Sending Off Ceremony

Excitement filled the air as we stepped into the Multi-Purpose Hall at the HQ today. One could tell that everyone had been looking forward to the trip and was pretty much raring to go. Watch out, Nippon, here we come!

The day began with a Leaders' briefing that went on far too long. Everyone became very restless, but soon the programme kicked off with a last minute briefing on what we were to expect in Japan.

Then we had a long time of rehearsals for our items which we were to put up for international night. Before we knew it, the day was almost over. We received our Camporee Handbook, ID Tags, Luggage Tags (Ribbons) and best of all, the Contingent and Troop Badges!

The Guest of Honour was Deputy Chief Commissioner and International Commissioner, Mr Tan Cheng Kiong who presented the state and association flag to Mdm Madelene, the Contingent Leader.We're leaving on Tuesday 25 November 2008 from Changi Terminal 1. Feel free to contact us while we're away. We can be reached either through the chat box which will be up as soon as possible.
