Today, we continued practicing our flagstaff. First we did some PT to make ourselves stronger so that we can be more efficent in tying the flagstaff, we did a few pull ups, and some log lifting.
Then we proceeded to tying the flagstaff, first, we practiced on the speed in which we tied the round lash. Then we did some pegging, we practiced how to aim the peg towards the center and how to adjust the angle of the peg. After about one hour of pegging, we stopped and went to tie round lash. Then we were taught how to tie the clove hitch on the poles.
After that we went to pitch the flagstaff, after i/2 and hour of effort, we managed to pitch up one.
After that we proceeded to the SOC area and id some exercises to further train our muscles. We did some pull ups and push ups.

Participants: Jeremy, Yi Wei, Azhri, Andy, Jun Han
Today, to prepare for the campcraft competition, we practiced tying the round lash for the flagstaff, and we corrected our previous mistakes when we tied the flagstaff with the help from our CI.
We also improved the quality of our lash, by increasing the tension in the lash, so that the knot would be more firm and can hold for a longer period of time.
After tying for 4hrs, we managed to attain a faster timing of 2.34 minutes.

3rd December 2007
Hours completed: 4hrs
Participants: Yi Wei, Azhri
In preparation for the upcoming campcraft competion in February next year, this campcraft training was orgainised. In the competition, 9 people are required to pitch a shelter, a gadget and a flagstaff.
First we were briefed on the information about the competion regarding the materials and the time we had. Then we were told that the sec 3s, us would be doing the flagstaff. So we gathered our materials and went to practise. We had decided to practice the tying of the round lash to tie 2 poles together.
We took 2 3m poles and 2 3.5m manila ham. Then we started tying, with our CI to time us. We practiced throughout the whole session, as we received tips from our CI and we managed to reach a timing of 2.38 mins to tie both poles together.

NYAA service
29 October 2007
Hrs completed: 4 hrs
Participants: Jervin, Jeremy, Yongwei, Azhri, Andy
Today we went to scas to teach the scouts there how to read a topo map. Firstly, sir Zhan Liang showed them a topo map of Singapore and he explained to them the features of a topo map and how to use it. He also taught them how to use the compass. After that we had a short game of orienteering on the third floor. After orienteering, we had a sing-along session. We sang songs like yesterday, chan mali chan, adiji and flea fly. At the end of the last session with them, their teacher presented sir Zhan Liang a small vase as a token of appreciation.
P.S. sorry for the late post.
