I'm feeling disgusted from a question asked by a sea scout recently.
The conversation was like this:
**
Sea Scout: Hey Teik Min, since tomorrow is and end to our exam, we would like to
going to cc to celebrate the end of the exam. Can we?
Me: Let me ask you a question. Did every form 1 pass all their keahlian test already?
Sea Scout: No.
Me: What month is it?
Sea Scout: March.
Me. Then?
Sea Scout: Oh. I understand. I thought we could celebrate then end of our exam.
**
I don't want to type out more what was said in the conversation.
I was disgusted with the thought that sea scouts can skip meeting because want to celebrate end of a exam.
What is so nice to celebrate about celebrating a monthly exam?
There are still mid-year exam, and end-year exam.
Sea scouts these days can skip meeting and go to cc, just like that.
They have no responsibility, no commitment.
They can simply skip a meeting, and leave the newcomers, the form 1's with no proper leader.
If that is so? What will the form 1's think of 8th Georgetown South?
Is 8th Georgetown South, a uniform body, to join for the purpose to go to cc?
If that is so, I rather the troop to be closed down.
The reason of this is also because of Senior Sea Scouts (Form 4, and 5's) did not attend meeting during they were form 2 or form 3.
This has affected the current form 2's and form 3's.
They take the reason above the to not go to meeting because last time, they're seniors also did not go.
This is not correct.
What they should do is, learn from they're seniors mistakes and not repeating them.
This has been stressed over and over again but to no avail.
I sincerely hope that the current batch of Sea Scouts will buck up and improve themselves.
I really do not want to see 8th Georgetown South to degrade anymore.
Improve yourself before improving others.
