Where art thou?

Saturday’s agenda can be a drag if you’ve had a wild nite. The feeling of laziness creeps in slowly and will scheme ways to ignore our zeal and make us just stay home and sleep. But no matter how hard I partied the nite b4, I will always be there for sat agendas albeit late sometimes. So I wake up early and drive to sch expecting to see at least 15 boy scouts, 8 rovers and 5 SR’s! Alas, it was not to be. Ytd, I saw bout 10 maybe 12 boy scouts, 3 miserably rovers out of 12 and 1 eff-ing SR!
We had Base Games and it was going to be fun. Provided we had enough scouts for it. We had 3 rovers (Barathi, Wen Yi & Ying Ling), and so we continued with Base Games. There are 6 bases namely Bottle, human pyramid, kim’s game, rope, ice and mines. Bottle is where scouts use ropes to get bottle(s) out from an area. Where the bottle might be placed on a chair, table or on the floor and they cant get within 5 feet of the bottle. Human pyramid requires them to uhh,well from human pyramid with the topmost person writing the patrol’s name on the wall with chalk. Higher u go, the better u are =). Kim’s game is just memorizing and in rope, they have to make a 5-pointed star with a long rope. Difficulty: All but one is blindfolded and the one w/o the blind out is the coordinator where he/she will give orders to the others to move. Scouts are required to dip their hands/arms into a bucket of water and collect 3 one cent coins. The bucket is half-filled with ice and water, and salt. And for mines, one member is blindfolded and the rest of the patrol is to guide him/her thru the maze. It is not easy!
Thru all these, the 3 of em showed tremendous team spirit and enthusiasm. Altho w/ only 3, they didn’t complain much. There was the occasionally rant bout getting darker. Don’t they know that morning sunlight is good for their health? Tsk tsk. Anyway, I truly appreciated for them coming for scouts even when all their friends jacked. My respect for them has been elevated! Keep up the good work girls; maybe we’ll promote you to acting patrol leaders? Well, just maybe!
Oh, my *insert maligning word* Sr’s. Where art thou` ytd? Knoweth not, thou` had agenda? Knoweth not, thou` presence was needed? But know this, you are not just embarrassing yourself, you are tarnishing the image of the troop. And there are many of us who will move mountains to preserve it.
