FA kit, Rahul

Rahul, bring the Fa kit on Tuesday, I could'nt take it on Friday
SMS me if you read this.

To boy scouts, I will post a 'FA kit uses and item list' in the near future. And the full scout detail will be given.
So expect it.

inform your parents.....NOW!

For more than 3 weeks there were no Saturday agendas, so on the 6th of February there will be one, but i am not officially announcing it here on the blog. Clue : food and fire

                  PARENTS'                           MEETING

Well put that aside first. What I want to tell you is to remind your parents' about the Parents Meeting on
Saturday (6th of February).
I told you this on the previous troop meeting, so don't come and say it was short notice.
This meeting is utmost important for the Seniors to explain the troop's activities and getting the support of your parents.
The meeting would most probably take place in the hall but I will confirm the venue in future posts.

Till then,
wait for the 'FOOD & FIRE'....

SQUARE LASHING and the counter hits' results

OK, since the counter has increased more than 60 hits in just 2 hours after i explained to all of you to visit this blog, i can conclude that there are many people who have read the stuff i post here...

here is today's piece of knowledge I'll share:
the square lashing ; step by step revealed

square lashing is used to tie two wood at 90 degrees at each other.
to start it, first make a manok (clove hitch) on one of the wood

it should look like this

now start lashing to the other wood

click the pic above 

REMEMBER SQUARE LASHING FORMS A SQUARE AS BELOW:

there is a step after you make the square, if you notice the pic above, there is a few circles of rope tightening the rope between the wood . this method is called FRAPPING and it secures your lashing so it will not move at all.
to end a square lashing make a manok again on the opposite side of the first manok.

and if you do this correctly, here's the result

................

Thursday's the day this week!

Boy scouts, this week there is sports house and sport practice so you wouldn't be able to make it on the Wednesday as planned.

  


However, the troop meeting will be held on the following day, Thursday.

Make sure you come as the attendance is compulsory as usual. There is more to learn and each troop meeting is important to ensure your progress in the troop. As a boy scout of VSG, I expect you to come for all meetings without excuses and unacceptable reasons.

Know your seniors and their names

During my last post, I was planning a guide to know the seniors for the form 1s who have missed them during meetings. Here are the Form 5s

From left:
SPS Chiang Ren Pei  (SPS of Guy Gibson)
SPS Sujev Kumar A/L Dev Kumar  (SPS of James Cook)

TL Muhammad Iqbal Lutfi bin Ramli
TL Ng Khai Hsuen

SPL Daniel Hafiz bin Kamaruddin  (SPL of James Cook)
SPL How Han Ming (SPL of Guy Gibson)

Form 2s and Form 1s, if you still hadn't known the Form 5s full names, now you have no reason as you can refer here.

Make sure you respect them and greet if you meet them during school periods.

no agenda.... but you have a task

Boy scouts, there will be no agenda or meeting this Saturday as it will be a schooling day.

I hope you will spend this time to know all the senior's FULL names and learn a thing or two about knots.

here's one example:


the reef knot

used for joining ropes of the same kind,
ending a bandage
and tying a parcel or box






you can find the seniors' and PLs names at http://victoriascoutgroup-2ndkl.blogspot.com/
I will post up a guide to knowing which name is to which senior soon.

WEDNESDAY ALERT : TROOP MEETING!

To the Form 2's and Form 1's, you are going to learn about the equipment's uses and how to use them. To the QMs,I expect you to already know this stuff.

Form 1s take this opportunity to gain the skills and knowledge as it WILL be needed during GTKYC and Campfire Preparation.

Till then, Be Prepared.
