Important Updates for Camp
Hello all!
Here are some important reminders for you all for the camp!
Reporting for Camp
All Guides are to report at 8am on Day 1 (9th Dec) at the Canteen Area, with the attire for that day and with your Patrol Identity on. You are also suggested to meet up at an earlier timing to put your baggages accordingly:
Sub-camp 1: Class 314, S1-04
Sub-camp 2: Class 402, S1-05
Patrol Leaders are to collect all the EZ Link Cards in their patrol, including Sec 3s, and bundle them up in a rubber band. Prepare a slip of paper with your Patrol name and number and name to label the bundle.
Food items that needs to be refrigerated for outdoor cooking are to be brought up to the kitchen at 7.30am. The Outdoor Cooking ICs will meet you all there to put the items in. Your plastic bags are also to be labelled with your Patrol name and number as well.
Twigs and Punk are to be placed neatly outside the Guide Store.
At 8am sharp, Guides are to fall in in their Patrols at the canteen area for attendance-taking with their First Aid Kits and individual E-call lists. Camp Briefing will then commence. Everyone is also to prepare their stationary to take down notes. We will be giving out the Camp Booklets and collecting the EZ Link cards by patrol. Patrol logbooks and CDs for the Sub-camp campfire item are also to be handed up.
Camp Booklets are to be placed in the patrol scarf along with either a pen or a pencil at all times.
Attire for Camp
- You will have to come to school with NY Skirt and leave school with the skirt on.
- Take note that the bermudas that are to be worn during Wide Game are to be Dark-coloured (either dark blue or black), and are to be knee-length. Only simple patterns are allowed.
- Also, NY socks are to be worn on the 1st and last day of the camp. White socks can be worn on Day 2-3.
- Track/Sports shoes are allowed during camp. However, you will have to be in white shoes and socks for footdrill.
- We have stated that you bring 6 Sets of clothing in the Packing List. 4 of these sets refer to the attire worn every day, while the 5th set of attire refers to the Dark-coloured shirt and shorts (which does not need to be school-based) for Water Games, and the 6th will be the set of clothes to be changed into after the activity. This last set is optional as you can change back to any other school-based shirt that you have brought as the attire after water games. Guides are also reminded to bring extra undergarments to change into after Water Games.
Disciplinary measures will be taken accordingly if there are to be any attire mistakes.
Lastly, don't forget to enjoy yourselves throughout this camp! The Sec 3s have indeed put in a lot of effort just for you, so take this opportunity to Take Flight, Soar and Reach!
All the best!
Lots of love,
AMMPlified!
Your CCs and ACCs

A short note from your has-been CLs & ACLs
Hey Guides! (:
How have your holidays been so far?
We are already missing all of you; hopefully everyone's enjoying yourselves during your long-deserved break (:
Anyway, here are some waaaaay overdue photos from Sports Fiesta and Farewell...
ENJOY :D
PS, more photos will be uploaded at a later date (:
Sports Fiesta! '09
Farewell'09
A huuuge thank you to all of you for the awesome farewell! Especially to the Sec 3s for all the planning and hard work (: Now that the Sec 3 batch has officially taken over, we hope all of you will continue to learn and grow together. Respect your seniors and take good care of your juniors.
All of you will have new roles in the company next year- Sec 1s, you will no longer be the youngest in the company; show love to your juniors as your seniors have showed you. Sec 2s, you will be in the Upper Sec next year; workload will increase, you'll need to adapt to your new classes.. Through all the hustle and bustle, we hope you'll lead your juniors well and take on a much more pro-active role in the company as a batch (:
Sec 3s, the responsibility of leading the company now lies on you. There will be challenges ahead, but we hope that you will all learn to support each other's weaknesses with your strengths and grow together as a batch (: Be good role models for the rest of the company to follow and instill discipline and respect within Nanyang Guides. We believe in you. :)
It's just goodnight and not goodbye;
The Sec 4s will come back and visit as and when we can. (:
Thank you for the memories, Nanyang Guides.
Love Always,
Roosterice.

Second row (FCs '09) Xiaoen, Sarah, HuiEr, Lingxin, Chinwen
Front row (FCs '10) Michelle, Sihui, Pingzheng, Meishan, Aurelia
A job well done to all the Sec 3s! Every one of you put in your best effort yesterday, and your performance at footdrill yesterday was the best the FCs have ever seen! Keep up the standards in your batch, remember all the solid, single bangs you've delivered, work hard as one squad and to set a good example for the entire company to follow, and do support your batchmates who will be taking on the role of FCs.
We would like to commend the Sec 2s as well, you stood under the sweltering heat and persevered through the footdrill session. Many new commands were taught to you yesterday, make effort to continually practise and remember them! You will be Sec 3s soon, we hope that the standard of your squad will be maintained and improved. Remember that footdrill is about self-discipline and unity; work on your rapport with one another, by practising together and learning through mistakes.
To the new FCs, have confidence in yourselves, gain the respect of the squad. A footdrill commander needs to be sensitive to the needs and ability of her squad, only then can she push the squad to stretch to their fullest potential and aim for even higher standards.
A Footdrill Commander should not merely be well-versed in footdrill commands, have a loud voice, but she should also have..
1. A decisive and steady attitude, constantly adaptable to unique circumstances.
2. A sensitive heart, to put herself in the shoes of the squad and never bask in authority alone.
3. A discerning mind, to be able to identify strengths and weaknesses of the squad and help the squad improve.
We believe that you have the potential and capacity to do so; give it your best and don't be afraid.
The squad is one, you are one with the squad.
FCs 2009

An updated note to all of you...
Hey everyone! (:
This is an updated version of the previous post (a note to all of you...).
CCA will be resuming next week, but as for whether FC selection will be next week or not, the Guiders are still in the midst of discussing and finalizing the date of the test. The date of FC selection test is not confirmed and we will update you once we've finalized all details. Sec 2s and 3s need not leave a tag regarding whether you are able to make it for FC selection next Tuesday, as it isn't confirmed yet.
Meanwhile, just check the company website regularly for any updates!
With love,
Your CLs and ACLs (:

A note to all of you...
Hello, everyone! (:
It was announced that CCA will resume next week;
The Sec 3s will be reshuffling the programmes for our CCA schedule this term, when they discuss it during PLC (Patrol Leaders' Council, where the Sec 4s (in this case, the Sec 3s, since they're taking over CCA sessions this semester onwards) will meet once a week before CCA sessions to plan the programmes) (a lot of thought and hard work goes into planning the CCA sessions!)
Details and programmes will be finalised, before updating everyone again, so check back regularly for updates! (:
For the FC selection test, the FCs will be discussing and finalising the details before updating all of you again. Tentatively, the Sec 2s & 3s will need to be present, and it will be on the coming Tuesday, 21st July '09.
In the meantime, can the Sec 2s & 3s please check your schedules and leave a tag on the tagboard if you can't make it on Tuesday? State the reason as well. Please do prioritise and try to make it for the footdrill session, cos you'll be missing out on quite a lot if you're absent!
As for now, still do eat your fruits and veggies regularly and stay healthy yes! (: The flu might be subsiding, but we should still remain vigilant and Be Prepared (; Start work on your contribution for "What Nanyang Guides means to me" if you haven't done so! Everyone in the company is taking part in this mini-competition! Be creative and let your artistic flair flare!
Hopefully school's still manageable for every one of you! Here's a JIAYOU to all of you, keep goin'! :D Oh yes, and very important. Shoutout from the entire of Nanyang Guides to Xinhui, all the best for Council elections!! The company's behind you all the way! <3
That's about it for now, check back for updates and photos!
Cheerios,
Your CLs & ACLs (:
