PLTC

The counting down to the number of day to camp had stopped last Sunday. Although the Year 3s PLTC have ended last Sunday and we have learn many new thing and improved in many ways, however, it is just part of our learning journey, there are still much to learn and we are marching on towards the leading role.

PLTC is an important camp for us as it is can be called the final test on our leadership skills. As this camp was very important, everyone tried our best doing camp preparation while juggling with our studies. But none of us complained as we really want this camp to be a success and not let other be disappointed with us.

Everyone pia a lot, refusing to give up at the slightest pain, and stood by one other. After the activity, despite all the tiredness, we cheered each other on and prepared for the next activity camp development.

In camp Development, we faced many problems such as manpower allocation. We did not make use of our manpower efficiently causing us to be unable to complete the structure in time and kept asking for time extensions. This was also due to, lack of urgency and prior preparedness to try out the structures before the camp. As we did not have much time before the camp, we did not spend a lot of time trying our structures. This in which is a big mistake for most of the patrols especially in activities such as speed pioneering and camp development. Although, we manage to improve a little at the second day of camp development however there were still lots of space for improvement during camp development, we also learn the importance of being flexible not always stick to our plans. Due to many unforeseen circumstances, we learn adapt to the situation we were in and made changes according to it

Overall, we have learnt a lot about leadership through PLTC and learnt the importance to trust one another and the importance of effective communication with others. At the end of this camp, the results is not the most important, it is what we learned, the leadership skills we learnt and sisterhood and everyone did their own part to do their best. PLTC has certainly made us more physically and mentally stronger and the passion for guides grew stronger and the sense of belonging got stronger.

We want to thank the Guiders, the YALs, YULs and others for helping us throughout this camp, supporting and and cheering us on. We want to thank everyone for making this camp a success, watching us improve a little day by day and not giving up on us when some things go wrong

Love guides.
