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

Reflection for 31 July :)

On 31st July  guides started off with falling in at 245. After greeting the seniors, uniform check and taking attendance, we proceeded to doing some drilling. After which we proceeded for our initiative, which is the Chocolate Candy & Wafer Making Initiative. We firstly split into our different coys and proceeded with sitting with our own patrols. Luckily my friends were excused from that day's oral so they could take part in this initiative. This was a fun initiative as we could bond with our patrol and learn how to make chocolate candy and wafer. After the initiative, we were asked to fall in at the concourse where we did our punishments which was doing hentak for 1.5min. Although it was tiring but as guides we should have the all for one, one for all spirit so as to be able to forge a closer friendship it is through hard times that we become closer to one another. I hope we will improve on our attire and drilling in time to come (-:

All the ingredients needed for an enjoyable afternoon:)

Everyone listening attentively...

Remember to thumb in before falling in!

Rest well and stay hydrated!

Reflection for 26 July :)

Today we fell in as usual at 2.30, but CL said we were one minute late so i guess we need to improve our punctuality. After uniform check and roll call, we split into sec ones and twos and did our five point test. Sec twos were supposed to go around the school taking photos of 3 birds and 3 flowers, but since it was about to rain then, we could not spot any birds): we then proceeded into drawing our photos taken on foolscap. My group's drawing wasn't very good but i believed we tried our best!(: next, we joined the sec ones and did PT as a patrol. Today's PT was extremely fun compared to usual PTs which were extremely tiring and boring. We had balloons of different colours and my patrol's(Hibiscus) PL and AQM gave us their balloons so we had three! Yay! After PT our seniors gave us a harsh lecture about our attitude. I think it is something worth reflecting as some of our actions make it seem as if we take our seniors' efforts for granted. I hope we can improve as a whole and strive to be better!

Everyone showing team spirit! (although picture is a little blurry ;p)

Reflection for 24 July :)

Activity on the 24th of July started off with the usual: Greetings, uniform checks and roll call. After that, we drilled for a while before going up to an empty classroom do our 5-point test which included the use of markers, colour pencils, coloured pens and other decorative items. When we finished, we came down again for a little drilling.

After which, the Sec 2s proceeded to the area outside of the Innosphere, where we learnt how to hold and pass and chop wood using an axe. We also learnt about the different parts of the axe and how one should use it without injuring themselves and others around them. It was very interesting as all of us had the opportunity to try to cut a piece of wood in half. Even though all of our fingers turned black, I think all of us enjoyed this experience and would love to try it again.

We returned to the concourse and started learning some new cheers. After that came PT. Before we were dismissed, we sang a Happy Birthday Song for Jie Ai PS, Cherie PL and Sheena because it was their birthday today. I enjoyed today’s activity and I am looking forward to the next one.(:

Reflection for 19 July:D

On 19^thjuly we had our rehearsal for speech day. I wore my full guides uniform and fall in with the others at 2.20pm after putting our bags in the guides room. After a thorough uniform check, our uniform are all neat and tidy, ready for the rehearsal later on. We were told to assemble at Lecture Hall 1 for a briefing before the actual start of the rehearsal.

 As it was my first time participating in the welcoming ceremony, I was very excited and can’t wait to know what I will be doing. After the briefing, we went to the service road where we were arranged according to our height before heading to the designated area near the school hall. Fortunately, the place that we were assigned to stand was under shelter and we do not need to stand under the hot sun :). Our job was to salute to our guest of honour when he walked past us. We practised a few times with other uniform groups until we were prepared. Practice makes perfect, after a few rounds of practice, we were all ready for the big day tomorrow.  After we were released, we gathered at the concourse for our reflection. Overall, I think that the rehearsal is very fun as it is a new experience for me:).

Reflection for 17 July :D

Activity on 17 July was interesting day. We fall in at the concourse at 2.45pm and we were told to wear our full guides uniform. After greeting our seniors, we conducted uniform checks as usual. Then we did role call and horseshoe formation. I find that horseshoe formation was a very formal event and it was only once in a while that we did the formation which makes it very exciting and I look forward to having the next one.

Also it was the very first time we did a horseshoe formation since the sec 4 seniors graduated! Although we made some mistakes, it went fine and everyone gets to receive a certificate and new badges which we can proudly sew on our uniform! It makes me very happy every time we get to receive a new badge as I get a sense of achievement and accomplishment:)

After the horseshoe formation, the sec 1s and sec2s had to take our individual 5-point test. For the sec 2s, we did sewing for one test and written for the other. The sewing was quite fun as I rarely get to sew anything and it was an interesting experience for meJ

Soon, it was time to sing taps and end the guides session.

Overall, time passed really fast and we didn’t get to do much. However, I learnt many new things and received new badges and certificate. I had a fun time during this guides session and I am looking forward to the next guides session:DD

Test time!
