Introduction

Project Orion III - Rovering with Turtles is the 5th Scouts of the World Award (SWA) Voluntary Service Project of the SWA Singapore Base.

The 3rd instalment of this project will be led by 9 Singapore Rovers. They will return to Setiu
, a main district in Terengganu, Malaysia where previous instalments of Project Orion were featured.

The primary aim of this project would be the conservation of sea turtles. In addition, the team of 9 will also be involved in Mangrove Replanting, Repair Work for the Village and the World Wildlife Fund for Nature - Malaysia (WWF-Malaysia) who has an Information Centre at Seitu, as well as educating the youths about Conversation efforts and the English Language from the 16th to 30th June 2011. The team will also take charge of the construction and installations of signboards at hatchery and mangrove reforestation sites.

Rest & Relax @ Pulau Lang Tengah! (Day 12-14)

By the 11th day – 26th June, Project Orion III completed all objectives of this expedition project! After the huge BBQ meal graciously prepared by PEWANIS, the team retired for the night to prepare for the next phase of the trip- our R&R at Pulau Lang Tengah!

We departed on the 27th June and arrived at Pulau Lang Tengah after a 45 minutes Boat Ride. We had lunch shortly after we arrived.  The resort was truly a treat for the team and we even attempted Snorkelling on the second day we were at Pulau Lang Tengah. The following are some photos of the resort as well as our Snorkelling activities! J

The following ‘Eat. Sleep. Dive’ was imprinted on a T-shirt which Eddy bought it at one of the stalls by the roads at the jetty.  Basically what we did during R&R were the above. It summarizes the entire stay at D’Coconut :D


On the 29th June, we returned to Kampong Mungkuk – The Pink House for the last night of the trip and we will depart from here to the airport tomorrow at 1400 hours.

We are coming home tomorrow! There will be a final post from Seitu, Terengganu before we return. Stay tuned & once again, thank you for reading! J
