BEST BOY AWARD

Our heartest contgratulations to Alvin Ngan, 79th Coy's CSM for 2008 - 2009, who was awarded the BEST BOY AWARD this month.

The Best Boy Award is also known as the “S P Chua Medal” for the Seniors Programme Company. Mr S P Chua joined The Boys’ Brigade since 1930 as a pioneer member of the Organisation, and was the Brigade President from 1958 to 1964 and in 1999 was appointed as the Honorary Brigade President.

It is hoped that this award’s synonymy with their distinguished names will spur members towards excellence in their career in The Boys’ Brigade and the other aspects of their life.

Press on Alvin and all Sec 4s for your O and N Levels.

To the Juniors, work hard and strive to achieve greater heights such as your Senior and CSM did before you!

Map Reading & Campcraft in BB

The 79th Coy held their Map Reading and Campcraft training session during last Friday CCA Training.

Basic Map Reading Skills and Campcraft are taught to Sec 1 and Sec 2 Boys. In addition, this was a platform to test our Sec 3 NCOS whom were tasked to lead and conduct the lessons to the junior Boys for this programme.

All in all, it was a fun and interesting session which will greatly benefit our Boys especially during their NS TIme.

BB Adventure Quest 2009

Our boys took part in this year's BB Adventure Quest and managed to complete the race, attaining the Bronze Honour Roll along the way.

This was a result of perservance and hard work especially during the training stages where they had to run at least 5km every Friday.

Arriving at the start point at 330am, the boys started the Quest and finally completed the Quest at 330pm, arriving at the end point after a tiring race. They had to complete a total race of approximately 40km, comprising of a running/walking stage, a kayaking stage and a cycling stage. In addition, they also had to complete stations such as archery, sudoku and soccer.

Well done, 79th Coy!

During the March Holidays, members of the 79th Coy came together for the annual LDC 1 Camp that was held in Henderson Secondary.

The main objective of the Leadership Camp is to lay a basic foundation of leadership within the context of small squad management. The Boys are introduced to fundamental topics such as Different Leadership Styles, Basic Qualities of a Leader and Upfront Speaking during classroom-based activities. In addition, the Boys were broken up into small squads to facilitate the traininer in assessing them on various squad assignments given to them.


Individual Boys as well as the squad in general were graded on the planning, organisation and implementation of various camp activities such as Inter-Squad Games, Meals Management, Area Cleaning etc. Officers will debrief the Boys upon completion of their projects and also offer suggestions on areas for improvement.


In addition, a promption ceremony for the Sec 2 - 4 Boys was held to honour their efforts that they have invested in the Year 2008. It was also a time to thank Officer Peng Kiat for his hardwork in the 79th Coy as he leaves us for Missionary work abroad. We also bid farewell to Rio who will be leaving us as he prepares to follow his family back to the Philippines later on this month.

Henderson Secondary School's CCA Orientation

The 79th Coy and Henderson Secondary School held its annual CCA Orientation on the 9th of Jan 2009!

Together with all the other CCAs in Henderson Secondary School, Sec 1 students were treated to an interactive and information experience through booths displays and live demonstrations by the SJAB and NCDCC CCAs.



Our BB Boys also enlisted the help of Mr Raymond from BB HQ who helped demonstrated and set up the Archery Display at our Booths.

In addition, Sec 1 students were attached to a particular CCA for one hour to experience the daily operational aspects of each CCA during that time.



We at the 79th Coy hope that we are able to communicate the values and activities that the BB holds dear as well as carry out for the year 2009.

Sure & Stedfast!

Last Saturday (26 July2008), 40 boys from The Boys Brigade 79th Coy participated in BB CARES at Dover. On that day, our boys played games, showed a skit, sang along with the elderly and helped to do spring cleaning for some of the elderly. It was a great experience as our boys learned more about taking care of the elderly.

Several things learned on that day

1) Renjie really can sing old songs!

2) Edwin can sing Hokkien songs!
