Over.....night.

Hello, the Cow is speaking. Listen. (more like read, but that kinda ruins the effect).

Anyway, overnight is over, and I hope that you guys are not too angsty about the way things turned out. For the sec 3s and 2s, there's nothing really much to say except that this is the first major event with me as PL (;D) and hopefully you won't find that I'm damn screwed up or something.

This camp is especially important for the sec 1s as your first camp in 01 and your official induction into 01 life. This is really something meaningful, and excuse the cliche, is really something that you will take with you for the rest of your time in 01.

I can't post pictures of overnight cos I'm too lazy I DROPPED MY BLARDY CAMERA AND NOW IT'S DAMN SCREWED UP AND I'M SUPER PISSED OFF, but if it ever gets fixed I will TRY to get it up so we can have an actual memory of this camp, and not just the nightmares from FrightNight (and day, and afternoon, and evening, and then afternooon again).

Now that we have the painfully emotional and awkward moments out of the way, lets move on to the fun stuff!

Cue Drumroll.

PLOGS

Our favourite past time, I know. For the sec 1s who don't know, plogs is short form for Patrol Logs, where you basically recount the activity's activities in a hopefully humourous and informative fashion..... screw it, I'm just kidding. In plogs you just crap damn a lot of nonsense to meet the word limit, but try and add some humour to it, stuff like funny things that happened, GL quotes etc. that also includes what happens during the act.

Note that the word limit is 1k (1000) for normal activities, 1.2k (1200) for saturday activities, and 1.5k (1500) per day for camps. And no, that's not the maximum. It's the absolute minimum.

 As of 28/2/11 at 10:00pm, we officially have 15 plogs not done! Here's the assignment of plogs. Please complete EVERYTHING by next wednesday's activity or I will start calling people. I really mean it, complete every single plog you are assigned, or our patrol is screwed.

RT prep - PAUL (original plog too short)

Batch Project Planning - Weng Kay

Goal Setting Act - Colin 

Upgrade Works - Timothy

Pass it on - Nicholas

PL Planned act - Paul

QM session - Weng Kay

Fouble - John

Structure Games - Nigel

Induction - Colin

Orientation (Rise of the SU) - Colin

Overnight Briefing - Andrew

VPA 1 - Tian Yi

Overnight Day 1 - Colin

Overnight Day 2 - Nigel

Job week briefing (part 5) - Nicholas

I will be sending out SMSes to remind you (TAKE PITY ON MY PHONE BILL) so please do make the effort to complete these. If you think you are too busy, just remember that everyone else is going through the same amount, if not more than what you are, so being busy isn't an excuse. I've already assigned a lot of these plogs earlier, and only four have been submitted so far. If anything, I've given myself the most amount of plogs to do, and if I can complete them, so can you. Remember that the deadline is next Wednesday, 9th March 2011. I will start calling people on Monday, 7th March.

Also, send me your job week routes by tomorrow, Tuesday 1st March 2011, so we can submit to the J1s on Wednesday. This is an example of the format that you need in your jobweek route, taken from my last year's route. Sec 1s remember that you only need to plan for day 2. AND ALSO INCLUDE YOUR ALTERNATE ROUTE.

Day 1

From RI, take MRT to Buangkok. Walk along Sengkang central to Blocks 203 to 204e. After covering these blocks, stop for lunch at any nearby convenient place, then cross Compassvale Road to cover blocks 205b to 206d. Then cross Compassvale Drive to cover as much of blocks 223a to 226d as possible.

 

Thank you for taking the time to read this freaking long post.

General Tips and Guides

- Waterproof all items. Place all clothing/equipment in Ziploc bags to waterproof your items. It should be airtight and waterproof such that if it was thrown in a swimming pool, your items can be recovered, dry and in good condition.

- Refer to the picture at the back for your inspection format. Inspection takes place at the start of the camp and the key to it is standardization. Focus on standardizing the location of items, as quality is paramount. Ensure rows are aligned.

- Make sure you have necessary uniform parts before the camp. Bring a hanger along as it’s important to make sure your uniform is not creased. (refer to picture at the back to see position of badges)

- Label your items so they won’t get misplaced.

- Rest well before the camp.

- Last but not least, do note that parts of the camp are meant for us to have fun and forge patrol bonds, and also at times, there is a need for seriousness, especially the investiture, where it is a solemn ceremonial event. Respect your scout uniform, respect others, and respect yourself.

That’s all for overnight camp’s details. Look forward to a great camp and see you there!
