Cadets, please note the following details for Red Cross Youth Challenge. If interested, please let the teachers know asap as we need to submit the list of names by 29 October.
In line with MOE’s vision to provide a challenging environment for our youth leaders of tomorrow, we are pleased to invite your school unit’s participation in Red Cross Youth (RCY) Challenge 2010. RCY Challenge 2010 aims to create a platform for experiential learning and leadership development, and to allow participants to challenge themselves beyond their limits!
This year, the RCY Challenge will be inviting delegates from various Asian countries to participate in this Challenge. These delegates will team up with your cadets and travel to several destinations in Singapore (such as Sentosa, Zoo, Pulau Ubin and the Central Business District) to take part in a series of exciting challenges and discoveries.
Challenges and discoveries range from outdoor survival skills to discovering the heritage of Singapore. The slogan of for this year's "TheRED Race" is "Ready, Excite, Discover!". Participants can look forward to a fun-filled 4 Days 3 Nights of new friendships, excitement and discovery.
This will be a rare opportunity for the campers to meet fellow Red Cross members from the Asian countries. During Cultural Night, they will be able to better appreciate and understand the cultural differences and the various National Red Cross Societies through exhibitions and performances. The camp will reach its climax during the Campfire, when all the campers will have a good time with songs, dance and cheers.
The RCY Challenge would also allow participants to fulfill the criteria for National Youth Achievement Award (NYAA) Bronze and National Heritage Badge while immersed in the 4 days of exciting and challenging activities such as:
