Campcraft Skills and Adventurous Journey Prelimnary Training Journal Entry

19 July 2007
Hours completed: 1.5 hours
Participants: Andy, Samuel, Zhi Yang, Aslam, Yock Siong, Walter

To prepare for the adventure training camp(atc) next month, we learned the basics of pitching a tent today, taught by senior Jia Wei. He taught us the three different sheets of a tent:

Ground sheet- The sheet that is put on the ground in the tent.

Inner sheet- The sheet that forms the shape of the tent.

Outer sheet- The sheet that prevents rain from seeping into the tent.

We were also thought the length of twine we should use, the knots that we tie to the tent sheets and how we should peg.

Campcraft training and CI meeting on thursday after ROD training

There will be a campcraft training and a meeting with the CIs after ROD training on thursday as today's training was cancelled. Please be prepared to stay back until as late as 7.30p.m.

Money collection for ROD

Please bring $5 with you tomorrow as i will collect it to pay for the things that we need for ROD. To ensure that we complete the collection faster, class reps are appointed to help spread this information and collect the money from their classmates. The class reps are: Jeremy(3A), Yongwei(3B and 3C), Junhan(3D and 3E), Azhri(3G), Andy(3H and 3I) and Aslam(3J). Some class reps are in charge of 2 classes as there are only a few people in their class. The class rep system will also be used to spread information in future for this year and next year.
