Hi guides!!
Last jihe, all of us participated in 2 sessions of activities, namely the traditional games and physical training.
Traditional games
Fireman's ladder:
Within 35 minutes, the year 2s and 3s had to tie a fireman's ladder and everyone to try out their structure at least once. Generally, most of the knots are not tight enough and the spars are not parallel to the ground even though measurements have been given. Moreover, we realise that most of the year 2s and 3s only use their hands and toes to support the structure, which is incorrect. To stabilise the structure, knees should also be touching the spars.
Sheng Qiao:
I believe everyone enjoyed this "checkpoint" very much as it is the first time the year 2s and 3s played with the sheng qiao. However, those supporting the structure should use more energy to pull the ying sheng or push the A-frame, so that the person doing the sheng qiao will not be touching the ground.
Physical Training
Generally, most of the patrols' spirit are quite low throughout the entire PT, because not everyone is cheering together. Year 2s and 3s should learn to take the initiative to start a cheer or song to boost the patrol's morale. However, we are glad to see some of the juniors persevering despite being exhausted. One for all and all for one. Physical training is all about pushing yourself to the limits. Giving up may seem to be the easy-way-out, but in fact it is even more torturous than pressing on as you are not only disappointing yourself , but your patrol mates as well.
Last but not least, wishing all guides a very very very HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
