Dunman High Scout Group 55th Anniversary Campfire

55th Anniversary Campfire Gateway

30th July 2011 marked a significant milestone in the history of Dunman High Scout Group as we had our 55th Anniversary Campfire.

That, however, only skims the surface of it, as it was a night of many firsts, some more significant than others.

It was the first campfire organised in 10 years, as the last campfire, the 45th anniversary, was in 2001.

It was also the first campfire organised in the years after Mr Teo’s retirement.  To those in the know, Mr Teo Tiong Hin was the GSL of DHS Scout Group, and an active Scout Leader for many years.

To finish off the list, it was also the first campfire organised at the spanking new school premises at Tanjong Rhu.

But, on many other levels, it was pretty much business as usual in a DHS campfire.

A customary Lion Dance Performance from our own Lion Dance Troupe.

Chek Chek Kolek, from our own Mr Joe Wong (a former Chief Commissioner no less)

And on the whole, a night of revelry, camaraderie and memories to last a lifetime.

Good job to the organisers Weixuan, Ruiyang and team.
