Sungai Pertak Camp [13-15 Mac, 2010]
>>> More photos please CLICK HERE <<<
Our group organised a 4 days 3 nights camp at Sungai Pertak near Kuala Kubu Bharu from 13 March to 16 March 2010. The objective of this camp was to foster brotherhood among new and the current existing members. New members were also exposed to proper camping environment without any lights and gas stove.
On the first day of the camp, most of the Boy Scouts were excited as most of them, especially Form 1 new members, were first-time-campers. They learnt how to pitch a tent and light a fire. On the Seniors’ side, they had their own activities which did not look too progressive.
First day is the toughest day of the camp. From setting up the tents and gadgets to preparing lunch, everything is in chaos. In addition to the bad weather, most of the things went out of order and guess what? Lunch was a major problem. Rain went on and off for a few times and this worsened the situation. However, the Boy Scouts still managed to filled their stomachs with some guidance from the scouters. As for the Seniors, they have a simple lunch with bread and tuna. After that, they went on to make a camp table.
At night fall, the Boy Scouts managed to get some lights around their campsite because next to their campsite is the scouters ‘quarter’. Seniors are not so lucky because they are located at the opposite bank of the river.

wad a shame i missed this camp…
erm…
i wanna ask how you all contact the p.i.c at thr??
Hey guys,
You do not know me but I am one of those old scouts who refuse to give up. It is very nice to see you all enjoying the things that I did at your age. Your tents are lighter than those army tents that we used to have and I see a bit of luxury (a folding table) creeping into camp. Candles? That is a step back from those bright kerosene lamps that we use to use. Nowadays, a LED is a better alternative. You are still using the aluminium pots and pans and the billy can same as what we used in our days. Cooking in aluminmium is bad for you in the long run and I suggest that you get some lightweight stainless steel ones instead. You can get billy cans in stainless as well. You still need to scrub them just as hard.
We took care of the environment in our days. You wouldn’t find a sweet wrapper on the ground we camped on and I am glad to see that you are doing the same.
You have a great website. Do keep it up as I like to visit once in a while.
