Inspire: Falcon Scouts Group and Girl Guides From Anglican High School collaborated with Red Swastika Raptor Scouts Group and Brownies and conducted a learning camp for all students in the above mentioned groups. We aim to let our youth falcon scout members to see that learning is beyond academics, and to be more specific on contributing back to the society. That could be done by helping people around us. In that way, we are contributing in creating a better world not only for them, but for many people around us as well. With that in mind, we challenge and encourage our scout boys to think of ways to contribute to the society. They explored various methods, including charity drives and conducting values-in-action activities. Learn & Decide: While there are intentions to serve and contribute, the boys will also need to learn the importance of pre-planning and feasibility in terms of deciding the type of activities to be done. Teacher Leader was often engaged in discussions to ensure that our youth scout boys master the skills and technique required in planning an activity. Our scout boys have finally decided to help Cub Scouts from Red Swastika School in learning various scouting skills and methods. In that sense, not only do the boys contribute by nurturing the future batch of scout leaders, they are able to forge strong ties with them and train their leadership skills in guiding the younger ones as well. Do: Executing the project is not easy for our falcon scout boys. They have to encourage fellow "comrades" to be united as one when managing this project. They also have to explore on the ways to contact and present their ideas to the cub scouts leaders from Red Swastika School. Finally, they need to think of ways to engage their "target audience" (cub scouts and brownies in this case) to join the camp and allow them to learn meaningfully throughout the camp. As Scout Leaders, suitable advices were given at appropriate timings to ensure that they were well on track in the planning and execution of various assignments. There were times where our scout boys struggled in terms of planning of activities and logistical support, but through proper guidance and support, our boys are able to learn from their mistakes and progress from there on. Share: Another challenge our scout boys faced was how to communicate effectively with cub scouts throughout the camp. The cub scouts were often very lively and active, and have proved to be a great challenge for our boys to talk to them and ensure that the programme gets going according to their proposed time line. It is therefore important to remind them the importance of setting ground rules and keeping instructions short and clear so that they are able to catch and maintain the attention of the cub scouts. Another challenge will be on how should they teach those (cub scouts and brownies) who encountered difficulties in catching up with the pace of others within an activities itself. It is during these times where Scouts leaders remind them on the importance of having more "manpower" (in this case a few more scout boys on stand by) to specially "coach" those who are lagging behind. It is through such encounters that we as scout leaders firmly believe that methods such as adult support and learning by doing are so crucial in nurturing future leaders. It is also through this activity (Camp) that our scout boys and I gain that sense of satisfaction and achievement when others benefit from our actions. This allows us to firmly believe that we can exert ourselves to others in a positive manner and indeed in that sense creating a better world for everyone.
