NPC (part 2)

   Sarimbun ready to be conquered !



The time had come. All the items were brought in by scouts the previous day. My team and I were extremely anxious but were ready to conquer our challenges to bring pride to our unit. We quickly got changed and immediately got to work, nothing could stop us from losing momentum. We had setup our tents and camp gadgets and had started on the energy draining gate way. The struggle was real! we had prepared so much but nothing seemed to work out when we started planing. We had countless conflicts of interest and ideas that led to wastage of time. Soon days passed by and we cleared many heavy components such as the backwoods men and the pioneering structure. Though we really nothing but a gold, being in the top twenty. We received a silver. That night was tough and hard, we sobbed our hearts out and pondered why we failed to receive a gold. The next day we packed up and left for home hoping to be welcomed back with a warm smile. The lesson learnt wasn't an easy one, in fact it was a big price to pay. Scouting really does test limits. More adventure awaited ahead.

Preparation
and 
mock camp for
NPC

It wasn't easy. We had put in so much effort during our training sessions the pressure of wanting to succeed ,was building. The time that we had spent during the holidays were endless. We were slowly losing interest and focus in each and every knot that we tied. However that bit of passion we had left grew stronger as we perservierd through tough times. Soon phase one was over...we got 68% for it. We weren't happy and at the same time determined to do better in phase 2. The journey towards gold continued!
