So the meeting was at a very nice and cosy meeting place, 4th floor Junior Block. No one disturbed us at all, which was really perfect. Only thing is its bomb hot there, dumb fan wasn't working. But other than that, we had a good 2 hr meeting from 2-4pm.

The issues we discussed were:
1. Raffles Trail
2. NYAA CIP
3. Batch Project
4. NYAA Skills
5. Batch pet
6. Friday PT
7. Campfire grouping
8. Batch Clothing
9. Scout Uniform
10. Next meeting

First thing was basically to inform them whats happening currently for RT, and clarify some stuff with them as well as tell them their roles. After that we talked about NYAA CIP and decided on doing tutoring with kids. Following that was batch project which would be den upgrading. Then NYAA skills, turns out Jon Ed's Mum agreed to teach us. Thanks a lot! We agreed to have a batch pet, a hamster. Then Friday PT was just to tell them about my plan, and we fixed the tentative timing as 2pm every Friday. For campfires, we decided to split it into groupings, and it is as follows:
1st group: Kenneth, Anurak, Soham, Joel Bryan
2nd group: Hiok Yang, Zhong Jun, Amos, Jack, Tak Wei
