2025
DSG Campfire 2025
This year, our Year 2 Scouts represented the troop to attend Gan Eng Seng Dragon Scouts Campfire. Due to the rain, the Dragon Scouts had to shift the programme to the hall.
Though there wasn’t a real fire, the campfire spirit burned strong, with the troop participating in fun games and singing their hearts out with Campfire Songs 🔥.
Exchange with Mingdao High School
We have a good and long relationship with Mingdao High School all these years. For Mingdao High, and this year, we had 17 Scouts and 2 Teachers were on an exchange programme with our school as part of our Year 4 Gap Sem Programme.
At Mingdao High, all students are scouts, having their investiture in Sec 1. Scouting activities are also a integral part of school lift, having scout activities regularly during curriculum time
After our 02 Year 4 Scouts gave a short introduction to our scout troop, they joined us in fun activities, including backwoodsmen, trestle building with “chariot race” and stove cooking. A unique experience for all 🙂
March Camp 2025

This year’s 2D1N March Camp was especially unique for 02 Scouts as all batches from Year 1-4 were camping at Sarimbun Scout Camp simultaneously. The Year 1-2s were involved in a scout camp organised by the Year 6 Group Council and some Year 3s. The Year 4s were participating in Ventures Foundation Course (VFC) organised by South Area. Some Year 3s were involved as service scouts for a Cub Scout Camp Leaping Wolf which was also at Sarimbun.
This was the first scout camp for Year 1s and they had a lot of fun! Together with Year 2s they tried basha building, outdoor cooking, gadget building etc.
Exciting higlights included the most hype scout campfire ever, with not just campfire songs, but pure hype songs like the popular “Let it Go” from the hit movie “Frozen”, getting everyone into the campfire party mood; and a game of (very chaotic) Charades to end off the camp.

Happy World Scouts Day!
Our Year 2 and Year 4 Scouts embarked on a Heritage Trail organised by Singapore Scout Association South Area. It was a bright sunny Saturday morning. The scouts gathered happily in Singapore Botanic Gardens and then started their hike towards the Esplanade, their ending point. The trail included stopping at a few heritage sights and the scouts learnt about the history and culture of Singapore via an online app.
It was a fun and enriching experience and a great way for scouts to celebrate the occassion 🙂
102nd Birthday Bash
捞鱼生、年年有余咯！
For this year’s Birthday Bash, the Year 3s planned an afternoon of exciting games for the troop and we had our new Year 1s joining as well.
Since the big day coincided with the 15th Day of the Chinese New Year, we decided to end it with a bang, with a big Lo-Hei, last seen back in 2019 (pre-Covid times).
We dumped out the boxes on the tablecloth and chanted our blessings for the coming year, both for oneself and for the troop.
It was great that we could finally do tossing of Yusheng this year, which has always been a core memory for 02 Scouts in pre-Covid times.
Raffles Trail 2025
Another amazing year of Raffles Trail! This year, we brought the iconic 02 experience back to the Yusof Ishak Atrium, showing off our swing and displaying Scouting Memorabilia and awards.
Our Scouts engaged with the Year 1s, giving a personal touch to the more technical aspects of Scouting.
Here’s to another year of amazing Scouting experiences!
2024
National Patrol Camp 2024
From the 14th to the 18th of November 2024, a team of our Year 1 to 3 Scouts headed to Sarimbun Scout Camp for a 4D3N, unforgettable camping experience, pitting themselves up against torrential rains and other natural elements.
Highlights included a “Heritage Tour” to nearby Cemeteries and the Old Ford Factory at Bukit Timah. As one scout describes it “I learned about how yamashita used his skibidi rizzler aura to intimidate Percival so hard” after his visit to the Old Ford Factory.
Activities revolved around SPICES, with bonding activities, physical activities like rock climbing and archery and more.
It was a unique experience after over 5 years of hiatus!

We had the amazing chance to host 13 students and 2 teachers from Mingdao High School (Taichung, Taiwan) who are on an immersion programme at our school.
