Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary Day Trip! By: The Boss 1 comment

On the 5th of June, on a bright and clear Saturday morning, the Adventure Rangers of Selangor #6 organized a day trip to Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary, for a day of fun-filled adventure and outdoor activities. There were many excited faces that day and all of us did not know what kind of suprises were waiting for us. There was plenty of hiking, eating and lots of leech bites. The highlight of the day was the Elephant rides.

A total of 17 Adventure Rangers and 6 leaders attended this day trip and we're glad to say that everyone had a fantastic time bonding and going thru the day's activities together. All of us gathered in church at 7am and before leaving in 2 vans, were divided into 2 patrols (Gajah Biru patrol and Gajah Putih patrol). They were asked to make a report about the whole trip from the beginning till the end.

We left church at 7:30am and reached the elephant sanctuary at 10:30am. The 1st activity of the day was feeding the elephants . The rangers took the opportunity to feed the elephants sugar cane and touch the elephant's trunk . After feeding the elephants, the next activity was the elephant rides. For all the rangers, this is the 1st time riding an elephant. They were excited indeed.

Next on the agenda was jungle trekking. It was a hike trough rugged terrain, through mud, and finally had to cross a river to reach our destination which was the Deer Farm. As we were hiking, the group suddenly broke into 2. As the 1st group was fast, and got separated from the 2nd group. The 2nd group had to wait for them as the guide went to search for the 1st team.

We had hiked for almost 3 hours. We were so tired at the end of the jungle trekking. Many of us also had leech bites on our legs. After washing up and changing into fresh clothes, we finally had time to sit down and have our lunch and snacks. After a group photo, we left at 5:30pm and as we were coming home, we got caught in a terrible traffic jam for 2 hours. We stopped at McDonalds in Subang Jaya for dinner...a treat from the commanders. With our bellies full, we finally reached home at 10pm.

Gathered at church at 7am. 17 rangers and 6 leaders present!

Here's Cmdr. Wei Chuan showing us the perfect spot to lie down after a busy and tiring day of climbing trees and swinging from canopy to canopy like monkeys...age catches up! ;)

Well...what can I say, it's been a fantastic day out for these kids and the commanders too! Apart from the outdoor adventures, it was also a great day of bonding between the leaders and the rangers, sharing many memorable moments together which we will remember for a long, long time to come!

Many thanks to all the commanders who made this trip possible and for ensuring the safety of the rangers throughout the entire duration of the trip. It's been a fantastic trip this time, and we look forward to the next outing with much anticipation.

That's all for now. Do join us for the next upcoming outdoor adventure that RR has to offer. Stay tuned and watch this page for event updates! God bless...

E-Rangers Survival Camp 2010! By: The Boss No comments

On the 17-19th of March 2010, the Expedition Rangers of Selangor #6 GTAK held its annual ER Survival Camp (plus another night of low-impact camping). A total of 18 rangers and 6 commanders attended this year's edition of our much-awaited Survival Camp held in an undisclosed location in KKB. And what an awesome camp we had this time! 3 fantastic days of valuable camping and survival experience.

As part of the requirement to complete the Silver Wilderness Survival merit, the rangers were required to go for a overnight camp in the forest, build their own shelter from native materials, catch and cook their meals, start a fire without using matches, keep the fire going all night long, and most importantly...survive the night! Well, I'm glad to say that all 18 of them made it through the night extremely well and we're all really proud at how they performed out there! Well done, boys and girls...

Dinner time! Here's ranger Vanessa with her dinner - alive and kicking!

After a night of surviving the wild forest, what a relief to be back in base camp the day after! Here's Cmdr Reuben & Cmdr Julian conducting the de-briefing.

What would you do the morning after Survival Camp? Sleep and tie yourself up in the hammock, for safety.
