Singapore Scout Guild - Raffles Chapter
Within the Singapore Scout Guild, the Raffles Chapter has now been formed and officially initiated on 29th May 2010.
Over the years, Scouting in Raffles has provided the boys opportunities to learn scoutcraft and to assume leadership responsibilities. Raffles Scouts have performed activities ranging from basic Scouting in school, overseas educational trips, camping and hiking both locally and overseas, and also assisting in various social work and needs. They have also achieved top awards given out by the Singapore Scout Association.
However, Scouts leave RI after finishing their 'A' Level examiniations, and the absence of a Rover crew as a next step following Venture Scouting further prevented boys to continue Scouting. Most proceeded for further studies to overseas universities. This becomes a sad reminder that their Scouting career had come to an abrupt end. After several years of studies and probably losing contacts with their old Scouting friends, most seldom think of rejoining the Scout Movement.
This is precisely why the Raffles Chapter has been formed. We welcome all Rafflesian ex-Scouts to join as life members of the Singapore Scout Guild and hence automatically become members of the Chapter.
All Rafflesian ex-Scouts interested to come onboard, please feel free to contact any one of us.
