We're days away to starting our
FIFTH Troop of the Petrosains Science Scouts this Saturday, March 26! The Troop Leaders, Qila, Azni, Yati, and Ying Ying are looking forward to welcoming all 30 members of Troop 5!
With 18 brand new meetings scheduled and an explosive Jamboree at the end of the year, Petrosains Science Scouts of
ALL TROOPS can look forward to another year of fun science, great friends, and lots of exciting learning.
A Reminder for Troop 5
Here's what you need to prepare for your first meeting this Saturday.
1.
Check-in time is from 9:30am - 10:00am. The doors to our lobby opens at 9:25am so if you're early, don't worry! We will open, just give us a few minutes. Your Troop Leaders and Senior Science Scouts will man a registration table. Your parents/guardians need to sign you in (and this applies for every meeting).
2.
Check-out time is from 1:15pm - 1:30pm. Parents and guardians can wait at the lobby and the Troop Leaders will lead the Science Scouts out. We need parents/guardians to sign you out before we let you go! Otherwise you'll be spending some time waiting with us (though we hope for not too long).
3. For the first meeting,
payments should be made for the program. Payment can be made in cash at our registration counter, or via credit card at our gift shop. Please note however that our gift shop only opens at 10am so payments by credit card can be made only when the gift shop opens.
4. We will be issuing your
Science Scouts jacket on the first meeting so you don't need to bring any other jackets! It can get cold in the centre though so if you're worried about freezing, do wear pants, not shorts! We will usually issue jackets that are a little loose and baggy because you'll grow into them soon enough. If you feel the size is inappropriate, you can change them at the 2nd meeting. No more changes will be allowed after that.
5. We provide a
snack at around 11:30am. Do be sure to have your breakfast before hand. There's also a water cooler if you don't want to bring your own water bottle.
6. We'll provide all Science Scouts with a
starter kit on the first meeting which will have among other things, a notebook and a pen. We use these often so be sure you have them with you (or any other notebook or pen!) during meetings.
7. Finally, parents and guardians are
not allowed entry into meetings! You can check the blog for photos and a summary afterwards. The Petrosains Science Scouts meetings are only for Science Scouts!
Be sure to download the Petrosains Science Scouts Handbook for the full list of guidelines.
