Cub Scout Challenge

Good job, Raccoons! Winning 2 Gold, 3 Silver and 4 Bronze awards at the Cub Scout Challenge against more than 20 other schools is a credible showing for a relatively young Scout unit.

The P4 team of Eton, Darnell, Ben and Bryan did extremely well in winning Gold award in the Orienteering event despite participating in their first ever Scout competition. Congratulations also to the P5 team who won Gold award for Soccer through their two 1-0 victories.

Good effort by the Sixers - Derrick, Christian, Mervyn, Aaron and Shahris - in winning Silver award for their Roman Cannonball. Though they couldn't shoot their water bomb as far as the winning team, they can be proud of the fact that their construction was rock solid and also that they did everything on their own without outside help.

Here are the official results:

1) Orienteering - Gold (Eton, Darnell, Benjamin Chiew, Bryan)
2) Soccer - Gold (Ali, Ziyang, Zhijie, Suhail, Tze Yong, Arajun)
3) Roman Cannonball - Silver (Derrick, Christian, Mervyn, Aaron, Shahris)
4) Obstacle Race - Silver (Christian, Shawn, Guo Chin, Clifford)
5) Captain's Ball - Silver (Zhuo Yao, Sukhbir, Ezuandy, Ali, Zhijie)
6) Treasure Hunt - Bronze (Cassen, Benjamin Teo, Ryan, Joshua)
7) 3-2-1 Flagpole - Bronze (Derrick, Mervyn, Aaron, Shahris)
8) Sour Grapes - Bronze (Adrian, Shawn, Douglas, Benjamin Chiew, Jonathan, Ezuandy, Darnell, Jia Ren)
9) Speed Knot Tying - Bronze (Jia Ren, Zhuo Yao, Douglas)

Let's get ready for next year's competition!

Here are 2 websites which everyone should view in preparation for the National Cub Scout Challenge. We are taking part in 9 out of 10 competitive events. The only event we are not taking part in is Chariot Race because we are not familiar with it. But you should all be familiar with the other events, especially Sour Grapes!
