Campfire Prep III, 24th May

Hi Guides!

Last Saturday, we had another campfire prep session and 集合-ed at 0800 at the GSL. Like previous prep sessions, we started off with a lecture. The first lecture conducted by Chai Ning was about the present Dunman High Guides. We learnt about the rationale behind some of our traditions such as 敬礼, and some of the changes that have occurred through the years. One takeaway from this lecture was learning that Scouting and Guiding was meant to be a game with a purpose. This is an important point to note when planning activities, it is good to incorporate some elements of fun into the activity to make it more interesting. :) The next lecture conducted by Yik Sheng and Ruo Ting was about the patrol system, in which we revisited the patrol system and how it benefited its members.

Afterwards, we mass changed into our PE attire for campfire prep in our respective committees. At 1200, we 集合-ed back at the GSL for lunch. However before we were dismissed, the Year 7s requested us to sing a song, and would not release us for lunch if our volume was not satisfactory. Even when the Year 2s and 1s sang without the Year 3s and 4s, we were still very loud :D Hence, we were broken off for lunch.

At 1300, we 集合-ed back and continued with our prep. Although we were supposed to 集合 back at 1645 to 解散 at 1700, we ended up being 解散-ed almost half an hour late as the pioneering committee was still clearing up. Hence, our sense of urgency still has much room for improvement, although the Year 7s feedback-ed that it had improved compared to the past campfire prep. Keep it up guys!:D
