We were told to come back on 2nd Nov
for our last guides activity of the year, before a new batch of sec 1
guiders would have come in and we would all have been promoted to sec
2s, 3s and 4s. Guides activity started with the usual routine of
greeting followed by uniform check. Our program for the day was
different because we were told that we were going to have combined
activity with the scouts today, hence the special groupings. However,
some re-arranging had to be made because of the difference of the
number of guides in different groups.
After being split in our groups, with
the scouts, we played some ice-breaker games. As I had missed the
combined activity last year, I was curious as to how today was going
to be like. It was very awkward at first and I think it was because
we have gotten used to having only girls during guides activity.
However the tension in the atmosphere lessened with the senior's help
by initiating various ice-breaker games. Soon, groups started to
merge and screams and cheers could be heard.
After that, we did gadget making. We
were told to make 2 gadgets, a shoe rack and another gadget of our
choice. We started making our gadgets fairly quickly, but hesitated
at some points as we had forgotten some of the knots and lashing.
Activity ended after prizes were given
out to the groups.
All in all activity was different but fun and I enjoyed myself immensely. ^_^
