Greetings from South Area Leadership Team.
In commemoration of Founder’s Day, the intention was to conduct unit South Area exploration treks, around the theme of “Knowing our Area, and our roots”.
With the current situation from the Covid-19, the hikes are being postponed until we are given clearance to proceed with our outdoor activities and learning journeys. As we are not able to engage in the physical exploration of our area, we would like to invite our youth to engage in a virtual exploration with their unit leaders, focusing on our area’s landmarks, icons and symbols. Unit leaders are encouraged to “walk the route” with their youth via googlemaps or other virtual means, and discuss points of interest and landmarks along the routes, to encourage youth to get to know landmarks of our South Area.
We invite interested youth to participate in a “Design your scout trek badge” competition, linked to their area exploration Trek. The youth are invited to create artwork that depicts their favourite south area landmark, and give a short write up of their choice of design. A panel of design/media will review these submissions, and the top three designs will be shortlisted as potential icons to incorporate for the scout trek badge.
Please refer to Annex A for the specifics for submission.
Annex B contains some of the routes we originally planned for the hike, which may be used for inspiration in the badge competition. Unit leaders are also welcomed to plan a path for their unit hike which can be completed at a later date (when we open up for the actual Founder’s Day Scout Trek).
Leaders are requested to register interested youth for the badge design competition via the MSDS portal at http://intranet.scout.org.sg by 30th April 2020 16th June 2020.
Entry submission deadline is 10th July 2020 5pm.
For any queries, please feel free to contact Mr Raikhan, Senior Executive Assistant at raikhan@scout.org.sg or 6259 2858.
We look forward for your active participation.
| Eligibility | All Cub Scouts All Scouts All Venture Scouts All Rover Scouts |

Submission to Mr Raikhan at SSA HQ or email it to raikhan@scout.org.sg

We have some routes planned, with suitable checkpoints aimed at exploration of the area. Units are invited to craft a route of their own, suitable difficulty and distance for their youth members (minimum distance 5km).
Update: Registration closing date extended to 16th June 2020 due to the COVID-19 situation.
