Saturday

Ok... I was busy with other things, and totally forgot to update this blog.

Anyway, Saturday is as usual, a regular scout meeting, to build wooden structures to prepare for our annual campfire, which is a like the Scout unit's Bday.

Many Scouts and Girl guides from other schools will be attending it, So its really important if we are to uphold our unit's Reputation ( Many great people come from our school, for E.G. : Gurmit Singh, Benedict Goh, and the Scout Chief Commissioner - Nicholas Tang ).

My pioneering Skills have improved greatly.

I can tie stiff, solid knots and lashings now.

And Saturday was the first time I tried climbing up the structure, to tie some knots at the top.

Which help me realize that Climbing up wasn't scary at all. Its safe.

" If you trust the knots tied by you and the others, then you will not fear for the structures, collapsing" - Patrol Leader Bryan Ong

True.

Firstly, we brought the frames together... To form a Tower.

When the Supports are built onto it, we begin to tie the A-frames Together

A-frames are the poles which are diagonally supporting the whole structures.

And 2 of the poles can be seen from the side as a X symbol.

We start to climb up. This picture was taken, straight after I am done with my knots.

The person inside it, was Secondary 1 Scout, Michael, Also known as Muscle Man, due to his tremendous strength, and his competition against other Elder scouts, in the test of Might. He is seen climbing down the structure.

This is a Structure taken when I was still up on the structure. They were built by the Secondary 3s & 4s.
