2026 Group Address
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
First, I would like to congratulate our eight Chief Commissioner Award recipients of 2025. Your achievement is truly outstanding and makes all of us very proud.
I would also like to commend our Scouts who represented our Group at the SG60 Jamboree. It was a significant national event held once every 10 years, and this edition commemorated Singapore’s 60th year of independence. I hope you had great fun and gained meaningful experiences through your participation.
As a team, we successfully organised our 60th Anniversary Campfire, graced by Mr. Edward Chia, Grassroots Adviser to Zhenghua. I would like to specially commend Scouter Eugene Lwa for leading the organising team. It was a proud and memorable evening, with one of the highest attendances by our old boys and girls. Well done to everyone involved!
Two years ago, I spoke about one final mission before passing on the baton — to take our Group from good to great.
To achieve this, I shared three key strategies last year:
First, Education and Communication.
Second, Bringing Our Mission to Life
Third, A Growth and Sustainability Mindset.
This year, I would like to announce two strategic actions we are taking:
By introducing competitive and organisational elements from NPC into our camp operations, we aim to elevate planning standards, strengthen ex*****on, and deepen leadership development and scouting experiences across our programmes.
By moving into Community Scouting, we aim to extend our impact beyond schools into the wider community, This will enable alumni and those who wish to contribute to serve and mentor, strengthen leadership continuity, and ensure our Group remains sustainable and relevant for the future.
Much work remains, but these key initiatives will surely move us closer to fulfilling our mission.
United, we will achieve greatness.
Yours in Scouting,
Lai Chan Hong, Freeman
Group Scout Leader, TFSG
