Cub Scout - Singapore Historical Trail


quite obvious where this place is



1...2.... smile


Several weeks ago, the boys and 1 of their cub scout den mate & his sister went for the Singapore Historical Trail. It was quite a walk... about 3.5 hours walk visiting more than 20 locations... they had to answer questions along the way as well... & they took turns to do that. All in all, a good educational trip for them + all the goofing around as well! The weather at that time was great for a long walk as well!

Ok... this is not part of the exhibit!



at Singapore River - Cavenagh Bridge which was opened in 1869. Sir William Orfeur Cavenagh was the Governor of the Straits settlements in 1859 to 1867.

OK... time for Izzy Jr #2 to pen down his answer.... Question: Did Sir Stamford Raffles have a beard? (look at the statue and answer...)
