Camp Challenge 2011!

Aafreen, Josephine, Shifana, Anu, Gayathiri, Renga, Christy and Edwyna went for the Camp Challenge from the 3rd June - 5th June. It was a 3D2N camp at Camp Christine.

On the early morning on 3rd June which marked the 1st day of the camp, we gathered in school and met Ms. Chin who was in-charge of us, with our heavy luggage and waited for the bus to arrive. We carried our poles and etc, on the bus and made our way to Camp Christine. It was definitely a long bus ride. After we reached Camp Christine, we settled down and had a briefing. The 1st day of the camp was basically pitching up our tent & making our gadgets.

On the 2nd day, we woke up at about 6am plus. We had our breakfast prepared by guides from another school. After washing up, we made our way to Botanical Garden. We were supposed to have a game of Amazing Race. However due to the heavy downpour, it was canceled. ): Miss. Goh awhile later, to take charge of us. :) So we headed back to Camp Christine and we had our activities indoor and also outdoor cooking. This outdoor cooking we did was very different from the one we usually do in school. We were suppose to create an 'oven' with a cardboard box and some aluminium foil! And later in the evening, we had quizzes on our knowledge on Guiding.

On the last day, Ms. Lio came to take charge of us. (: We did nothing much on the last day as the rain was rather heavy and no outdoor activities could be done. Around 2pm plus in the afternoon, we packed our stuffs & home sweet home! :D

I believe that the 8 of us definitely gained a lot of experience through this 3D2N camp. :) We learned how to do things in the proper Girl Guides way and even how to do outdoor cooking with just a cardboard box and aluminium foil!

More about Girl Guides

Girl Guides work together in Patrols. We elect our own Patrol Leaders and plan our own activities to eusure the total development of our girls.

The Guide Promise to us is very crucial and it is the pivot behind Girl Guiding:

I promise to do my best,
To do my duty to God,
To serve my country
and help other people,
and to keep the Guide Law


We also follow the 10 Guide Laws:
1. A Guide is loyal and can be trusted
2. A Guide is useful and helps others
