Hours completed: 3hrs
Participants: Yi Wei, Yongwei, Andy

Today, the three sec 3s accompanied six sec 2s to the Spastic Children Association Singapore to teach the scouts there how to perform certain campcraft skills, in this case, we taught them campcraft.

First, the 9 of us were split up such that each of us had a buddy which we could teach the skills to.
We taught them, 5 out of the 8 basic knots. Thumbknot, slip knot, reef knot, clove hitch, figure of eight.
This task of teaching them was not easy, this is so as they were slower in learning the steps to tie the knots and also, some of them could not control their hand movements properly which resulted in them being unable to tie the knots quickly. But in the end, most of them managed to learn at least 4 out of the 5 knots. We also managed to gain valuable experience through the teaching of these mentally disabled children.
While teaching the children, we also could revise on the tying of various basic knots.

P.S. I LEARNT HOW TO TIE MONKEY FIST!!! CAN USE TO HUNT ANIMALS LIKE DONKEYS!!!!
