Reflections for 14th August!

The activity on 14^th August was different from the other activities as we had Foosball initiative! In this game, we had to kick the ball into our opponent’s goal but within a restricted area. Teamwork was really important as we need to pass the ball to each other without interception. We had fun snatching the ball from one another but also had to bear the consequences of getting injured as Hannah had the tendency of kicking too hard and it hit my head once. I think that this initiative is really meaningful as it bonds not only patrol members together, but also the relationship between patrols and even both the coys. In the end for the juniors match dove patrol won! YAY J I feel that seniors had put in a lot of effort in order for us to have a fun game so thank you seniors! I hope there will be more of such initiatives in the future! J

Uniform Checklist

Hey guides,

Based on observation through the contingent and past full-uniform uniform checks, we realised that you guys are still not really sure of what we expect from you all for your full-uniform.
Please refer to this post everytime you prepare your full uniform or else any mistake there is will be counted as double punishment. (I suggest you to all screenshot the details for easier reference)

Full Uniform
1. Beret
Your beret should NEVER touch the ground.Punishment will be given once you drop your beret. When you wear your beret, the trefoil should be in the middle of your head (Ask your friend to check for you). Fold the sides and the back of your beret upwards when wearing.

2. Scarf
Likewise, your scarf should never touch the ground. As many of you are not sure of how to iron and fold your scarf, here is a step-by-step guide.


 This is the back of your scarf.

Reflection for 2 August :)

On the 2^nd of August, activity started off as usual. We greeted the seniors, had uniform check before doing row call. Subsequently, we drilled for a little bit before we went to the flagpole. There, we watched the seniors steady the large wooden pole in which the World flag is supposed to be hung. The seniors taught us how to set up the flagpole as we were already sec 2 and we had to learn how to do so on ourselves and not always rely on the seniors. :D After that, we had our 5-point test: HOME 2.1-2.2. It was about sewing a fruit.

We also learnt how to participate in a row call when you have the role of a patrol leader. It was really interesting. Overall, this guides activity was really exciting and I’m looking forward for the next activity!!  J
