Campfire @ Manjedel

The high temperatures during the day coupled with the dry air in Australia meant that the Forest Fire risk was set to "High". As such, we were not allowed to light an open fire. Plan B was exactly what we do in Singapore on a rainy day... the only difference is that instead of using nicely chopped wood which are almost identical in shape and size like we do in Singapore, Australian Scouts pick their firewood from the forest. No Kerosene!

Gangshows by the various sub-camps

It was indeed a fun-filled night of entertainment, song and dance led by Singaporean Ventures, Cub Scouts, Western Australian Scouters. There was even a special action song item led by our friends, guest Scouters from Sydney.

The campfire ended with the presentation of tokens of appreciation to the Australian Cub Scout Packs from the district who participated in the joint-activities today. The Chief Commissioner, Ms Sue Mitchell also presented a special Didgeridoo to Yip, on behalf of the Western Australia Scouts.
A didgeridoo is a wind instrument of the Indigenous Australians of northern Australia. It is sometimes described as a natural wooden trumpet or "drone pipe". It is usually cylindrical or conical in shape and can measure anywhere from 1.2 and 3 metres in length. Generally, the longer the instrument, the lower the pitch or key of the instrument.
