My thoughts about the programme:
First of all when we arrived at Telok Ayerand went to the temple. Un fortunately, our facilitators were unfamiliar withe route and we got separated with the first half of the group and got lost. Furthermore, it did not seem that they were sure of their end destination. The movement of the scouts was very disorganized and had to conastantly stop for various reasons.
The transport was also not ideal. I know it was requested by the Hong Kong scouts to take the MRT, however, it was very troublesome - the HK scouts had to buy their cards everytime we rode the train. Adding on to the inconvenience of taking the public transport, when we stopped at a hawker centre, wasting a few hours there and missing out on a few activities. If we had taken a coach, it would be able to pick us up regardless of the weather and we would not have to cancel the activities. Even if we did not take a coach, I suggest that the HK scouts make use of the extra time and plan for what they wanted to cook for the cooking competition later instead of just sitting down there and then not knowing what to buy inside the NTUC, thus wasting time and overcrowding the NTUC.
I also feeel that the waiting time between activties was too long.
In my group, the Singapore scouts and the HK scouts were separated and the interactions between us was little. I suggest that we had a few icebreaking games on the first day to help us know each other better and increase the chances of interaction between us.
