STC 08

hello guides(:

this post is about STC 08 (28&29 May)

we started off with Camp Development. After the experience in PLTC, sec3s managed to build a more accurate Kitchen Tent in a faster speed than the last time we built it(: However, the tripods of our Kitchen Dresser fei jiao-ed and the Fire Altar was unstable. Therefore, we learnt that measurements have to be taken more accurately and when we have to dajindi, we have to choose a better ground (one without stones underneath). Also, there should be an improvement of our sense of urgency.



Outdoor Cooking. Patrols had to compete to get the bag with more food. Every patrol is given 3-6 matches by Pinqi to start the fire. We thought it was mission impossible but most patrol managed to start the fire using 1 matchstick per pit (: However, bricks are to be aligned correctly when there are sufficient and time should be taken note of as we exceeded time limit. PLs are to remember to ask for time extention too.



Patrol Activity. This is the first time sec3s are to plan an activity for juniors. For our patrol, it didn't follow exactly as what we planned but we still observed that sec1s have to improve on their lashes.



Strike Tent. Sec3s were called to one side thus sec2s were to give instructions on striking tents. It rained while they strike tent and many ran in and displayed sense of urgency. Hopefully, this sense of urgency would not only be displayed in rainy times but in all activities of guides(:



Physical Training. 2 patrols to a group to pass 4 stations.
1st station: Murderer game while holding water pail in leg raise position.
"Murderer" is to learn to estimate the manpower needed to hold the pail.
2nd: Wheelbarrow to match pairs of cards & return in "Mr Siva's kneeling walk".
To test our communication skills, which failed for my patrol with no cards flipped open.
3rd: Know your school better.
PL is to learn to check that patrol mates can cope and manpower is evenly spread out.
4th: Crabwalk & Commando Crawl.
Usan finished crabwalking in 7 seconds(: that shall be all of our target. beat that(:

Obstacle Journey. 2 patrols to a group to pass 4 stations too.
1st station: Gas Room.
Casualties are unconscious (carried out by stretcher) and pregnant, about to give birth. Notes to be improved (: We have to remember to open windows too! After that, we have to carry the lightest person in the patrol to the next station.
2nd station: Electric Fence & Emergency Shelter.
There should be strategising before actions and skills on building emergency shelter has to be improved.
3rd station: Traditional Games.
Sec2s took charge while Sec3s ding-ed in many positions. There should be constant cheering and bao shi (:
4th station: Minesweeper.
Yeap, strategise too (:


Yeap, in all, we have to take care of our patrol mates and our belongings and not let it get kupped many many times, especially during campD. Time has to be taken note of too.
However, hope that STC bonded our coy furthur and yay.
