Meeting started with the horse shoe and Colour Party. Leonard Lee did the flag break, while Baloo was the Scout Leader-in-attendance. Cubs then fell in Indian File. Baloo practised some foot drill with the Cubs, with some basic commands like Senang Diri, Sedia, KeKanan Pusing and KeKiri Pusing.

The guides then brought the cubs, in their respective teams, to the Pelican Cove, where all the 7 species of pelicans were housed. Another surprise was unveiled – there is actually another species, the Peruvian Pelican, who is a close relative to the Brown Pelican. Perhaps one would be brought to the BirdPark next year t
