Finally!

On the 21st and the 22nd of February2009 was actually one of the happiest moments in my Scouting journey for the past 7 years. Actually one of the very few moments I was pretty proud with.

On the 21st of February, I went for my so called last part of my probationary period to becoming a full fledged Rover Scout. My vigil night. Looking at it in a way it was quite scary as I was left alone in the dark "forest" of Bukit Kiara with nothing but my Scout Uniform, a pen, a few pieces of paper, a burning candle and of course my personal belongings to go through my final test on my physical and my mental strength. I was indeed an experience which I will never forget and I did realized somethings which I haven't realized all along yes there are something in the paper of questions which made me think really really deeply and consider for a change in life. Some of the questions did hit my emotions and some did give me some pain for what I have been doing wrong for the past 19 years I've been alive which God the Almighthy has given me. After enduring about almost 2 hours of mental and physical bombardment, it was finally the end of the vigil night and it was left for the my Rover Crew Executives to discuss whether me and 3 more squires had what it takes to be a somewhat a full fledge Rover Scout.

Next come the 22nd of February. Yes this very day is a special day for me, as a Scout. It's Founder's day of course. Yes it's our Scout movement founder's Birthday, the late, Lord Baden-Powell. Not only it was Founder's Day but also the very day I had my first AGM with my crew since 2 years I've been with them. On this very day and this very evening during the meeting, I was being pronounced as a full fledge Rover by my Scoutermaster, Scouters, and Lay Committee members. Yes this time I received my red Rover epaultes bearing the word "KELANA" which means Rover. I didn't managed to ask a friend to snap a picture for me but I did took a picture of 2 at home of the red epaulets I received.

This red epaulets are special as I can see and they are custom made by one of our crew's suppliers for badges and stuff and it's different from those which can be obtained from the uniform shops outside.

Ah....... I am still so so so happy even after 2 days of the AGM.
