This 集合 is the first one planned by the 51届, the newest leadership batch! During this 集合, the Guides practiced their pioneering skills.
Kitchen Table
Firstly, we built a Kitchen Table at the MRL. The Guides were split into 3 groups, with an approximately equal number of Year 1s and Year 2s in each group. The purpose of building a Kitchen Table was to ensure everyone, especially the Year 1s were familiar with building basic pioneering structures such as the Kitchen Table.
As no PL or PS was assigned in each group, this gave every Year 2 the opportunity to try leading their group. Every 10 minutes, a Year 2 was to report to the 集合 ICs to give a progress report on how their group was doing so far.

Reflection from a Year 1:
On Friday’s 集合, it was our first time building the Kitchen Table without our Year 3 and Year 4 seniors guiding us. We had a hard time as we were not used to building the Kitchen Table by ourselves (only Year 1s and Year 2s). While building, some of us were not helping, and the Year 3s had to remind us a lot of times to constantly 报时 and cheer. Some of the knots were also loose and we had to retie it in order for the kt to be stable. Although we did not finish building the Kitchen Table and we 过时, we definitely learnt a lot from this 集合. We would practise more such as the lashes and the time we take to tie. This would help us do better for the next 集合. In conclusion, although it was tiring, it was a definitely a new and fruitful experience for me!
Reflection from a Year 2:
Friday’s 集合 was really tiring yet meaningful. I recalled how the 白木 of the Kitchen Table we built was too high, which will lead to the inability for people to eat properly off the table. We should have measured the distance between the 定脚 and 白木 accurately, the distance was quite big. It was our first time leading the Year 1s and I felt very nervous as we had the responsibility to ensure they know and understand how to build the structures. I feel that we could have done much better and that we should work on our sense of urgency. I also feel that there is a need for us to revise our Year 1s' lashes as most of them were not up to standard and some of them were still slightly unsure of how to tie the lashes. Despite managing to complete the Kitchen Table on time, I felt that my group could have done better.Next we had 拆掉 and then quickly moved to the field for the building of 3 Kitchen Shelters.
Kitchen Shelter
The 3 groups were given 40 minutes to 起 the Kitchen Shelter after being given a detailed explanation of the building process. The aim in mind was to ensure that the Year 2s would be confident in knowing how to build a Kitchen Shelter and for the Year 2s to step up to lead within their groups.

It was my first time building a Kitchen Shelter and it was very enriching as I learnt how to build a new structure. The Year 2s were very caring and taught us patiently. With the Year 2s around to guide us, we managed to build the Kitchen Shelter although it may not have been very ideal. Previously, when building the Kitchen Table, we 过时 many times and did not constantly 报时 and cheer. However, after the seniors told us what to improve on, we managed to improve slightly when we built the Kitchen Shelter.
Reflection from a Year 2: 团 青木 集合
During the building of the Kitchen Shelter, the seniors told u to choose our 木 properly, and the 木 we chose were either too short or too long, which made the Kitchen Shelter unstable and the canvas sheet not taught enough. It is also important to finish the main guidelines first before the other guidelines at the 青木. I was really tired by the end of the day, but I felt like we worked better as a 团. I also feel that I have become more confident and I am starting to try and help out more with the structure by asking others what they may need help with. However, I also feel that there is more I can do to help.
We hope that the Year 1s have learnt something from this 集合 and gained confidence when pioneering. As for the Year 2s. we hope that they were able to try to lead their fellow Guides by stepping up. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves during this week's pioneering!
