Jamboree 2009 Photos

It's only been over a week since the Jamboree but we miss you all already! We hope everyone's having a safe and fun holiday. Explore the world, create, experiment, design. There's a lot to do when you have the right perspective!

Here's the photo montage of Troops 1, 2, and 3. As you know, we're currently recruiting for Troop 4 so tell your friends and for Science Scouts in Secondary school next year, look out for the Senior Science Scouts launch soon.

We hope you had fun!

To all Science Scouts who attended the Jamboree, we hope you had a great time counting calories and having educational fun! We missed those who could not come but we hope to see everyone next year for All Troop meetings as well as for the 2010 Jamboree (fingers crossed)!

Check the site now and then. Will be posting up photos probably by next week.

For Science Scouts in Troop 3, don't forget to sign up for Troop 4! Check here to see if you qualify and to find out what to do.

We have also opened registrations for Troop 4 so tell your family and friends about it!

Enjoy your school holidays, come visit Petrosains, and drop us an email now and then!

Bring A Water Bottle to the Jamboree!

In the interest of the environment, we will be minimising the use of mineral water bottles throughout the Jamboree so if you have a reusable water bottle, please do bring it! You'll earn points for being a Planet Protector!

Countdown to the Jamboree!

We have closed registrations for the 2nd Petrosains Science Scouts Jamboree! 40 Science Scouts will be attending with 8 facilitators. We're all geared up preparing for an exciting, engaging, and educational learning weekend.

Here are some reminders:

• Check-in: 10am on Saturday, November 21.
• Check-out: 2pm on Sunday, November 22.
• Don't forget to wear your jackets, it's compulsory.
• Bring enough clothes, pillow, something to sleep on, blanket, towel, toiletries, and most importantly the right attitude.
• Don't bring video games, or not needed valuables (except perhaps for a handphone if you have one).
  

Help us make it a Jamboree to remember! See you all this Saturday.

PS: If you are sick or unwell, do consider not attending in the interest of your own health and everyone else's. There will always be one next year!

Invitation to join Troop 4 in 2010!

Specially for Troop 3, we are inviting interested Science Scouts to apply to join Troop 4 in 2010! To be eligible, you must meet the following criteria:

• You need to be in Primary school next year. If you will be in Standard 6 in 2010, please consider carefully on whether or not you will be able to commit to attending the meetings.

We will only accept FIVE Science Scouts from Troop 3 to continue as active members in Troop 4. Our decision will be based on your attendance, commitment, and attitude that you have shown throughout this past year.

To apply, just answer the following question and send it to us by hand, fax, or email! Closing date will be 31 December 2009. The question is:

"Creatively and convincingly tell us why you should be selected to join Troop 4 of the Petrosains Science Scouts!"

Troop 3: Meeting 18: FAMILY DAY

Troop 3 has completed the last meeting of the year! Families and friends were invited to visit Petrosains but more importantly to check out the Troop 3 Science Fair held at Metre City. Eight groups demonstrated different aspects of science and technology in a fun, engaging way using props, illustrations, and experiments!

The Family Day and Science Fair is a showcase of the Science Scouts' year-long learning experience! Troop 3 definitely put on a great show with members being confident, knowledgeable, and ever-willing to share with visitors the demonstrations they have prepared!

Thanks must also be given to Science Scouts from Troops 1 and 2 who came to support and to help! It was a collaborative effort from facilitators, mentors, and Science Scouts from all troops to pull this off together!

With the successful end to Troop 3, what's next will be the 2nd Petrosains Science Scouts Jamboree! Be sure to send in your registration forms ASAP!

Enjoy the photos from Troop 3's Family Day and Science Fair!
