for SWAGD!

Testimonials

Dear J2s, i'm betting on the fact that you'll check the zai venture blog within the next 2 weeks even though we are...

ROVERS!

Anyway, i'm proposing that we get our venture testimonials done by next week Saturday, 19th of July. Looking at the draft testimonials that we already have (emailed by ara), do a writeup for yourselves and then we'll all submit to Malcolm on the aforementioned Saturday for vetting and sprucing up.

I will collate a list of all the activities any of us did and post it here on the blog for reference. Please add on to the list whatever i may have missed.

But first... I need to know whether this proposal is viable.
So, what say you?! Fight for me and i will consider your oath fulfilled...

Stepping Up Ceremony 2008

The Stepping Up Ceremony on 5th July went on relatively well without a hitch (except the strangely jammed den door, which was unfortunately broken into). It was eventful and memorable as always, with the upswelling of emotion and back pats. The ventures congratulate the stepped up Sec 3s on their assisgned posts and wish them all the best in their future dealings with the unit.

To the Sec 4s, study hard for your O levels and we hope to see you guys back in Venturing soon.

In addition, the J1s would like to reiterate our thanks and appreciation to the J2s who have guided us and supported us in the ways open to them. We wish you guys all the best in the upcoming A levels and see you guys in Rovers soon.

Last but not least we would like to thank our venture leaders (including those to be and not to be); Malcolm, Yen Chee, June Ren, Boon Leong and Marcus; for their help and assistance throughout this year. We also wish our leaders (Mr Malcolm Tan, Mr Alphonsus Gregory, Marcus) who are attending the conference in Korea a safe and fruitful trip.

My fellow J1s let's live up to the various expectations laid on us, continuing with improved vigour to bring the venture unit to greater heights. See you guys soon.

P.S: Shannon its time to reliquish administrative privileges of the blog to Nicholas...

Important

Hi all,


Thought it was weird that no one has posted anything about tomorrow's major events at all. Please note that the Stepping-Up Ceremony for the batch 2008/2009 is tomorrow. At the same time, we would also be having the Stepping-Up of the JC1s into their new ExCo positions. Moreover, the Venture AGM is after the ceremony.

So please bring along your uniform with your Frank Sands Award badge sewn on and all J1s are to meet at 9 am for an outing and pressing matters.

Till then, just would like to thank the J2s for their leadership so far
