Theme DefinitionASPIRE, PERSPIRE, INSPIRE We the 02 Kinta Scout Troop, sincerely invite your Troop / Coy / Unit to attend our Gathering this year on the 13th of June 2015. ASPIRE, PERSPIRE, INSPIRE the theme finalized for this years gathering after hours of discussionDefinitionOur theme Aspire,Perspire,Inspire basically means no matter who we are, or from whichever background we come from , we all have ambitions and goals in life to fulfill. To strive for success, hardwork and determination plays an important role .

The theme idea was hugely inspired by the Red Indians . Their tales of starting from the bottom and today seemingly on top of the world is a huge factor we have followed suit. Their attempts on new ideas and using their knowledge to the fullest is an example for all scouts and guides out there . Finding new solutions and perspiring will help develop scouting to a whole new level.

If we learn from mistakes and perspire as one , we will ,without a doubt inspire our future generation to achieve greater heights likewise how the Red Indians had a huge influence in todays world.Red is used as our theme colour as it represents the fire burning in us. We have to unleash this fire to achieve and strive in life.
