How to be a White Stag?

When I first started out as a tenderfoot... I wondered why was it called White Stag. Why can't it be something more stylish and powerful? Not many people do really go about and understand why the unit name is chosen this way and not that.

White as for purity. The purity of the soul as well as the things we do. As Stags, we move about in the fields, with nothing to fear and nothing to be ashamed of. We go as one and leave no one behind.

Stags are honourable creatures. They are a family and they stick together. Irregardless of race, language, or religion... White Stag is a family.

I used to envy those 'high-high' schools that had lots of achievement and awards. I aimed to be like them, however as time goes by... I realised, it isn't our culture at all. Pursuing awards and fame is a personal thing in White Stag, but never a troop thingy. We do not enforce nor push Stags to go about doing things... we only educate and encourage the Stags to go for things they believe in. Just like the slogan I lived by during my school days, 'We believe we can achieve". I believed and I achieved. Nothing is impossible, as what Missy said: 'I M Possible'.

What's worse than failing a test? To lose your own self into delusion, or to lose a minor battle that will eventually be a stepping stone that will change your life forever? I asked him just now, 'What is your ambition in life?'. He replied, 'To be a good and useful citizen that will contribute to the society.' I know it's kinda text-book answer, but I'm glad that he is moving that direction.

What is my goal as a leader? To train and guide young ones like him to be a better person each day. To allow him to use his skills to guide and teach others, just like how the Scout Promise and Law states. Apart from all his mistakes, I pray that one day, he will understand my meaning of life... isn't all about just a report.

To enjoy life isn't so difficult... it's how you decide to do it. Right, Huda?

To see me botak isn't so difficult, you just got to wait for another year. Right, Euodia?

To need me to accompany you whenever you are bored, it's just a sms away. Right, Stefy?

To go out on a date to relax and let loose, it's just time and place. Right, suicide partner?

To endure the pain of loneliness and face reality, it's just courage. Right, Mel?

To move forward amidst all the trouble you are facing in running the events, it's just a matter of management and endurance. Right, Hippo?

To go after a girl that you love and yet doesn't want to admit it, is that it... Bear?

To enjoy your dance like never before, it doesn't really matter what others say. Right, Macaw?

To carry on living your life happily, yet dis-connecting with your friends. Is that too much to ask, Wan Ting?

To live blindly, believe blindly, love blindly, study blindly, fight blindly... is that right, Marlin? Maybe I'm such an idiot at times too.

Whatever it is, friends out there... if you need me, I'll try my best to be there. For You.
