The Birth of NDP Angels

Dear Cadets and Instructors,

Since the dawn of existence, there have always been moments when the course of history shifted. Such a turning point is upon us now. On the 3rd of June 2006, NDP Angels will descend on earth to begin their quest.

The Objectives of the NDP Angels are:
- To bridge the gaps between fellow cadets or “Angels and Mortals” (Mortals are to guess their angel on National Day)
- To bring fun and enjoyment into NDP

All Angels are required to work by the Angel Code strictly to accomplish their objectives.

The Angel Code
1. Thou shall obey the ArchAngels’ will at all times.
2. Thou shall not reveal your mortal’s identity to anyone unless with the approval from the ArchAngels (Blogs included).
3. Thou shall not reveal your action plans for your mortal to anyone unless with the approval from the ArchAngels (Blogs included).
4. Thou shall not mete out personal attacks to fellow Angels and Mortals (Blogs included).
5. Thou shall offer DIY gifts or keep gifts within $2.
6. Thou shall send messages of love and concern to thy Mortal regularly.

All Angels will be ranked for all the merits they have done. Angels are required to do good deeds for their mortals and accomplish missions to attain a rank in the Angel Corps. The Ranks and Criteria are as follows:



To celebrate and commemorate the Birth of the NDP Angels, all Angels are to write a Testimonial on "Why You Joined NDP" to their respective Mortals, to enlighten them about thy wishes, aspirations and goals for NDP.

This is thy first step up the Angel Ranks, do take thy work seriously and be cautious not to disclose thy identity or clues to thy identity to thy Mortal.

Join thee my fellow Angels! And be the Light to Shine over All Mankind!

-The ArchAngel...

Your NDP Attendance and You

Dear Cadets,

The mediocre attendance of the National Day Parade 2006 Red Cross Youth Marching Contingent is a disturbing issue as of late.

It is important for the NDP 06 RCY Marching Contingent to field a full contingent with reserves as standby for every training organized. It is also important for YOU, the participant, to attend not less than 85% of the organized trainings to secure your place in the Main Contingent and the CCA points that come with your active participation.

The National Day Parade 2006 Red Cross Youth Marching Contingent Committee will not hestitate to remove any Cadet found practising absenteeism from organized trainings.

The Committee also seek the Cadets' cooperation in attending every organized training diligently, punctually and actively.

To caution Cadets on the verge of being charged of absenteeism, the Committee is making known the attendance records of past trainings to all Cadets. To view the records, click here.

The Committee would like to appeal to all Cadets to remind one another of the committments and responsibilities of a NDP 06 RCY Marching Contingent participant.

Thank you.

NDP vs ULP

Dear Cadets,

The NDP vs ULP topic has dominated tagboard discussions recently.

ULP, or the Unit Leaders Programme, is a leadership course conducted over 4 Saturdays in May and June. As a result, Cadets will not be able to attend 4 of the NDP trainings whilst being involved in ULP. Contrary to previous years, there will not be another ULP available in December this year.

The National Day Parade 2006 Red Cross Youth Marching Contingent needs to field at least a full contingent of 64 for every training where and whenever possible. However, the Committee also recognizes the importance and value of ULP to the individual Cadets and schools.

Therefore, the National Day Parade 2006 Red Cross Youth Marching Contingent Committee strongly advises Cadets not to attend ULP unless absolutely necessary.

For Cadets who are nominated to attend ULP, the Committee requires you to contact the Project Overall In-Charge, Mr Alfian Aluyi as soon as possible.

The National Day Parade 2006 Red Cross Youth Marching Contingent Committee seeks all Cadets' understanding and cooperation.

Thank you.

147 Years of Red Cross Movement

Dear Cadets and Instructors,

The National Day Parade 2006 Red Cross Youth Marching Contingent Committee wishes all Links, Cadets, VIs and Officers alike, a happy and joyous World Red Cross Day.
