Note:

• CCA experience will be conducted on 21st and 23rd January 2015 from 3pm-5pm. You guys can include activities such as indoor/outdoor cooking on either days and games that reflect what our activities usually are like, Hence, both groups are encouraged to communicate with one another to avoid the clashing of activities.
• The venue for the inter-patrol competition should be readily available. (decide on where you want to hold it and inform your mentor before hand so that we have enough time to free the area for the activity on that day itself) Safety comes first!

Note for the 9 people involved in planning service learning projects:

1. Find an organisation that requires our service. (Call/Email to enquire first.)
2. Service must be beneficial to the organisation (ask the organisation what they would need, if they would prefer students aged 13-16 to be involved.)
3. Service should not be based on fund raising only.
4. Service should preferably be conducted over at least two 2.5-hour long sessions at the organisation.
5. Sec 3 teams to discuss target group they wish to help and write up a brief proposal on what they wish to conduct for the target group.
6. Group will bring at least 10 other CCHMS Sec 1 - 4 Guides for the service. (As much as possible, try to involve different Guides for 'Events 5-7', so that everyone gets to experience the act of volunteering.)
7. All service learning projects must be completed between 1 February 2014 - 31 March 2014.

Do consult your mentor for help as they are assigned based on the experience they have for your event. At the same time, do look out for people you can/cannot work well with. All the best and work hard!

love, Carrie CL
