Every year, the 10th Petaling Scouts of SMK Sultan Abdul Samad will have a membership drive to promote scouts to the school...especially form 1 and new students....
For 10th Petaling Scouts...membership drive is organized by the form 4 scouts...
The preparation for membership drive usually starts early of december - 1 month before january... like building up gadgets, preparing presentations, permission letters to promote..and more..
When school reopens(january)...everything should be almost done or already done...the promotion takes place in the first few weeks of school...
Membership Drive 2009's gadget site(campsite - for display)....
The main entrance....gadgets are built by tying knots between mangroove wood(bakau)...jute ropes,raffia strings,nylon ropes and more.. are the materials used for tying...hardwork from scouts to build up the gadget... so please respect their hardwork =)
Notice : DANGER ! Do not enter the campsite without permission from Form 4 Scouts ! hahaha...
A tripod tower(a three-legged pyramid shaped gadget) to put up the Malaysia flag...
Tents....we sleep in these during outdoor camps...and sometimes sleep in it during indoor camps(based on situation) too...
2 tripod gadgets, 1 quadpod gadget(4 legged pyramid shape), and a "shortcut" hour-glass(X-shaped gadget, where the platform at the top part)..
There are these nylon ropes tied on the gadget and on an anchor(the wood stabbed into the ground)...they are used to stabilise(fixed to the position) the gadget...making it more stationary and safe for people to go up the gadget...
Suspension bridge...a bridge hanging in the air and tied to both ends of the gadgets...
This is how it looks like...trying to cross the suspension bridge...
Going up to the hour-glass...
Talking about gadgets....this is an example of what scouts can do...
Malaysia book of records for the tallest man-made scout pioneering gadget in Malaysia...
By the Shiang Yang 219th Kinta Open Scout Troop of Perak....they built this gadget during the mid-year of 2008...I went for the camp to visit the gadget too...around 12~14 floors high - 40~43 metres if not mistaken...
