My scouting journey

 This was the fire at the 2023 campfire a very captivating moment for me, though everyone was around the campfire it was silent, not a whisper only the embers crackling. This campfire was a big thing in the making. I was in charge of the fire as well as a skit. The fire work was simply arranging the wood to allow maximum efficiency and dosing the wood in kerosene. The skit was the biggest ploy, many months my patrol spent practicing and on the actual skit there were minor hiccups but it was overall successful, thankfully most of my patrol doesn't get stage fright.

Though ndp training did take a lot of time from my weekends i wouldn't have changed anything. This was a really enriching experience meeting and bonding with other people from different units and areas was very fun and learning tips and tricks from different people such at the best way to polish your boots.

It was a very fun campfire it not only allowed for me and other to bond in my troop but also gave me a chance to meet new people.  My fellow scoutmate collecting out award for loudest unit.

Sorting was not that exhilarating but it tested our teamwork as we had to remove stickers from milk jugs and put them into different compartments based on their plastic type and pass it on to the washing station. The washing station was simple as we just had to fill the bottle with a little bit of soap and water, shake it , dump the excess and dry it. The plastics are then shredded into flakes and are put into a melting press whete there was a lever we needed to press down to compress the melted plastic into the mold. It was very fun as we could just hang from the lever and press down on it, many of us tested our s...

  The book ‘Achtung Panzer!’ is a book i have been recently passionate about as i have developed a strong interest in tanks and their inner workings and strategic warfare." Achtung Panzer!" by Heinz Guderian is a seminal work in military literature,” Attention, Tank!" or, more idiomatically, "Beware the Tank!", providing deep insights into the theory and practice of armoured warfare. Guderian, a highly influential German general during World War II, pioneered the development of blitzkrieg tactics, which emphasised speed, surprise, and concentrated firepower to achieve decisive victories. The book begins by summarising the historical context of armoured warfare, tracing its evolution from the First World War to the interwar period. Guderian then delves into the principles of manoeuvre warfare, stressing the importance of mobility, initiative, and coordination between different arms of the military. He provides detailed analyses of key battles, such as the invasi...
