CCA c0mments! Hi, I'm back again, this time, to talk about my CCA. If you don't know what is a CCA, let me tell you. It is basically a co-curricular activity, to let you relax after one whole hectic week of school. Of course, there are also competitive CCAs like "Badminton" and "Soccer", which involve exhaustive competitions. Fortunately, my CCA in school is Scouts. It is a popular uniform group, which means that the group members have to wear a uniform. We have a meeting every Saturday, and the first event of the day is flagbreak, when we hoist the flag of our scout unit. Next, is closely followed by PT, or physical training. Usually, we must run a long distance for this. Then. we will have our lectures and tests. In this part, our seniors will teach us some new skills like knot tying, etc, and we will be tested on it. After this, we will always have our footdrill. It is the period of time when we will have to learn and practise parade commands, as parades are very important in some Scouting events. Then, we will have our Patrol Corner, which is when all the members of each patrol get together and decides who will write the log of the day, in his own perspective. All these logs will be written in the patrol's so-called "Diary", which contains the logs written by past members of the patrol of past meetings. In my opinion, I think all this is like some sort of time capsule, to keep the memory of all that has happened since the founding of the unit.

There are also many interesting events throughout the year for my CCA. For example, at the end of the year, we will always have a End-Of-Year camp. Mostly, it will be held in November, but the venue is unknown, as sometimes it is different. If we were lucky, the principal will send us overseas to represent my school in some overseas event. Also, on 22nd February, which is Founder's Day, it is compulsory for us Scouts to wear the Scout Uniform to school, as to honour the day the founder, Lord Baden Powell, created the Scouts.


In addition, there are also many hands on projects hosted by the Scouts each year. For example, at the start of the year, we have an Annual Job Week, which means that we have to do odd jobs for a week, in order to earn money for the Scouts Association. This is usually quite fun, although occasionally it may be a little tiring. There will be an amount that each Scout of different levels have to earn. If they can meet this criteria, they will get a badge called the "Bumblebee", signifying that you are a capable worker. In the middle of the year, there is also an Annual Donation Draw. For this draw, we Scouts have to go around selling lucky draw tickets to the members of the public. If you are lucky, you may win one of the top prizes listed on the ticket. As the name implies, all the money collected from selling the tickets will be donated to charity.

This is all i will say for now. I hope you will be inspired by me to go join th Scouts as your CCA!
