Project Orion - Rovering with Turtles
is the 2nd Scouts of the World Award (SWA) Voluntary Service Project of the SWA Singapore Base.

Led by 9 Rover Scouts from Singapore and Malaysia, the project is set upon

the beautiful wetlands and beaches of Setiu, Terengganu.

Lasting 16 days from 20th June to 5th July, the team will not only be contributing to the

conservation of sea turtles, but will also be involved in mangrove replanting,
repair work for the villagers and WWF info centre, English and conservation awareness education,
assistance in the local women's cottage industry amongst many others.

"Leave the place a little better than you first found it." - Lord Baden Powell
UPDATE: The blog will be updated from time to time with more turtle new issues. However, Project Orion blog will be replaced by the next project when it starts with the new team. So, DO STAY TUNED!

Fillmore the Sea Turtle - Sherman's Lagoon


Fillmore
Sherman's pensive sidekick provides the anchor of sensibility to an otherwise eccentric cast. Not that Fillmore is a normal, well adjusted sea turtle; far from it. He's bookish and slightly pompous, however he's sensitive and principled, and right most of the time. He likes to wax philosophical and longs for an intellectual soul mate, preferably a she-turtle. Though at times he finds it unbearable to keep company with a shark who eats the gum off the bottom of theater seats, Fillmore secretly envies Sherman's complete lack of self-awareness.
