10 September Monday PA

Hi Guides!(:

On 10 September, we had our usual Monday PA(: This was the first PA after returning from the September holidays:D This time, PA was only up to 5pm, then we had East Division Day preparation(:

P1 PA!

Firstly, the Year 2s and Year 1s were tested on how to build emergency shelters. The Year 2s had to build one each, while 2 Year 1s built one together, within the given time limit. They built emergency shelters a total of 4 times, first given 4 minutes, then 3.5 minutes, then 3 minutes twice.

Next, they were given 10 minutes to build a simple clothes line. They were given a set of 木 and it was up to them how they wanted to build it, as long as it was stable. The suggested solution was 2 tripods with 定脚 and a 长木 through the top.

Then, the Year 2s and Year 1s had to mass change in and out of their Guides Uniform a total of 3 times(: The time they were given to change were shortened after each time in order to increase their sense of urgency!:)

P2 PA!

For P2, they had a 45 minutes Patrol Corner, during which they went through the OJ from previous 集合, for example all the mistakes and areas of improvement. The patrol also revised the building of emergency shelters and patrol Flagpole.

Afterwards, they had creative gadgets for 35minutes. They were given various 木 and 5 minutes of planning, followed by 20 minutes for completing the actual gadget(: It was a chance for the patrol to revise their lashes and tap on their creativity(:

P3 PA!

For P3, they spent 15 minutes thinking through the previous OJ and were given feedback about their performance. Afterwards, the patrol was given 25 minutes to complete 1 Kitchen Dresser. The Year 2s, having submitted a proposal drawing of the Kitchen Dresser, were informed of their mistakes, etc.(:

P4 PA!

For P4, the patrol revised the things they were unsure about during the previous OJ. They were given 15 minutes to complete 1 signal fire and 1 simple water filter. They were then given a debrief during which they were told the areas of improvement they could work on(:

Afterwards, they went through some basic hands-on First-Aid. The patrol was shown how to tie a large arm sling, elevation sling, head bandage, and also more about immobilizing techniques such as splinting(:


P5 PA!

For P5, they had Outdoor Cooking using 原子炉 and 原子蜡!(:

For the first 30 minutes, the patrol revised and practiced how to tie Emergency Shelters. Afterwards, they were given 45 minutes to cook and eat their food, during which they also went through the mistakes  made by the patrol for the previous OJ:)

P6 & P7 PA!

For P6 and P7, for the first 30 minutes, they spilt into their separate patrols for reviewing through the previous OJ. Afterwards, the patrols had to change into their Guides Uniform for three times, each time limit becoming shorter and shorter:)

Then, they had a Lashes Competition between P6 and P7 which involved PT and practicing their lashes as well. Both patrols had to 顶girls’ style in 2 rows, and for each round, one person of each patrol commando crawled to the 木 and 白绳 placed some distance away. Once the person reached, she had to start tying the lash /knot assigned to her on the spot.  Upon finishing the lash / knot, she has to run back to join the patrol(:

P8 PA!

For P8, they had Outdoor Cooking using a Fire Altar!(:

The patrol was given 20 minutes to set up a fire on the Fire Altar, followed by 20 minutes to cook their food. Afterwards, they had 35 mintues to eat their food and during which reviewed through the previous OJ(:

P9 PA!

For the first 5 minutes, the patrol wrote their thoughts and opinions regarding the previous OJ. After that, they played games for 15 minutes: Murderer, Trying to talk with water in the mouth, and Concentration, as a gentle start to their PA :)  Then, the Year 2s and Year 1s were given 25 minutes to complete 1 Flagpole, followed by debrief(:

P10 PA!

For P10, they had Gadgeting for 55minutes, followed by PT for 35minutes(:

Firstly,the patrol was given 45 minutes to complete one Kitchen Dresser cum Baggage Rack, which the Year 2s suggested in a proposal. Every 3 minutes, 3 people had to come out and tie one Emergency Shelter on their own while the rest continued tying the gadget. This went on for the entire duration of time they spent tying the Kitchen Dresser cum Baggage Rack(:

For PT, the patrol played Captain's Ball for 15 minutes. Afterwards, the 15 minutes left were split into 3 parts, each lasting for 5 minutes.

1.    Every patrol member is to cling onto the pillars supporting the monkey bar and stay in that position for 5 minutes(:

2.    The patrol will 站马 for 5 minutes while supporting a patrol member who will be lying on a stretcher. The stretcher will be built beforehand and the patrol will be in that position in 2 lines, so the stretcher will be well supported:)

3.     Every patrol member is to be in inclined pull up position while shouting guides cheers. For every 3 words, they are to pull up once(:
