A day spent doing something different and helpful is a good day indeed.
The Keningau Scouts organised the Perkhemahan Ikhtiar Hidup dan Orienteering just Sunday and yesterday. A trio of us from Kem handled the O'ring part. Tn H did the talking while me and Mona did the legwork. No problem for us as I am still a novice in the O'ring presentation part. Morning was spent marking the surrounding areas of Taman Rekreasi Bunsit with o'ring markers while Tn H gave the intro, basic compass reading, bearings and such to the 51 students of surrounding high schools. Around noon, the o'ring 'competition' started. The area covered wasn't that big. It took us earlier around 45 mins to cover the whole area. It took the scouts 1 hr plus to finish. The last finishers nearly 2 hrs. We waited and waited for the last two participants who didn't turn up. Later we found out that they lost the control cards and thought that that didn't matter and never bothered to inform us and when they arrived, they just went to the riverside to bathe and have lunch. Grr.... made us worry for nothing...
One thing that stood out, really stood out
in Bunsit, especially at the taman bandukan..
were the amount of shit... ehem...
the cattle turds...
the piggy turds...
that decorated the paths.
The asphalt, the pathways, the padangs..
aiya... i even accidentally stepped on a fresh pat of green cake...
Anyway..
A 'pentauliahan' was done during the closing ceremony which
was held at around 4pm on Monday. I've never been witness to
such Scout ceremony. Interesting protocols. Appointments the new Keningau
King Scouts Caretaker was done. The former Caretaker was naik-pangkat-ed
as the Caretaker for the Kelana one. What's that in Scouts term in English, I don't know.
It's for those Scouts who have left high-school.
There was a Senior Scouts there who had been constantly
snapping away pictures with a canggih camera.
Later on, we found out that he's a Borneo Post
part time journalis. Someone said, tunggulah 2-3 hari,
the gambar of this camp will be out.
