2 years ago... Purdy and Hylands ruled Sarimbun Campsite at PLTC 2006. Both sub-camps were being led by Wisdom Keeper and Kind Heron, respectively.

1 year ago... Solar and Lunar ruled Sarimbun Campsite at PLTC 2007. Both sub-camps were being led by Caring Cottontail and Marlin, respectively.

This year, Gilwell and Brownsea rules Sarimbun Campsite at PLTC 2008. Both sub-camps were being led by Wombat and Hairy Crab, respectively.

Patrol Leaders Training Course, where the best of the best out-shine each other. Where the next generation of future leaders began to grow. Where the strongest survive and the weakest fade away. This was the kinda camp I was in, back in 2002.

The new generation of PLTC, is where the best guides the ones that are learning. Opportunities were given to all, to step out of their comfort zone to take on new things. This is a totally different scenario, back in 2002, whereby we were force to fight for responsibilities and to out-shine, out-smart, out-look, out-wit and be outstanding.

Anyway, it was fun seeing the kids grow... although the PLTC wasn't as harsh and tough as before. It was still a place for leaders to grow. Those who survived, became better man... those who didn't, I wonder?

As each generation pass-out from PLTC, I wonder how these kids are doing now? Are they being who they want to be in life? Are they living up their dreams and purpose?

I asked this question through-out the PLTC 08... Judging from the scale of 0% to 100%, how ready are you to be a PL? Of coz, the chances of someone answering 100%, is close to none. However, most felt that they are more or less ready to take on the challenge to be a patrol leader and lead their members well.

Whatever it is, I would like to thank the committee members of PLTC 08, for giving the opportunity to be present in the camp to assist and learn from you guys.

I would also like to thank the participants of Gilwell and Brownsea sub-camp for making the camp enjoyable!!

GIlwell!
