Hi Guides!
These are some of the reflections from the Year 2s about the Patrol Activity.
Reflection from a Year 2 of Patrol 1:
For Patrol Activity, we had to think of a structure which could protect at least half our patrol members from poisonous snakes in the storyline. Before the activity started, we were allowed to go around GSL Level 1 and 2 to search for post-it notes which represented questions that we had to answer in exchange for extra logistics within a given timing. At first, it was hard to look out for the post-it notes as it was well-hidden from our eyes. After a thorough search, we were only able to find 7 out of the 10 post-it notes that were hidden. After time was up, we went to 集合 and handed the post-its over to our Year 3s. It was fun as we got to answer tricky riddles and do tongue-twisters. After answering all the questions given to us, we were able to take 3 extra logistics which would be used to build our shelter from snakes. We were given 35 minutes to build a creative structure. During the 35 minutes, we were careless and unobservant, which led to our logistics and manpower being kapped. However, there was a slight improvement from our last Patrol Activity as we had managed to successfully complete our structure without 过时 -ing. Furthermore, our Y1s had stepped up more and were slightly more confident in their lashes. They have also took up the initiative to 报时 and cheer, which has increased our patrol morales. From the activity, I have learnt the benefits of using our surroundings. We were able to shelter every Year 1 and Year 2 in P1 from the "snakes", which was a good thing. From the activity, my patrol batch mates and I have realised our weaknesses in terms of lashes and we hope to be able to work on it and improve ourselves from there.
Reflection from a Year 2 of Patrol 2:
During Patrol Activity, we were tasked to build a Kitchen Table with 40 minutes. It was my 2nd time building a Kitchen Table and the 1st time we built it, we 过时 terribly and did not complete the structure. I was nervous at first that we would disappoint the seniors again. However, our patrol worked pretty efficiently as compared to last time and the Year 1s were more initiated too. Although we faced some difficulties at the start and had to ask for time extension, we still managed to 起 a stable tripod without having it 飞脚. Although we did not meet the standard timing of a Kitchen Table, we managed to successfully complete a kind of standard Kitchen Table before the end of Patrol Activity. I was glad and proud to see the Year 1s constantly improving, more remarkably tying lashes faster and more standardly. Towards the end of 集合, the Year 3 seniors also bought drinks for each and everyone of us to celebrate the last Patrol Activity of the term.
Reflection from a Year 2 of Patrol 3:
For Patrol Activity, we did Fireman's Ladder (FML) and played Capture the Flag. After building the FML we tried it one by one and I thought it was a really exciting experience because we got to overcome our fear and trust our patrol mates more when attempting it. It was a little intimidating and scary at first but it turned out to be pretty fun. Then we played Capture the Flag, where we split into two teams and were given some time to make a structure and plan out our defense. We were given a roll of masking tape to hide and protect from the other team and when the game started, we split up to attack the other base and defend ours at the same time. It was really fun and we played a few rounds. After the first two rounds, we started working together better and started formulating strategies. It turned out to be a patrol-bonding experience and a really fun Patrol Activity.
This week’s Patrol Activity was a rather special one as we got to combine with P6. The first activity was to build a Kitchen Shelter. I feel like this activity helped me a lot because it allowed me to familiarise with the building of a Kitchen Shelter and also take note that it should be facing the wind direction so that it will not kua. I also learnt more about allocating manpower and the importance of communication. The 2nd small activity was to name how to build a particular structure. I got the opportunity to teach a Year 1 how to build a Fire Altar and also at the same time revised how to build one. After that, it was station games combined with building a shoe rack. We split up into 2 groups. As a Year 1 was not here, I had to work in a group of 1. From this activity, I learnt how to build a Shoe Rack and also tie my lashes tighter. All in all, I feel that this 集合 has really allowed me to further familiarise with the structures and the procedures to build them, as well as the precautions needed.
Reflection from a Year 2 of Patrol 5:
During Patrol Activity, we did creative gadgeting for the first 45 minutes. We had to come up with a structure in order to hold our cutlery, utensils as well as to have a chopping corner. Our patrol came up with a structure and completed it within the given time. although we had one 飞脚 , I think the overall structure was quite well done and our lashes were tight. For the rest of the Patrol Activity, we played some games. The first game was where we had to balance a bottled can on a strand of dry pasta with two people holding it in their mouths, and turn one round while squatting. Even though, none of us in the patrol manage to complete it, we had a lot of fun. Last but not least, we played charades. We all had a chance to go up twice to act out what word was given to us to the other patrol members and it definitely strengthened our bond.
Reflection from a Year 2 of Patrol 6:
For this Monday’s Patrol Activity, we did pioneering and played station games. First, we built a Kitchen Shelter for pioneering, and learnt that we don’t need to 起 the 青木 first and we should 打进 the main guidelines first. For station games, I had a little difficulty trying to answer questions. First we were told to treat a fractured collarbone, and I did not know to tie an elevated sling, since I was not familiar with the steps. We were also asked to describe the steps for treating lacerations, which I did not know either. It showed how I was not familiar enough with the Guides notes, and I will try my best to familiarize myself with it if possible. That also includes the Guides code. All in all, I feel like I am not very good at remembering procedures and steps, whether it is building structures or FA, Guides code etc. I think it is important to remember such procedures, or it would be a big problem to me during ATC and PLTC. In overall, I will need to try remembering the procedures, and improve my hard skills too.
I hope that everyone had a fun time with their patrol and bonded with one another!
