Dear Guides,

As you are all aware, Singapore would be hosting the upcoming Youth Olympic Games in 2010. As a precursor to this high-profile event, you are warmly invited to a Carnival at SMU on 10th January 2009 from 1 pm to 6 pm. The SYOG Logo would be unveiled and an array of activities, including a 2010 run, awaits you. 2-way transportation to and from Guide House will be provided.

To all PLs, kindly get 5 girls from your patrol to attend the event. Please email me the names of your Patrol members ASAP by 3rd Jan 2009.

Just to give you a sneak peak into the New Year, your patrol's participation will earn you points under next year's Patrol Point system. Attractive prizes await the BEST patrol of 2009. What's more - you'll be creating tradition for QSS 1st Coy!

So start gathering your girls for great FUN in 2009!

Best Regards,
Ms Latifah

Hi fellow guides! I went for a camp from 9th to the 12th of December 
2008 at Camp Christine. It was a camp all about camp training. I 
really had a lot of fun there. I have learnt how to pitch a tent and 
a kitchen shelter. I have also learnt some simple knots, hitches and 
lashings such the reef knot, sheet bend, clove hitch, square lashing 
and the snake lashings.

At the camp, in group of 6, we had to make our own baggage rack, a 
shoe rack and a clothes line. We also had outdoor cooking there. We 
cooked food such as pasta, bee hoon soup, chicken stew and simple 
fried rice using the old Girl Guides cookies tin to cook. It was 
really fun cooking outdoor as we had to keep the fire going until you 
have finished cooking your dish.

I have learnt this very important thing - in a traditional/proper girl 
guides campfire, we should not have any stage, emcees, props, etc. we 
should only have 1 or 2 campfire leaders who will lead us in the 
songs. Songs should be sung one after another without stopping. I 
have really enjoyed myself there.

Now that I have learnt how to plan a campfire, if i am 
given the permission, i will be able to organise a camp for all of 
us. Lastly I would like to encourage all guides who are given an 
opportunity to go for such camps to go as it is really worthwhile and 
you will be able to learn a lot of new things.

Yours-in-guiding, 
Soonal Janakraj

Dear Guides, 

Please be informed that the next Guides meeting for all will be on 090109 in Week 1 of Term 1. You are required to prepare your full uniform and bring along the black QSS 1st Coy T-shirt for this meeting. More information would be available on the notice board by Wednesday, 7th Jan.

For girls who have yet to receive the tshirt, please purchase them from me, between 2.30 pm - 3.00 pm on 2nd Jan 09. I'll be at the Guides den. Sales would close at 3 and if you can't be there in person please make arrangements to ask your fellow sister guides to help you. I'll like to clear stocks immediately, so please adhere to this request. Each tshirt costs SGD12.oo.

However, there is a compulsory meeting for all Sec 2s and 3s Guides (next year's Sec 3 & 4) on 2nd Jan 09
Time: 3.00 pm in the Class room outside the Staffroom. The agenda would be next year's activities and the transference of leadership for 2009. The meeting is expected to end by 5.oo pm or earlier. You may attend the meeting in full school uniform. Please have your lunch first as there is ample time prior to the start of the meeting.


Lastly, this concerns the banner making competition. Please note that Sec 3s of 2009 are to work together for this competition. Here are the rules of the competition:

1)     The name of the pack/coy and School must be indicated on the banner itself as well as on the top left hand corner of the back of the banner.

2)     Banners should be based on the World Thinking Day 2009 theme (Stop The Spread of AIDS, Malaria And Other Diseases”) and linking it with GGS’ triennium theme for 2009-2011 (“Together We Can Change Our World”).

3)     Each banner should come in the following standard sizes:

4m x 1.5m (horizontal display)

3.5m x 1m (horizontal display)

1m x 2.5 (horizontal or vertical display)

All banners must have a margin of 10cm from the edges.  Over-sized banners WILL BE DISQUALIFIED.


As a team, you will need to choose which banner size you'll like to create. Here is the tentative schedule that you'll need to stick to.


1. PURCHASING OF MATERIALS to be done by 29th December 2008

2. START OF BANNER DESIGN AND PAINTING to be done by 16th January 2009

3. SUBMISSION OF BANNER TO HQ on 23rd January 2009.


Avril has a design idea that she would like to share with all. Do look out for that and contribute dutifully to your first project as seniors in QSS 1st Coy. Success depends on you.


Best Regards, 

Ms Latifah
