Reviving the Scout Car Grand Prix
The Scout Car Grand Prix or as known as Soap Box
Derby is a pedal race which was first introduced by the Penang Free School B-P
Guild in 1969 . It was then taken over by the PFS Rover Scout Screw and the
Combined Scouts Council to inherit this event.

| Here's one of them ! |
In 1972 , over 30 scout groups and 14 guides
& rangers companies participated in this successful event. There, they've
manage to present 11 scouts cars which were engineered with only scrap
materials and spare parts of a bicycle. In some of cars, there were even up to
9 gears and I’m still wondering how on earth could they do that because it was
an astonishing achievement . In 1974 , the forth scout car grand prix took
place in Gurney Drive which attracted numerous crowds and tourist which made
this event very well known. That venue was the perfect spot due to the long
straight road with minimal traffic till Gurney Plaza was built. From there,
everything has changed .

| Most ingeniously built scout car |
However , after the year 2002 this prestigious
event was called to a halt . Why ? Dont bother asking me , Im still figuring
out what had happened. Some said , its all thanks to the the new Gurney Plaza .
Then recently , our new principal En Jalil Bin
Saad who's also an ex-free decided to revive the Soap Box Derby. He suggested
that this event will be held during Co-Curriculum day, if we don't have enough
participating schools. Few weeks back , Mr Lye Poh Chye from 1st Georgetown
South called all the representatives from each troop to the teacher's canteen
to discuss about this matter and have decided to have a workshop regarding how
to build this scout car . He even suggested that we should track back to the
ex-scouts who might still be having one of the cars to ease our burden. Not
forgetting , everyone here is welcomed to help us out as we dont have a blue
print or any idea how construct an awesome car .
Excited for this event? May this be the most anticipated activity for us scouts, sea scouts and also to the sister guides who MIGHT be reading this !

TTO and 6km/8km Journey
TTO and 6km/8km journey which was suppose to be held this Sunday will be postponed due to the very poor attendance. The dates for these activity will be posted in the near future and I hope this sickening problem will not repeat ever again before stern actions are taken on every single one .
Please do remember , if any activities held were to clash with your family event , I hope you guys will just sacrifice for once instead of just writing a pointless letter to excuse yourself. As the old says ,A team will always appreciate a great individual ifhe's willing to sacrifice for the group . By the way, these activities are only held once annually and Im pretty sure the troop isn't asking much from you guys. Last but not least , TUITIONS are not an excuse to relieve yourselves from any activities.
Signing out ,
Jason .

PCGHS dance (21st April 2012)

Sad to see that the choreographer himself couldnt make it for CGL's campfire due to his prefects duty .
Even though he couldnt make it , he still didnt let us down ! Instead , he ensure our dance is completed as promised . Thats the kind of scouts we need in the troop more !

PCGHS Campfire
Time doesn't wait as the troop has already participated 3 campfire & gatherings already .
For the annual PCGHS campfire which was held on 21st of April , 15 of our seniors scouts have participated and have put their very best effort into it .
Congratulations to them even though they've only managed to grab the 1st Runner up and Best Supporter trophy .
What can we expect ? There's approximately 10 participating schools and we got SECOND PLACING.
Moreover , the overall champions were MBS ROVERS which included BOY & GIRL Scouts . That's a hell of an advantage for them.
It seems to be a very unique pattern about our troop winning the trophies in this campfire as you can see the pattern here :
2008 - 2nd runner up
2009 - 1st runner up
2010 - Overall Champion
2011 - 2nd runner up
2012 - 1st runner up
2013 - Overall champion ??? I doubt that =P
To the upcoming leaders , please put your very best effort for your future despite the current condition of the troop is much poorer than other rival schools . Make a change and you'll definitely never regret for what you have done .
P/s : Someone from somewhere please flood the chatbox before all DOWN 20 ! Thanks =D
