11.00 a.m.: S.M. Foo Chong Choon came and showed us how to make and light a Pyramid Fire. We had not only to light the fire but also prepare our tifffin for the day. Our Headmaster, Mr. F. L. Shaw was also present and he went round with our S.M. to have a look at the results of our efforts in the culinary arts.

1.00 p.m.: We had our tiffin in camp and so did not go home for the afternoon.

2.30 p.m.: A.D.C. Akbar gave us instruction in tracking till 4.30 p.m.

4.30 p.m.: The S.M. inspected our cooking places to find out if we had left any tell-tale signs of having cooked our meals or not, for real good Scouts should not leave any such signs behind. All rubbish should be either burned or buried in a pit. I would advise those Scouts who go for picnics in future to note this important point. After the inspection of the cooking sites the tent was struck by the Tiger Patrol as no scout would have liked to remain for the night.

5.15 p.m.: We were dismissed.

This was the third and last day of the course. Those present were:

4.40 p.m.: We were dismissed by the S.M. and went home feeling certain that we had spent three useful days in learning what we hope to pass on to our brother Scouts when the school re-opens.
