Scouts

St. Andrew's Star Scout Group has scouts age ranged 12-17.

These are some of the things that we scouts do.

1. Outdoor/Indoor cooking

2. Pioneering

3. Exploration

4. Job Week/Diamond Jubilee Fund Raising

Job week & Diamond Jubilee Fund Raising is an event happening every year. The scouts will go to each house and ask for a job to earn money. The purpose of this event is to understand the importance of hardship, to see how it is like to take up an odd job and it gives you a real life experience of working. It is a unique yet meaningful event that scouts experience every year.

We aim to inculcate discipline, leadership qualities and teamwork attributes through informal education processes at various formative stages. Scouting is a non-formal self-education system, which composes of different elements which work together to provide a rich, active and fun learning environment. 

In scouts, we learn by doing. Learning by doing means developing as a result of first-hand experience. It reflects the active way in which one gains knowledge, skills and attitudes through a practical approach. Learning by doing as a patrol also allows everyone in the patrol to actively engage with the process, take ownership and learn how to work with different kind of people with different attitudes.

One aspect that makes scouts special is the patrol system. The patrol system is the basic organisational structure in Scouting. Each small group, normally comprising
5-6 Scouts, operates as a team with two members acting as a Patrol leader and an Assistant Patrol leader. Within each team and in ways appropriate to their capacities, the Scouts organise their life as a group, sharing responsibilities, learning from each other's strength and weaknesses and working as a team. This moulds a teenager to handle different personalities when he or she goes to the work force.

Events

Recruit Training Camp (RTC)

The recruit training camp is a highly anticipated event that serves as a vital platform for the development of leadership, discipline, and camaraderie amongst our Scouts. The primary objective of the camp is to empower our Patrol Leader Council the opportunity to plan a camp equipping the new recruits with basic scouting skills, and for the seniors to train and guide the new recruits.

Values-In-Action

Our Scouts participated in tree planting sessions from 2022 to 2024 organised by NParks as part of the OneMillionTrees movement. This is part of our efforts to transform Singapore into a City in Nature, which is a key pillar under the Singapore Green Plan 2030 and supports the sustainable development goals for Scouts.

Invitational Campfire

In Scouting, a campfire is a traditional activity where Scouts gather around a fire for fellowship, entertainment, and reflection, often including songs, skits, stories, and cheers.
