Introduction to Project Orion II

Project Orion II - Rovering with Turtles
is the 4th Scouts of the World Award (SWA) Voluntary Service Project of the SWA Singapore Base.

The 2nd installment of this project will be led by 9 youths from Singapore and they will return to Setiu, Terengganu, where the pioneer team had left their legacy a year ago.

The primary aim of the team would be the conservation of sea turtles, but that would not be their only contribution during the project duration of 26th June to 10th July. The 9 passionate youths will also be involved in mangrove replanting, repair work for the villagers and WWF info centre and English and conservation awareness education for the children.

Search for our Mascot begins!

Right after we got back from Sentosa, Sijie suggested that we search for Build A Bear Workshop in Vivo City that makes soft toys before having lunch. However, the team was in for a surprise when the shop assistant told us that the 'turtle skin' is temporary out of stock island wide!

Next stop, Toys"R"Us! We combed the entire store for any sights of turtle but to no avail. Soon after, the team parted ways in Vivo City. On 17th June 2010, I decided to try my luck in Vivo City to search for any traces of turtle soft toys.

After half an hour of search, I finally found it in one of the shops on first floor. The turtle I bought was the second last piece. Lucky me!
