One Pressing Issue the World faces

One pressing issue that the world faces today is climate change. Climate change refers to the long-term changes in temperature, precipitation patterns, and other weather-related phenomena that are occurring as a result of human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation.





Climate change poses significant risks to the environment, human health, and the global economy. It has already led to rising sea levels, more frequent and severe natural disasters, and changes in plant and animal populations. Climate change also contributes to air pollution, water scarcity, and food insecurity, particularly in vulnerable communities.

Addressing climate change requires collective action at the global, national, and local levels. This includes reducing greenhouse gas emissions through transitioning to renewable energy sources, promoting energy efficiency, and investing in green technologies. It also involves protecting and restoring natural ecosystems, promoting sustainable land use and agriculture practices, and building resilience to climate impacts through adaptation measures.While the challenges of climate change are significant, there are also many opportunities for innovation, collaboration, and positive change. By working together to address climate change, we can build a more sustainable and equitable future for all.

Venture Epaulettes Presentation

  At the break of dawn on 22 February 2023, the same day we commemorate Founder's Day, My batch mates and I were presented with our Venture Maroon Epaulettes in front of the troop. This signified the halfway mark of our Venture Training Programme. I was very fortunate to have AVSL Andrew Toh and Rover Sio Jia En to don on the epaulettes for me as they were exemplary role models and leaders to me. Ventures of 2007 batch  With the new Venture Epaulettes presented to us, it marks a new chapter in our scouting and venturing journey and we are excited for more to come as we work towards our Venture berets!
