This year's gathering organised by the 1st Unit Rangers was a major success. The theme "faces of Creation" highlights the diversity in our nation. It is a reminder to us all that we are all different, yet the same. We were created by the Almighty and put on earth for a purpose. Therefore, everyone should realise this and seize the opportunity God has given us to make a difference in the world around us. The general objective of the gathering is to build a common understanding and relationship between schools especially among the scouts and guides.
On the 19th of February 2005, more than 400 scouts, guides and rangers mainly from schools in Klang Valley attended this event. Upon registration, they were given a programme book before proceeding to the canteen for breakfast which was provided.
The gathering started at 9.30am sharp after everyone was seated in the hall. The roll call was announced after a speech by our teacher advisor. Next up, was the ice breaker ~ 'bomb game'. The game was fun with every school oozing with competitive spirit whilst gleefully trying to outdo one another. The audience was entertained by songs sang by our fellow rangers. As for the games section, we had, 'Building a mini gadget', 'Coconut painting', 'Happy Family', 'Burst the balloons', and 'Pass the egg'.
With all the fun and excitement, everyone forgot about the time and by then, it was time for the closing ceremony which saw each school received a souvenir as an acknowledgment for their presence. The singing of 'Taps' thus ended the gathering.
It was truly a memorable and enjoyable day.

Gathering Message
Greetings and a warm welcome to everyone present here today. The flame burns on and it's time for us to open our doors once again to the familiar faces we often see in the exciting world of scouts, rangers and guides. This gathering would not be successful and meaningful without your presence and full support.
I am honoured to be entrusted with this responsibility to organise our 5th Annual Gathering today. Working towards this gathering has indeed been a tough and challenging task but it is an enriching and rewarding one. This year's theme,"Faces of Creation" brings the meaning of different culture, personality, race , habits together in the world of guiding and scouting.
Next, I would like to thank our beloved principal, Puan Hong Yin Wah, our teacher advisors, Cik Yap Yoke Fong and Puan Munarita for their invaluable advice, the organising committee for helping more I could ever help them, the various sponsors for their generosity, and not forgetting our very own 1st Unit Rangers and 5th and 17th P.J.
