Reflections on 1/2 Activity :)

For today's guides activity, 1/2, we started off with our normal routine. We had our greetings, then uniform check. Afterwards, we had flag raising. This flag raising was very special to me as it was the sec 3s who set up the entire thing. Moreover, it was our first time and I personally felt that it was not bad for a first timer. I was looking forward to the activity because there was flag raising and we get to wear our full uniform which was really pretty and unique!

After flag raising, we had water break and the sec 2s & 3s separated into different squads. For the sec 3s, we practiced drilling 'belok' and 'yang tinggi' most of the time.

After sufficient practicing, it was our foot drill test round 1. The seniors tested our 'begerak', 'jalan' and 'hentak'. From there, the seniors picked 12 people. After taking a short water break, the selected guides had their drilling test round 2, which was to command in English and Malay, as well as set ceremonies like roll call, horse shoe or colour party. I really enjoyed this activity because commanding is new to me and having a chance to try it out is rare to me as well.
