Teen Scout Lanyard Award
This camp is quite different from another camp, it's a special camp that is eligible to hold a Teen Scout Lanyard Award. 88 teen scouts who are 17 in my area are eligible to join. The requirements for a teen scout to join this camp is they must attend to finish and pass all 5 must camp below :
1)Self-Success Camp (Lencana Jayadiri)2)Service Camp (Lencana Perkhidmatan)3)Activities Camp (Lencana Kegiatan)4)Skill Camp ( Lencana Kemahiran)5)Skill Camp ( Lencana Kemahiran)
In general, this camp is the combination of all camps above but the activity was shortened. For example, Expedition camp is an 80 KM expedition for teen scout and they must finish it in 4 days and 3 nights. But in this camp teen scout have to walk for 14 KM. Down below is the list of the checkpoint we had stopped for the expedition test :
- Jalan Reko Primary School
- Jalan Reko Secondary School
- Jalan Empat Primary School
- Surau Ar- Raudhah
- Jalan Tiga Secondary School
- Jalan Empat Secondary School (Campsite)
For your information, during the camp, there are 8 patrols and 4 patrols are for King's Scout Candidate which their test is much strict. So we tested with Marching test, First Aid knowledge test, Knots Knowledge test including Pioneering and lastly Expedition for physical test. We have to pass all those tests again so that we can be awarded the Teen Scout Lanyard Award. We also have to bring 5 logbooks of camps I stated and scout area leaders of Kajang are going to mark based on the scheme they have. We call all of these tests the Attitude Test.
On the well-arranged date, it is 2/2/2020, I was awarded the Teen Scout Lanyard Award by the chief scout of the country with their award. It feels like dream become granted because I have been dreaming to wear a lanyard and the best one is I hope to wear a Bushman's Tong if I become a King's Scout.
