BEACH ACTIVTIES - SWIMMING AND LEARNING SAFETY


The beach is great place to learn jungle and water elements. The scouts learn how to make a campfire properly, pitch own tent, making gadgets and have fun. Most members now can survive buy making their own rice and canned foods. They can also make boiling water that can be rationed for longer stay in the jungle. 

Best of all its the swimming. Identifying danger areas and rip curls. The use of life jacket and life savers. They also learn to do knots on water which was new to most. This month is all about outdoors before next month will be filled with indoor and religious activities.

VISIT TO KAMPUNG AYER MUSEUM AND THE HEAD VILLAGER

Its starts with an exciting boat ride on the Brunei River. Its fast and only took us a few minutes across. Its also cheap! 50 cents per person. The museum is open on Sundays and open to public. Anyone can come. No pictures were allowed inside so we do not have any pictorial record. 

Anyway the visit was about knowing How Brunei was made back in the early centuries. Alot was done on the Brunei River actually. The first settlements, the government, the trading with ancient civilizations and up to the modern day Brunei we see today. Would love to story but its best to visit.


The bonus of the visit is to see the Head Villager. He was about to leave for a wedding but happy to give us 10 minutes to show us around his home stay. Anyway it was great to meet him. Off to the next weekend for more activities.
