Reflection For ED Jamboree! :)

UPDATED WITH MORE PHOTOS! :)

Hey Guides! :)

East Division Jamboree was held on 30 June, Saturday.
It started bright and early at 8 in the morning. Guides from different schools gathered at Changkat Changi Secondary School. We even saw our friends from Anglican High that we met from international camp! :O

Our relationship with guides doesn't only stop with our school alone. 

Anglican Guides! 

We gathered in the parade square and spilt into our various activities, ranging from rockclimbing to bowling, and even snow city!

Snow City & Outdoor Cooking Group!

Rollerskating & Gadget Making Group!

Each guide was assigned two different activities to explore for the day!

We also helped out at the weaving booth, where we made string art using thread!
There were many designs to learn from, and there were many challenges.
We sat there for quite some time trying to get a hang of it, and it was not easy as the threads were quite confusing and misleading! :(

Completed String Art! :)

However, the Changkat Changi guides that taught us were very friendly and patient, and in the end, after we got the hang of it, we started exchanging experiences in our guiding lives! Its very interesting to see guides in another perspective :)

I guess string art teaches us to be patient and not give up even when things get tough or don't go your way. We threaded wrongly a number of times but we tried again and again. Once we understood it better, everything went more smoothly. We must try things with an open mind. If we tell ourselves it will be hard, it will naturally be more difficult than it actually seems. The power of a positive mind! :) 


Our guides were in charge of manning the floorball booth! We taught guides from different schools basic floorball skills, e.g. how to hold the stick, handling the ball, game rules. After they got the hang of it, they played a friendly match against each other! It was really exciting to see them have so much spirit. :O

Check Out Joey PS' floorball moves!!

Kaiying QM & Katty AQM!

Floorball teaches us what teamwork can accomplish. If everybody cooperates, everything will go smoothly. However, if there is dispute in the team, the opponents can easily find an opening to win! :(

More photos up ahead!

Before we start sliding at Snow City!

Indoor cooking..our fav!

Having fun around while waiting for our muffins to be ready..

Blueberry muffins!

Cooking Mee Rebus!

Time flies when you're having fun. It was four thirty when we gathered and could be dismissed.

With a final intro cheer, everyone went home. :)

I had lots of fun meeting other guides and sharing new experiences.
I hope everyone had great memories and benefitted greatly from this jamboree! :)
