Some of the girls may not be able to make it because they have left girl guides for some reasons or another, I would like to have 3 other volunteers. You may leave a comment if you are interested. (Seniors are welcomed to join us)

Attire: GG Light Blue Polo T-shirt with PE-shorts/black or dark blue shorts.

What to bring along:

EZ link card to take public transport, as you will be travelling on their own to the Singapore River.

You should have at least $5 in your EZ link cards, though you will only be taking the MRT there and back, which will probably cost less than $1.50 in all.

You can bring your own snacks, water and umbrella/caps, since it will be a long morning for them, travelling on foot.

From last year's experience, the guides/brownies will take about 4 hours to complete the entire trail, inclusive of travelling time to and from Zhonghua Secondary School. The teams will come back to Zhonghua for the prize giving ceremony and lunch, which will be provided by our school. This will provide the girls with ample opportunity to interact and get to know each other.

The whole even will probably end around 1pm. Bus will bring us back to school.
