Woke up to a beautiful Sunday in June. I could hear the
birds chirping and singing merrily in my Little Garden. The happening in
my Little Garden brought back memory of my days while camping in the woods during
my scouting days. With that memory I thought that I would just write about
me been a Boy Scout in my teen during my schooling days. I join the Boy Scout
Movement as soon as I am eligible to do so. I registered myself as a scout by
joining the Abdullah School Scout Troop; the 1st Kuantan Scout Troop. That
began a journey of adventure until I left school after completing the Form
V extermination in 1957. I never missed any of the activities of the Scout
troop like going on camping and hiking. In scouting we learn about
every aspect of leadership and many skills that would eventually help me
greatly in my career in the government. I took test to qualified myself
to be a Queen Scout and in mid-1957 just before the country gained its
Independence on 31st August 1957 I became the Queen Scout. We
all went all the way to Kuala Lumpur to receive the certificate in a grand
ceremony at the Kuala Lumpur town Padang. The Queen Scout Certificate was personally
handed over by the then British High Commissioner to Malaya. I blog here about the presentation. Above
is an image of myself in the Scout Uniform.
Have a nice day.
