The Gloomy Cold War
It seems like cold war between two axis had begun. It was preventable but i guess it just got too personal. Further more, it was due to the stress level of project and report deadlines that further create a bigger conflict among the two axis. Would it be the end of the enthusiastic DBF1A22 i used to know? Only time can decide. I will try me best to mediate with both sides through God's spirit and hopefully things will work out. ^_^
Speaking of the Cold War, another had broken out and this time between a National Scout Organisation and National Guides Organisation. I am afraid what The Singapore Scout Association has done may severed ties with their fellow sister in this World Youth movement. Unless the Girl Guides of Singapore do something about this particular situation, my predictions are as such. Over time Girl Guides from their respective companies would move towards the Venture Section of Scouting because their Young Adult(YA) programme is not as engaging. This may create an awareness to fellow sister guides that their seniors are moving over to scouts. Their guiders may try to persuade them to stay but if an insignificant number of YAs were to return back to their company, it goes to show that there is no true loyalty around and that may in turn make the enrolment rate of guides fall by a big percentage because girl guides will never feel a sense of belonging without elder sisters. Guiders may say its alright, i will just start again. But look, how many Guiders out there are ready to put in that amount of commitment and even so risk it when it is time for the guides to graduate. I am just upset over my Chief Commissioner's decision.
The Singapore Scout Association. An association i have grown to know ten years ago. A small boy during my cadet years learning to be more observant and to uphold my promise and law. As i moved on to secondary school, my scouting years are of hard skills and character development. I learn alot but i have failed to understand that there is much more in the world out there which requires us peace keepers to assist. The Singapore Scout Association and its inefficiency. I got really tired of it as it was not the kind of Scouting Experience i wanted to have. I wanted more and so i perservered and went on to Venturing. I spend most of my time in venturing towards service and test work. I learned alot to be a good citizen and geared myself towards President Scouts Award (PSA). It was an award everyone dream of having and i was really persistent towards it. I have fallen and the only award i am proud of having would be the Chief Commissioner's Award attained during my scouting days. Now as a leader, I am exposed to the world. Violence, poverty, pollution, etc. There is so much problems and here i am thinking to myself. What in the world was i doing trying to earn the PSA when i should be helping my fellow brothers and sisters to create a better world. Through this thought i realise again that my NSO aint doing much. Dissappointed! What ever it is, maybe only now have they responded by having a Scout of the World Discovery Project to aid the United Nations. I guess my only question would be, how many of this scouts out there are true scouts to not only go for this project for personal gains but to help the world.
