Extracted from KF Patrol Log'08.

You might be a 01 Scout if...

- You go camping just to get away from home

- If your hiking bag weighs more than you do

- If your new freckles looks suspiciously like mosquito bites

- It always rains during camps. Always. Especially Annual Camp.

- Your cooking fire resembles… well, if you get it lighted anyway

- The first thing you did with your first jack-knife was cut yourself

- Flies rather circle you than the dustbin after GTC

- The best meal you had during the camp is bread

- The best cooked meal you had during the camp is… well, most likely under/overcooked

- When people think you are back from the supermarket while hiking for GTC (plastic bags…)

- You hoard movie tickets and rubber bands in case they come up for Patrol-In-Town

- You go to the Finance Secretary to deposit money instead of a bank

- The liquid you see most often is your sweat and tears

- You use words like: Imser, Bomb, Foam, Manly, Cheeboh, GG, Ah Knots…

- You eat things unfit for consumption

- Mini Olympics is waay cooler than the Beijing Olympics

- All your camping gear actually fits in your backpack during packing, but you can’t fit a single thing in during inspection

- You have the urge to help little old ladies...whether they want it or not

- You begin to think garbage don't taste all that bad

- You start a fire with 50 matches

- You spontaneously break into strange songs in public

- You can stand in a horseshoe for 2 hours, and not notice that your legs are dead

- The spot you pick to pitch your tent is always harder than granite

- You wear 2 pairs of socks for 2.4km run to prevent abrasion

- The garbage man throws away your camping bag by mistake

- Your pots and pans are all black and bent.

- You always buy a bit of ingredients for cooking, but somehow you end up with a full pot of leftovers

- Every shoe you put on is filled with grass and stones

- Everything in your cupboard says "Instant, just add water"

- Your neighbours go on a vacation every time Job Week or Donation Draw comes around

- You are the only one of your age with a use for a condom (hold water la…)

- When people want to shake your hand, you give them your left hand

- You sleep better on the floor than on your bed

- You are close with your best friends because you have kissed the grass 1000 times together

- You obey every command of eight people who are a few years over you

- You go to the den every single day of the week (except some Sundays)

- If you can recite the Scout HQ number by heart (62592118)

- Your classmates don't recognize you when you're not in uniform

- If you've ever heard the phrase, "Trust me, it's only two days a week!!" and died laughing


And, last and not least,


You are proud of it. (:



Are you a scout at heart?
