NOTE: Pulau Hantu closed for renovations until mid 2019.

This little Singaporean island is a great spot for free camping. Pulau Hantu is managed by Singapore Land Authority.  So first, you need to get permission from them to go.  There is a booking form on their website: http://www.sla.gov.sg/Islands

You fill it out, scan it in and e-mail it back. The applicant is the lead person for the camp out.  Be sure to have the applicant sign, but not date the form.  The Collector of Land Revenue is the person who dates the form when they approve it. Must provide participants NRIC/FIN numbers. Send form to:  sla_enquiry@sla.gov.sg 

Cost for camping on Pulau Hantu is nothing - SLA doesn't charge any fees.  The big cost of Hantu is the ferry. After checking with SLA to make sure Hantu is available and beginning the process for approval, you will also need to book a ferry (or ferries) to get you to Hantu and back.

​

Kanlian Ferry - Fees are $321 per boat.  Each boat holds 12.  E-mail CK Ong directly at ock@kanlian.com.sg. Title the email "scout trip" as they give us a special price.  

On the day of departure, have your lead person take a copy of the SLA Approval Letter and Kanlian paid invoice with them.  Also, we have the participants bring passports and SG ID cards.  Hantu is part of Singapore, but because you are departing and returning on a ferry, they may require these.  

Buddha Tooth Relic Temple & Museum in Chinatown is just down the street from the Sri Mariaimman Temple. You could easily combine these to create a cool field trip about two different cultures and religions. Make sure girls cover their knees and shoulders.

Haw Par Villa - formerly known as the Tiger Balm Garden – is an 8.5-hectare Asian cultural park, the last of its kind in the world.

Officially opened by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in June 2005, the Malay Heritage Centre (MHC) provides wonderful cultural exposure and learning opportunities for visitors of all ages and interests. Situated amidst the Istana Kampong Gelam, Gedung Kuning and the surrounding Kampong Gelam precinct, the Centre acts as a vital heritage institution for the Malay community in Singapore.

This the ultimate experience for girls who like to get dirty - and a great team building experience.

Best way to do this is to rent and share boards. Charges will depend on number of boards. Depending on age group, you maybe want to rent less boards than participants. Say rent 6 boards and everyone has a little trial (taking turns). Total cost will be $240.

​

we could probably
put 2 boys on a board. We'd need to discuss the ratio parents:
kids. I'd say 2 kids: 1 parent if young (6-8 like Beavers); 4 kid: 1
parent if older. Parents need to be ready to get wet like swimming
after a board that is drifting

​

There are 4 instructors at the SUP School. 1 main instructor
(myself) and 3 free lance instructors (including Celine). 3 of us
are First Aid and CPR. The other instructor has the French
equivalent. We are also certified Stand Up Paddle Instructors.

Home to Singapore's last villages or kampongs, the island still retains the rustic beauty and simplicity of a bygone era. This is a great place to take Scouts. They catch a bumboat and once there, they can bike, hike, camp and more.

​

We have three campsites on Pulau Ubin – Jelutong, Mamam and Ubin Living Lab (Endut Senin) Campsites. There is no booking system for our campsites, we encourage all parties to share and accommodate our campsites. May I know which one you are intending to camp in, so that we can check further if there are other larger groups who have informed us?

There are public toilet blocks and designated campfire pits (demarcated with 4 wooden logs) in each campsite. Open fires are only allowed inside the designated campfire pits. Showers are available in the public toilets at Ubin Living Lab (ULL). The opening hours for ULL are 9.30am to 4.30pm (all keys to be returned/obtained within the opening hours). 

Please note that for all activities involving more than 40 pax on the island, event organisers will need to fill in this application form as attached. Please be reminded to attach the programme/activities/itinerary of your event, and conduct your own risk assessment.

We wish to remind all participants and the organiser to abide by the rules and regulations that govern Pulau Ubin. These regulations can be found here. Failure by any participants or the organiser to abide by the rules may result in immediate halt of the event and/or prosecution.

​

A fantastic place to learn all about river wildlife. There are also panda bears on display.

What a cool experience for kids! They let you climb in the ambulance and fire trucks and explain everything inside and out. One of the top firefighters was a woman when we went which was such a good thing for girls to see.

Dedicated to telling the stories of Singapore’s sporting aspirations, the Singapore Sports Museum is Singapore’s first sports-related Museum and welcomes sports training academics, international sporting organisations, as well as curious minds from locally and abroad! 

They have info on a special ‘Animal Hero‘ program through which the girls have to make a presentation to their class/friends and gather a few signatures to get a certificate. We added an Animal Hero button as part of the reward.

This place rocks! The museum will organize cool games for the girls to play teaching the value of money. They can even MAKE their own money! It’s about $30/boy, but very educational.
