Temasek Primary Event Reflection

Today I went to Temasek Primary for a competition. Although my school did not win anything there, I have learnt a few things through the camp. I have learnt that we have to work together and help each other if we want to win, covering each others weaknesses with your strengths. I have also learnt that when we lose, we must have good sportsmanship and congratulate the winning party.

First Aid

The basic thing about first aid is to know how to help if somone is in need. The other things you will need to know includes calling someone for help, dialing the ambulance ( 995 ) and dialing another ambulance ( 1777 )

Calling for help
When helping someone, if you are unsure of what to do, please do not take any action as you may injure the person further. Instead, call an adult for help. If none is present at that time, seek the best that you can. If all fails, dial either one of the ambulances.
Dialling the Ambulance
There are two types of ambulances. One is the one that is only dialed for if it is a real emergency. Such examples are : The person has fainted, bleeding profusely or needs extensive help immediately. the ambulance will arrive in roughly about three- ten minutes depending on the distance apart. Another one is the one that is called when it is still an emergency but not as serious as the ones mentuioned above.
Such example are : An extremely bad stomache, Extremely bad headaxche or broke your bone ( a minor break but still serious )

First Aid Kit
These are the basic things that you should have in your fist aid kit :
Antispetic Cream
Triangular Bandage
Sciccors Tape
Plaster Cloth
Alchol Swab
Cotton Buds
Tweezers

Uses of basic things

Antispetic Cream : To kill the bacteria and help in healing cuts and scars
Triangular Bandage : Uses are mentioned in Scout Uniform Post
Sciccors :  Must be clean ! To cut the tape.
Tape : To bandage the wound
Plaster : To Stick on wound
Cloth : To clean wound
Alchol Swab : To kill all germs in the wound thoroughly
Cotton Buds : To dab medicine onto the wound

Tweezers : To pick things used up as your hands may contain germs and spread it to the wound when used
 
 
 
Here's how to use a triangular bandage :
 
 
To make a large arm sling spread the bandage, as shown above, down the front of the victim's body. Carry one end over the shoulder on the uninjured side and bring it around behind the neck so that the end just hangs over in front on the injured side. Carefully place the bandage point behind the elbow, and gently bend the arm across the center of the bandage. Bring up the second end and tie to the end at the shoulder, making the knot (use a square knot) at the side of the neck, not behind.
The sling when it is completed should support the arm so that the little finger is slightly above the elbow. Finish it off by bringing the point forward around the elbow, and fasten it with a safety pin.

Jungle Book Reflection

Reflection For Jungle Book

I liked the story and the adventures in it. But apart from the
interesting content, there is also very important values in it for
us to learn from - The values of being a scout .
1) Perserverance
Even though the wolves and the men turned their back on
Mowgli, he did not give up but continued trying
2)Friendship
It was surprising that humans and wolves could be friends
as humans would normally think that wolves were dangerous
and most proably hunt them down. However, Mowgli was
raised by wolves and he loved them.
3) Loyalty
On of the wolves, was extremely loyal and even in the toughest
of times, it would always be by Mowgli's side no matter what.
4) Trust
When the wolves needed Mowgli he would be there for them.
He gained the wolves trust by doing so

Tracking Symbols

Tracking symbols are used to remember the route taken or tell others the way to go.
We can use sticks, stones, twigs (natural materials if you are in a jungle)

I promise that I will do my best-
to do my duty to God and the to Republic of Singapore
to help other people and to keep the scout law.


The Scout Promise Meanings:

( I promise to do my best ): Trying my best in everything that you do

( To do my duty to god ): I must remember god in everything that I do, helping
me to not to do things that are wrong.

( To the Republic of Singapore): I must respect and be loyal to Singapore, doing public services and respond readily to National Service when the time comes.

( To help other people ): Helping trains me not to be selfish. Visiting the home for aged, sick, and the handicapped are some examples of helping. Whether or not in uniform, we must always be ready to help others.
