American Cub Scouts

BSA Pack 3010

Cub Scout Pack 3010 is for boys and girls aged from 5 to 11 years old.  While our pack is based out of Stamford American International School, we have children joining from many different schools across Singapore. We are a family-oriented group with many of our pack activities encouraging all members of the family to be involved, and now we have both boys and girls able to join from Kindergarten onwards it has become even more so. Pack 3010 follows the Cub Scout program of Boy Scouts of America, and dens will meet once or twice per month depending on the activities planned. The different dens are split by grade level, and set their meeting time at the beginning of the scouting year, in August, to make it as accessible as possible to all the families of our Pack. Some of the Cub Scouts’ favourite activities include the Raingutter Regatta and Pinewood Derby, where they build their own miniature car to race, and our camp outs and hikes are an exciting way to have fun in the great outdoors.

When & Where: Varies by den

BSA Troop 1010 – “First in Asia and the World”

Welcome to Troop 1010, a unit of the Far East Council and chartered through Stamford American International School. Troop 1010 is one of the first Scouts BSA Troops in the world for girls and the very first in Singapore and the Asia South District. Girls joining Troop 1010 in 2019 can potentially make history by becoming some of the world’s very first female Eagle Scouts.

Troop 1010 teaches the same values and life skills using the exact same methods, requirements, and advancement standards used by BSA in its Troops for boys. Scouts BSA for girls is structured to assure they can equally enjoy the same program opportunities to challenge themselves, gain special skills and outdoor experience, serve the local and international communities, instill important values, and develop leadership abilities which will serve them over the course of their lives. Girls joining in 2019 also have the distinction of being ‘Founding Members’ of Troop 1010; they will very quickly be positioned to demonstrate their leadership as the Unit membership grows from its initial core.

When: every Tuesday 7-8:30pm
Where:  Adams Cafeteria, Stamford America School
Contact: sgtroop1010@gmail.com

BSA Pack 3017

BSA Pack 3017 is a family-oriented Cub Scout pack that follows the guidelines of the Boy Scouts of America programme. The pack, which numbers around 120 children of 11 nationalities, is based at Singapore American School, but welcomes boys and girls aged six to 10 years from any school in Singapore. Children are divided into age-appropriate dens and ranks which do all sorts of fun stuff together with different dens meeting at different times and locations. The overall group, known as the Pack, meets once a month and does a wide variety of activities including Sports Day, Halloween Carnival, Campout, Wheel Day, Pinewood Derby, Blue & Gold Banquet and much more! The goal is to develop leadership skills and a love of the outdoors through fun.

When:  Times an locations vary by den; monthly pack meetings at SAS on occasional Friday evenings
Where: Pack meetings are usually at Singapore American School, 40 Woodlands Street 41

Cub Scouts (8-10 yrs): Cubs go on hikes and camps, play games, make things and earn badges along the way. It is a great way to make new friends for both kids and parents.

Scouts (10-15 yrs): Scouts focus on the outdoors with camps, survival skills, bush craft and adventure activities. Scouts is a structured self development platform for young people that gives them leadership opportunities, and teaches practical teamwork and organisation skills through working in small groups and organising their own activities.

Venturers (15-18 yrs): Venturers take their self development further by designing and runing their own program – doing things like mountain biking along jungle trails, full day hikes and camping in Malaysia’s National Parks.  If you want more adventure, this is for you!

The rain and cold winds getting you down? A warm beverage and maybe a good book to snuggle up to might just chase the blues away!

If hot chocolate is too mainstream for you, could we offer up this red velvet alternative? @littlefarms have a wide selection of oat milks, almond milks and soy milk options. 

Since it's #Veganuary, we recommend using dairy free milks to recreate this recipe....

2 cups non-dairy milk of choice
4 medjool dates (pitted)
1 tablespoon cacao powder
1/2 teaspoon beet powder

Add the milk and dates into a saucepan.
Heat, over medium, until it reaches a simmer. Add the warm milk with the dates and the remaining ingredients into a high speed blender.
Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Serve and enjoy!

As we welcome the start of a new year, it’s time to look back at the year that was. 

Obviously, a standard review of 2020 would be dominated by one global issue, however, we’ve decided to avoid any mention of the C-word and instead, we’re taking a look at some of the other things that happened in 2020 
month by month, from pop culture phenomena to mystery objects in our deserts and skies (full link in our stories)

Enjoy – and have a wonderful 2021!
