St Joseph ' s Pelandok Scouts
In 2024 , the St Joseph ’ s Pelandok Venture Scout Unit had an eventful year , participating in both school-based and external activities which engaged the unit members and imbued them with valuable venturing memories and experiences .
The unit played a crucial role in organising and facilitating the Unit Training Camp ( UTC ) 2024 to assess and train the leadership abilities of the juniors in the Scout unit . Aside from the training of leadership abilities , the Ventures also imparted their knowledge of scouting to their juniors and ensured the enjoyment of the camp for all participants throughout the event . By involving themselves in the camp , the Ventures were able to hone their leadership abilities and live out the values of the school by being Men and Women for Others .
In addition to the camp , the Ventures also exemplified the ideal of servant leadership through their weekly and enthusiastic participation in Project Lectio , which aims to help underprivileged children acquire pre-reading and writing skills to have a smooth transition to formal education . Through their participation in this project , the unit moved beyond service in just the school community and extended their assistance to the wider community , aiming to uplift those who need help and be caring and empathetic members of society .
From participating in a Standard First Aid course and backwoodsman , to completing a 30km hike , the Ventures have acquired new skills which will undoubtedly benefit not only themselves , but those around them as well .
Having gone through the many activities and lessons throughout the year , the Venture unit has strengthened their mental fortitude , equipped themselves with valuable real-world skills , given back to society and become a united family .
