We all have to do what we are here to do

I've decided to come up with a list of stuff I like about 01 or scouts in particular, to enlighten more people of what we do. After all, for most of us, 01 is a cca not held in RJC, so it does not enjoy the perks like the STLs have to go for the leadership course. (If you can consider that as a perk)
1) We can do anything we want. We have a variety of activities. As compared to a sports person in basketball, who trains basketball everyday, we get to try our hand in anything under the sun.
2) It builds character. All the camps and hikes are physical demanding, so it trains you to be mentally tough to handle it.
3) We get to experience the outdoors through the hikes etc. Like Jun Seng once said, go for enough hikes and you should be able to know the whole of Singapore by heart.
4)The friendships!! After 3 years of crapping, shetting, ma-ing, lubbing around we are a close knit bunch of friends. Pity about my sec 1 year though...

I'm also fed up with the constant misconception about scouts. So now I shall try to change some people's mindsets about it.
1) We do not steal chickens. We have outgrown that phase.
2) We do not always hike. We do other things as well.
3) No, we do not steal the money we get from jobweek.

More when i think of it...
