2025 Bishan Park Games Day

On 15 November 2025, the Troop gathered early in the morning for our long awaited Games Day which was held in Bishan Park.

Upon arrival at Bishan park, the troop assembled at recycle hill where a safety talk was conducted. Afterwards, the scouts were split into 7 different patrols where they took part in VOJ, a rotation of 7 stations run by the ventures. The scouts had to travel to various stations which were spread across the entirety of Bishan park. They tackled various challenges which tested their physical and mental capabilities. Moreover, the games tested their ability to adapt to the foreign surroundings and their ability to work together to complete the game and its objectives.

After VOJ was completed, the scouts gathered back at recycle hill for a briefing about the following game, which was a mass manhunt session. The objective of the game was to run and hide within the perimeters set in Bishan park and avoid getting caught by the ventures. Scouts demonstrated good coordination within their patrols, and their awareness of the surroundings

which helped them to hide from the ventures.

By afternoon, the troop gathered back at recycle hill for a final debrief. Through this activity, the scouts understood the importance of adaptability, resilience and teamwork, while also strengthening their bonds as a patrol as they worked together to complete the various games.  

Reflection by Samuel Lim

The 15th of November marked the last Jihe of 2025. It was a rather special one, especially since this Jihe was in Bishan park. In the morning, the troop started with a farewell ceremony for Mrs Liow, who would be transferring to another school. We were all touched by her meaningful words and dedication for the scout troop in 2025. She received a book with words of appreciation by every member of the scout troop, collated by the L3 scouts. At Bishan park, we enjoyed 7 stations prepared by our ventures, which allowed us to bond as a patrol and also earn our last few points before the finalised inter-patrol ranking. The stations included first aid, caterpillar walking, pt challenges, finding hidden objects, blindfolded games, and card games. After, we did our final activity for the day which was a manhunt. All patrols hid in different parts of Bishan Park while ventures tried to find them. It was a new and fun activity, and everyone certainly enjoyed it. Overall, it was a lighthearted session planned by the ventures and a fitting end to 2025.
