IPC Knots Chart

After one year hiatus, Inter Patrol Competition is back on our schedule. This week, we will have the Knots Chart Competition.

Post AGM 2008

As the AGM 2008 draws to a close, the outgoing Executive Committee of the troop elected the next batch of leaders to carry the troop on their shoulders. After the next troop office bearers are announced, it was finally the time to announce the new group of leaders. It was an intensifying moment as the junior Patrol Leaders and Patrol Seconds are announced. Then , TL Andrew Ng chooses to voice out the new Troop Leader for the term 08/09 first. It was a awkward moment because the new TL is usually announced at the very last. Newly elected TL , Adrian Chuah gave his speech and then it was time for the ATL's to be chosen. First was Prob. ATL Ong Siew Chai. He too gave his long awaited speech. Finally it was time for the second ATL to be chosen. It was a moment of mixed emotions when Prob. VUL Chuan Teik Min was elected as the VUL for this term. It was a shocking and awful moment as he gave his speech. Right after that , Prob. VUL Chong Kam Zhern was announced as the second ATL . He too was in mixed emotions as he began his speech. He gave his sympathies to the one that should have deserved the post more than he did. The event was inevitable as it an emotional moment for some scouts in the troop. But whatever happens, the troop will stand strong and these scouts will always be united and their bonds will never be broken.

AGM 2008

The long awaited event has arrived , the Annual General Meeting 2008. On this auspicious day, the probationary leaders will be either promoted or demoted depending on their performance during ASSTC 2008. All scouts are to be present during AGM 2008. Those who fail to attend will be given warning or dismissal letters. Attendance is COMPULSORY for all scouts from Form 1 to 6. Details of the event are as follows :
Date : 9th of August 2008 (Saturday)
Time : 1300 hrs - 1530hrs / 1.00 p.m. to 3.30 p.m.
Venue : Be at the UMP at 1300 hrs. Then we proceed to the Lecture Hall

Patrol on duty : Beaver
All scouts are to be at the UMP by 12.50 p.m.

Transparent Canoe-Kayak

Introducing the transparent canoe-kayak!



This kayak-canoe hybrid has a transparent polymer hull that offers paddlers an underwater vista of aquatic wildlife and waterscapes unavailable in conventional boats. Seating two people, the sturdy canoe hull is made of the same durable material found in the cockpit canopies of supersonic fighter jets. Easy to maneuver, the wide canoe displaces a greater amount of water for more surface stability, and the paddlers sit lower to the deck, resulting in better balance. Adjustable seats allow paddlers of different heights to personalise their leg room. With a lightweight anodised aluminum frame, it can be easily stored or transported to and from the water. Includes two double-headed paddles, a water bailer, and two flotation devices.

What's more, it comes with a lifetime guarantee! Pricing? You've do dig deep to get one though. It will set you back as much as US$1,600! That's about RM5,000!!! I'll probably stick to my trusty old canoes, thank you very much!

ASSTC 2008

It's the middle of the year already. I'm sure everyone has been asking when is ASSTC going to be held. Well , your answers are here. I'm sure every patrol started their meetings already. This will be a busy month for all patrols . So , put in all your effort to help your patrol win the Best Overall trophy. Details of the camp are as follows.
Date : 1st-3rd of August 2008
Report In : 1500 hrs (1st)
Dismissal : 1600 hrs (3rd)
Venue : Penang Free School field
Attire : FSSU
Camp Fees : RM 25
Leaders , please plan your camp properly. Do not overspend. I wish you all good luck in your build-up to the camp.

Fewer Boy Scouts Not Only A PFS Dilemma

It's good to know that the Penang Free School scouts are not the only ones facing dwindling numbers in membership as portrayed by Bulbir Singh in a letter to The Star recently. In response, Jonathan Cheah has suggested reviving teachers' interest in scouting.

Shiang Yang 219th Kinta Open Troop Malaysian Book of Records 40m Tower

Another group of scouts have set a new record in the Malaysian Book of Records by constructing a 40m tower only with their bare hands without the use of any machinery. They were also the same people who built the 5-storey tower last year.

"Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing."

Troop Take Over 2008

One of the most anticipated event of the term is here. Troop Take Over is the time where probationary leaders and assistant leaders will be elected to lead the troop for the next term. They will be under strict evaluation under a period of 3 months or so. Then , the truly deserved ones will only be promoted to a permanent post.

Say What?!? Part 006

Say What?!? Part 006

Sometimes just looking at Simon Loh is enough to get a rush of endorphins. His silly face is good enough to make you laugh out loud, either with him or at him. This photo is another classic Simon Loh moment. In this sixth installment of the caption-making-just-for-fun-only what-you-call-it-thingy, put the words into this joker's mouth.

Fold Your Shirts In Two Seconds

The technique shown in this video would prove useful for Morning Inspection layouts. Think of all the time you could save and how nicely the shirts will be folded.



Isn't it time all of you scouts master this for upcoming camps?

PCGHS Campfire

PCGHS campfire was held on the 26 April 08. 15 senior and venture scouts attended the campfire. They went there with high hopes to win the best overall trophy. They gave their best performance for the year. The items that was performed are an advertisement , a sketch , 3 dances and 2 for singing , which comes to a total of 7 items. The most items came from our troop that night. The performance was good enough to grab the overall. Unfortunately, they only manage to get 3rd placing. Frustration and anger was clearly shown through all their faces. As some said that the result was 'unfair' and 'biased' , but nothing that they have said would change the result. TL Andrew Ng performed exceptionally well that night. He himself was left devastated and disappointed after the result was announced. They went there with the hunger for the best overall trophy but ended up far from their expectations. In their hearts , they knew they were champions , but they weren't rewarded so.

How To Make Fire Without Matches Or Lighter



Don't you think that's a really interesting concept? However, I don't think we'll be seeing this method being used by our sea scouts in any camps or Backwoodsman Cooking anytime soon. :P

Think You're Good With Chicken Wire?

Well, think again! Meet the master of chicken wires and his work of art.

Dame Edna Chicken Wire Sculpture by Ivan Lovatt

Albert Einstein Chicken Wire Sculpture by Ivan Lovatt

Amazing isn't it that he's making a living out of molding chicken wires. Any scout thinking of walking down the same path as him? :P

How To Tie The Ultimate Impossible Knot



Do you guys recognise the knots used in the video? It's none other than the Fisherman's knot.

The Fisherman's knot is a bend knot that can be almost impossible to untie. An even stronger knot than that is the double Fisherman's knot. So if you have a friend that's always pulling pranks on you, tie their shoelaces together with this knot. If you're really planning to go overboard with the prank, you may even consider the triple Fisherman's knot! :P

Say What?!? Part 005

Say What?!? Part 005

After being convincingly beaten by Daniel Phoon in the "most popular search query to land in 08online" match-up, former ATL Bernard Tan is making a comeback with this photo. In this fifth installment of the caption-making-just-for-fun-only what-you-call-it-thingy, put the words into this entau-wannabe.

Memoirs of a Sea Scout: Events Before The Camp

Before we continue to follow the misadventures of our favourite (some say imaginary) sea scout, let's recap on the events that have transpired since the last round-up.

We have realised by now that the surprise camp he attended which was the Leadership Training Camp (LTC) was not the camp that he ran away from. In Entry 012, he had just come back from the camp which was followed by Troop Takeover (TTO) and was all tired out. It was a camp that was totally not what he thought it was to be. Is it a good thing or a bad thing?

Member Blogs

Attention all former and current sea scouts!

With increasing adoption of blogs and the new media by the masses, it is only natural that our members will take up blogging too. For a matter of fact, we have many members who have embraced blogging. However, we have no official records of such member blogs except if they have left their blog URL in the small talk or comment section of this blog.

Of course, there would be those who still do not have blogs of their own. So, to encourage those who have not started their own blogs to start one and also to support those who already have their own to continue updating theirs, we are compiling the blogs of all our mighty sea scouts, both current and former.

If you would like your blog to be included in the list, just leave a comment of your name and your blog URL. It would be nice if you could link back to this blog although that is not a prerequisite for your blog to be listed. If you know of any member blogs yet to be included in the list, you can also leave a comment on behalf of them.

Remember, the main idea is to list as many member blogs as possible. It doesn't matter if it's hosted on Blogger, Wordpress, Xanga, Friendster or your own server, as long as you are or were a mighty sea scout of Penang Free School and have a blog of your own, we want to know about it.

Sggs Gathering

Attention all brothers of the sea scout group. There will be a gathering organised and held at St. George's Girls School. Details are as follows
Date : 12 April 2008
Time : 1000 hours to 1400 hours
Venue : St. George's Girls School
Attire : Full Sea Scout Uniform
Fee : RM15 (lunch and participation fee)
So , fellow first and second formers , please attend this gathering not because it is held annually but it is also a first time valuable experience for some of you especially the form 1's. This is a chance not to be missed. After this gathering , we will head back to school for our sports day D-formation (if you have no idea what this is , you will know soon). It will end at around 6. ATTENDANCE IS STRICTLY COMPULSORY FOR ALL FORM 1's , 2's, 3's and 4's. SEVERE ACTIONS WILL BE TAKEN IF ONE IS NOT TO ATTEND WITHOUT ANY CONSENT FROM THE TROOP LEADER.

Penang Free School Scouts In Peril

It is a horrible time to be a scout in Penang Free School. If what is reported in a recent top-level meeting between the school administrators is to be believed, the scouts in Penang Free School may as well just close shop and join the Boys Brigade or some other sissy organisation. Scouting in Penang Free School as we know it will cease to exist.

Upcoming Events

As we all know that these few months is a gathering season. To all form 1's , this are some events not to be missed as you can make new friends and gain some experience in your scouting life. These are some of the events taking place soon.
22/3/08 - MBS Gathering
12/4/08 - SGGS Gathering
Please be ready for these events and detail will soon be given. Try to make sure there isn't any plans during these days. Any changes will be informed as soon as possible.

Our school's first performance test ( UP1) will be on from Monday( 3/3/08) to Wednesday (5/3/08). You guys better study for your test, especially the form 4's and 5's.

Memoirs of a Sea Scout: Entry 020

The camp is tomorrow and we still have so many things to settle. Many things still need to be put together since we've worked on each part separately. It's going to be another long night tonight. We've not slept for the past few days, only taking very short naps now and then so we can complete our work.

Could we have avoided this situation if we had not taken our own sweet time preparing for the camp? Would it have made any difference if there weren't so many competitions? Would the situation be any better if we had more members? The reality is, it doesn't really matter. It is really up to us to make do with what we have.
