Searching for?

8 November 2009

Hey guides,

Friday was pre-camp inspection. We were given 20 mins to layout our stuffs in the classrooms. All of us were at a loss of what to do and we had to ask for a time extention of 5 mins. We were slow in laying out our stuffs and most of us were unsure of where to put them. Everybody was busy running to other classrooms, checking on how other patrols layout there stuffs. It was very disorganized. Year 2s did not allocate the Year 1s what to do and they were all confused too. When the time was up, some of the guides were still late for jihe. Therefore, we had to do some pumpings.

After pumping, the seniors break us off and inspection begins. 6 groups of patrol consellors entered our classrooms one after another for inspection, checking our mealbags, shorts, plastic bags, identities, peibei, first aid kit and styrofoam boxes. For my patrol, we were unable to explain the reasons for using a paticular colour/material and our moral was quite low. We failed to standardise amongst other patrols and some things were not labeled or included where stated in the packlist. We had our attire checked too. Most of our attire were still not up to standard. For example, low socks, long fingernails, shirt not tucked in and messy hair. Therefore, we were punished for all these. We had to do starjumps, pumpings, jumping jacks, sit-ups, run rounds and burpees. Our stamina was quite bad as some fall out along the way. We have to improve on that because ATC is around the corner. After inspection, we were given 5 mins to pack and clear up. Most of the guides were punctual for jihe.

Overall, we need to have a sense of urgency and take note of our attire during guides. Similarly, we have to brush up on our skills and cheer more to keep the patrol's spirit high(:

Jiayou all for atc!
