Scouting

I started out as a Deep Sea Rover Scout, Senior Scout Leader and then took over as the Scout Master of the RAF Tengah, 30th Jurong Scout Troop.

Rover Scouting

Our first Rover Camp

The Scout hut was built by the Rovers, with my help of course		Myself and John (Mk.2) in the rain waiting for dinner

The cooking area and yes, it's still raining		Gosh the rain has gone and cooking is easier

Only one cook to spoil the broth

My first Scout Camp with me as Scout Master on Belakang Mati Island (Ghurkha H.Q.). The water for the island is rainwater collected in a reservoir built inside the highest hill.

Rumour mongers or sowing discord amonst family members have their tongue pulled out. Rapists or those driving someone to their death are thrown into a wok of boiling oil

8th Court - King Dushi. For a lack of filial obedience: causing trouble for parents or family members or cheating during examinations, their intestines and organs are pulled out. Those harming others to the benefit of themselves, have their bodies dismembered		9th Court - King Pingdeng Robbers, murderers and rapists, plus those committing any other unlawfull conduct have teir head and arms chopped off.
