Here's an update regarding the course work planned by our young unit leaders from a year3 :) Hope that all of you have learnt something from it!:)
Our first station was at the 3rd floor gym where we were told to wheelbarrow across three tracking signs and decipher one of them. Next, we had to go to the tennis court and climb over the walls. We were given a total of 20 minutes to complete these tasks. As our patrol completed early, we played the squirrel and tree game. From this game, we can learn that we should have more team spirit. We those qualities, each and every one of us will feel connected and bonded as a patrol and activities we go through together will be much more memorable too.
Our second station was at open space level 5 where we had to transport a "golden mushroom". This requires a lot of communication within the patrol and the patrol leader. Also, the patrol must listen and follow the patrol leader's instructions and not do things by themselves.
The third station was at the staircase behind the flagpoles. The year 2s had to light up a fire. Next, the year 2s will follow the year 4s and commando crawl up the stairs while the year threes are to go on their own. The year 3s have to tie a rope ladder for the patrol to climb down safely. After ensuring the stability of the ladder, the whole patrol is to go down the ladder. This station is to test our skills, the year 2s the firelighting skills and year 3s whether they know how to tie a rope ladder.
The next station was at level 1 linkway. It was the minesweeper station. However this time, they incorporated the snake and ladder life size board game. As the year 2s have never tried before, the patrol leader had a hard time trying to support them as they made their way.
Lastly, it was the station and 3F and 3G. We had to transport the holy water while doing the caterpillar walk. Then they tested our first aid skills and also carrying the stretcher through obstacles. Team spirit is very important and we have to look out for one another.
This OJ is very meaningful and memorable as it has a special theme and a special aim. I am sure all the guides enjoyed it.
