Aisyah's Campfire Reflection

CHEMICAL AG!- My 1st campfire!

I had a lot of fun and experience.My patrol,Kingfisher 1st, is in charge of GATEWAY.I helped out by tying the knots and lashes for the ladder.I am proud of our gateway even though it is simple.Many thanks to the Montford Scouts who helped us out with the gateway.I like our banner a lot! It was fun painting the banner.As there was not much to do for the gateway,I helped out other patrols such as,Structure,Backdrop & Fire.I learnt to do many different things.

The sec 2s and sec 3s dance was great! The perfomances by the others were great too.AND NCC won the Best Cheer! The Best performance was by Square Root 64! I truly enjoyed myself.

Anderson Clover Guides Annual Campfire 2008 (Chemical Ag)

This is my first campfire and it was very enjoyable! I have learnt many skill throught the campfire preperation by helping other patrols.My patrol(KF1st) and swallow 1st were in-charge of the gateway.The Montfort scouts helped the most for the gateway.While tthey were doing their part,some of us did the ladders while some did the handrails.Although the campfire preperation was hard work,but the result were rather rewarding.

During the campfire,the hall was filled with excitement.There were many of us screaming and cheering.I remembered a few of us crossed to the other side to make some noise as it was too quite.In the whole programme,I enjoyed the sec 2,3 dance and the games where the scouts carry and the guides drag their friends to the stage!At the end of the campfire we ended with a "Campfire Closing" where all of us stood in a circle.

This event is very memorable and unforgettable to me!:)

Junisha's Reflections:

We took very long to prepare for our campfire. Though it only lasted for maybe around 3 hours, but we spent many months preparing for it. Just to mak a good repretation on Anderson CLover Guides and thus more people would come for our campfire next year.

My patrol, Swallow 1st, and Mynah 1st were in the gateway comittee. Joining patrols was fun as we could make more friends. (: It was fun being in the gateway comittee because we had to make a banner and a gateway to welcome people in. Painting the banner was quite troublesome becuase the pint we used was kangaroo paint and the only way to rub it off is the use the thinner. Sometimes we would use alot of thiner because i could not come off and i hands would feel very hot. The gateway comittee did not have much to do as we completed the banner quite early so we helped out in the other comittees. Another problem that occured was the about the Monfort scouts. We always had to wait for them to come then we can start the gateway. Sometimes they would be very late so we would start late. When the campfire came, we were actually lucky that we finished the gateway and the touch ups but we really have to thank the monfort scouts for making the effort to come and help us.

When it was the campfire day, 29th May, i was very excited. Some of us were in charge of ushering the visitors from the gate to the gateway. After our duty, we went back up into the hall. WOW. When i entered the hall, the whole hall was so " HIGH ". Everyone was screaming and cheering and obviosuly i joined in. Some of us went to the other side of the hall so that the noise would be balanced. I could see that many others also enjoyed themselves a lot. i really think that all our efforts that we had put in was all worth it. I enjoyed it ALOT! (: THANKS YOU MA'AMS!

Chemical Ag. This year’s campfire theme. My second campfire in anderson clover guides. I would say: “ A GREAT SUCCESS!”
Though this year we had very little time to prepare for our campfire due to the SA1 period, chemical Ag was still a success nonetheless. It was truly a memorable night for me. Chemical Ag can mean the chemistry bonding between Anderson Guides and her fellow brother scouts and sister guides; the element silver.

My patrol (structure) actually started preparation only after SA1 was over. That meant we had only 17days before campfire! Till then, our proposal was still rejected and we had to come up with new and innovative ideas. We stayed back practically every single day after school to prepare for the campfire. It was only until much later that was proposal was finally finalised.

The first week of the June holidays was spent in school for campfire preparation. YunJin ma’am drew out the designs on the cardboard and the rest of the patrol members cut them out and painted it. We had to do many times of touching up after the paint had dried and while waiting for the paint to dry, we would take a rest or help out at other patrols that needed help. One thing that upset me was that one time ma’am came and told me and Bixia not to just sit there and do nothing but instead do something to make the paint dry faster! I was pissed! We had actually just finished touching up the structures and wanted to take a break, no doubt that campfire is just a few days away. Is taking a break too much to ask of? We are humans and we need a break too! (no offence!) Anyway, the outcome of all the structures was nice! As the saying goes, failure is the route to all success; no matter how many setbacks we encounter to taste the fruit of success, it is a good experience. All the hard work put in by everyone until the day of campfire was worth it! The campfire was a success!!! XD Though Huixin ma’am only came back on the campfire day itself, we, a*guides have proven ourselves to be capable of producing a campfire with only less than a month to prepare!

CHEMICAL AG, I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS CAMPFIRE!

Let's begin with " It's how you deal with failure that determines how you achieve SUCESS"okay i think the campfire was coolso it was a sucess,so don't be pessimistic. =D

Well through the campfire, we got the feel of how it's like to organize something major.
We got to put our hard work into something and see it bloom, I think that was really fulfilling; seeing smiles, getting high, dancing your heart out.
And most importantly we just got even CLOSER! XDAs for me i got to understand my sec1s, see their cute innocence, got to understnad what are their likes. And let's see i learnt more about my ps ;)
There were unpleasant times, but no big deal. Nothing goes smoothly.
I think gateway was fun, it's my second time being in the gateway com. You might think gateway got off the easiest because there were montfort scouts to help. But trust me, there is nothing to get envious about. We got out fair share of stress and scolding too okay!But we still owe our grattitude to montfort.

Hmm i think i'm running short of stuff to say.

Conclusion: we learnt much stuff that might and will come in handy in future. many BONDS were created. And we loved each other more more more...

=D tada

CHEMICAL AG was fun!it was hard work before the campfire.KF2 was in charge of P&P.our proposal got changed times and times.it was painful&heart aching to see everything being thrown away.qian ci and i hold back our tears everytime we see yujia and samantha cry.i know coming out with a proposal is tough.i blame myself for not being creative enough.from this i know that i really gotta think hard when i really need to think.but the best thing is, our patrol really bond together after this incident.we became stronger.the campfire itself was very cool! the Emcees did a good job.but when it was time to give instructions of the game, i cant hear them.i was standing at SJAB's place and i couldn't hear anything.i also feel that the atmosphere wasnt very "high" except for ASC and A.Guides.and i seriously hate it INDOOR...but overall,CHEMICAL AG brought alot of fun to my life a Sec2 in AndSS&&A.Guides.i also want to thank all those ma'ams who helped out for P&P.thank you.
