Where do we keep our bamboos? The ones we use for pioneering and to build beds during our camps...
PS. It's not what you think. Not the thin bamboos, of course.
If you were from primary school, you would have noticed scouts walking in front of the primary school library. There, there is a gate where we keep our bamboos.
Secondly, we also keep the bamboos in the second store under the Great hall.

The meeting is commonly planned by the Troop Leaders. Roles and responsibilities are given to the others, who would abide by their timetable.
True or False?
BONUS: Can you explain why it is true/false?
FALSE!
Yes, they do coordinate the whole COH, but the planning is done by everyone conjunctively. Everyone must play their part in the planning and the preparation too..
What is the title given to the person in charge of the materials, and his/her assistants?
In English and Malay, btw.

Malay: Kuartermaster, Penolong Kuartermaster
Aside from writing letters and notes can you think of other roles of what a secretary does?
Answers: Writing permissions for camps/activities, Managing the troop attendance etc.
During camps we collect funds during the day of the camp itself. This way, it is more organized. We only collect before if it is very urgent, or if the person is unable to reach on time.
True or False?
False, of course. We must always collect early to settle the funds before taking care of other stuff. Collecting on the day itself is asking for trouble.
Who are your patrol leaders and assistants for this year?
Bonus point if you can guess the patrol leaders (only PL) of last year's troop!
Rajawali: Hin Chee, Xander
Helang: Kai Chong, Zi Hong
Kenyalang: Aiden, Foo Yik
Last year...
Rajawali: Dylan Chan, Kenyalang: Sanjay, Helang: Hafis Lau.
The troop leaders are usually the CC and the assistant troop leaders are usually the ACC.
What is CC/ACC?
Is this true or false?
Can you give a reason why?
CC: Camp Coordinator, ACC: Assistant Camp Coordinator
This is false. Although some camps there are circumstances when the TLs are the CCs and the ACCs, others are also given a chance to coordinate camps, based on their previous performance.

Muda: Mar Kai Chong, Soo Hoo Yang Shan, Ng Sai Sun Sarawat.
Remaja: Hafis Lau, Choo Kye Yong.

Before/During camps, we collect money and then use the money to buy ingredients, like ice, vegetables and such...
True or False? Why?
False... We don't actually use the money we collected to buy vegetables and meat. What if they don't pay us early? To solve this problem, each individual is tasked with buying an ingredient early so that we wont panic if one person didn't buy them all!
We pay them back after the camp with the funds we collected.
Your patrol probably... not probably, certainly... has two patrol leaders. They are also involved in other positions in the COH. Can you name them?
Bonus point if you know the others.
Zi Hong: APL, TL
Hin Chee: PL, ATL
Kai Chong: PL, QM
Xander: APL, Sec
Aiden: PL, AS
Foo Yik: APL, Tre
Remaja scouts consists of scouts from Year 10 to Year 11. But if you think about it, why aren't the Year 11s part of the COH? Or at least why aren't they chosen for the TLs or ATLs of the Remaja scouts?
Year 11s need to focus on their King Scouts programme, and their activities are mostly separated from Year 10s. Although they are part of the Remaja scouts, the Year 10s should be in charge instead.
