团庆2026

78th Anniversary 团庆 Article 

The troop gathered on 24 January 2026 to celebrate 团庆, marking our 78th anniversary and adding yet another chapter to our proud history. Building upon the legacy of 78 generations of Catholic High Scouts, we commemorated this special occasion by remembering the legacies and remarkable achievements of our seniors, while striving to continue doing our very best in all that we do as we carry their flame forward.

Celebrating 2025

2025 was a fantastic year for our troop.

Five of our Scouts attained the Chief Scout’s Award, and three of our Venture Scouts achieved the President’s Scout Award — the pinnacle award of a Scout’s and a Venture Scout’s journey respectively. Furthermore, another five of our Venture Scouts attained the Chief Scout’s Award (Venture).

Our troop also held our annual June Camp at West Coast Park last year, marking our first there since the pandemic.

In addition, three of our Venture Scouts successfully completed the Spartan Race held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, demonstrating exceptional resilience and determination.

Troop Spirit

We began the day by raising the 旗杆 in one swift attempt — a feat made possible only through meticulous strategic foresight, careful planning, and a solid foundation. Standing at 18.6 metres tall, our 旗杆 was a powerful testament to our troop’s unity and strength as one.

After 升旗, our troop came together as one when the Cub Scouts joined our Secondary School Scouts for a series of games and activities. Through games such as 追踪, both Cub Scouts and Scouts bonded over shared experiences and forged even stronger ties.

The lion dance held in front of the 旗杆 brought the excitement to a greater heights. The beating drums symbolised the warding off of evil, while the “78” formed by the lions using mandarins ushered in auspicious luck for our troop.

As our Cub Scouts, Scouts, Ventures, and Leaders gathered for a group photo, we observed a one-minute silence in memory of our late Group Scout Leader, Mr Andrew Chua, who served the troop with unwavering dedication and care. A heartfelt “Thank you, Mr Chua!”, followed by the birthday song for our troop, reminded every one of us to build upon our legacies and remain true to our troop’s motto of Wisdom, Benevolence, and Courage.

We ended the day with 降旗, marking the close of a fruitful year and the beginning of a new year of excellence in 2026.

24 January 2026 was a day of celebration and of thanksgiving. Besides celebrating our troop’s achievements, it was also a time of thanksgiving, to thank our teachers and leaders for their continuous support as well as our GSL, the late Mr Andrew Chua. Without them, Catholic High Scouts would not have been what it is today. The achievements of our seniors have also definitely inspired me to be like them, to live out the Scout Promise and Law in my daily life. ~ Damien Chee, Sec 2 (Tiger Patrol) 

May our troop’s flag fly higher with each passing year, for many more years to come.
