Hello Guides!
This was our very first Patrol Activity of 2021! Here are some reflections from the various members of each patrol.
Reflection from a Year 2 of Patrol 1:
Patrol Activity on Monday was a rather fruitful one as we were able to work fast and learn something from it. We managed to build a Baggage Rack under the standard timing given which was something we were proud of ourselves. However, on the next structure we built, it became a movable quadpod as there were many lashes which were not up to standard. It was originally meant to be a waterproof shoe rack but the netting was rather inconsistent and the poncho wasn’t taut. We also spent too much time on planning and didn’t manage to finish on time, which resulted in us 过时ing. I feel that we should also take care of our logistics and patrol mates better as they are very important to us. On the bright side, the station games were fun and productive as we managed to pick up and revise a few Guides songs like Cannibal King and The Window. Overall, I managed to learn a lot from this 集合 and had fun.
Reflection from a Year 3 of Patrol 1
For the Patrol Activity on Monday, I felt that it was not quite up to standard as the lashes we tied were not tight. For many structures, the base of the structure like the tripod and quadpod were not tied tightly, causing the structure to be very unstable and could topple any time. It also could not stand with items on it, defeating the purpose of building the structure. Moreover, some of our patrol mates were kapped many times, showing how we were not paying enough attention to our logistics and manpower. I feel that we can work on including everyone better, such that no one is isolated or left out alone at the corner where no one would notice. Another thing we can improve on is stepping up to lead the Year 2s and make sure they stick to the small timings we give them and not take their own time. However, as it is the first Patrol Activity of the year, I feel that our performance was not that bad and I hope we can do better for future Patrol Activities.
Reflection from a Year 2 of Patrol 2
At the start of Patrol Activity, we collected the logistics which were required to make two different structures that could serve as a net as well as hide our 白绳 box. This allowed us to not only revise on our lashes, but also expand our creativity while building structures. While building the structure, we also learnt that when selecting gadget poles, we should select thickness according to the structure we are building. After that, we played capture the flag, where the flag was our 白绳 box. We had to think very carefully of a special place which not only prevents the other team from taking it but also convenient for us to slot the other team's 白绳 box once we had obtained it. After that we also played captain’s ball where we were supposed to place the ball in our net to gain a point. These games allowed us to bond as a patrol and we had a lot of fun. To end it off, we played a game of mafia. Some of us had never played it before, and it was a relaxing and interesting way of ending off the Patrol Activity. This was the first Patrol Activity of 2021 and we felt that it was very fun and enriching. We enjoyed ourselves very much! We also look very much forward to the next Patrol Activity.
Reflection from a Year 3 of Patrol 2
We just had our first Patrol Activity of the year and we built our own net and structure to play capture the flag as well as captain's ball. I really enjoyed the activities as we got to improve on our hard and soft skills while having fun. We also got the chance to be creative and have more time to bond with our juniors while having a more inclusive discussion with them. As Year 3s, we learned to be more independent and lead the juniors on our own instead of always relying on others. As a patrol, I think this session allowed us to refresh our skills especially the tying of quadpod as we are more unfamiliar with that structure. We also played mafia and it was fun and allowed us to truly communicate with our patrol members as usual CCA sessions can be quite hectic and there isn't really quality time for us to understand the patrol members and foster a closer relationship with them. I feel that our patrol morale has also improved through the sessions especially in Patrol Activity as the Year 2s are more confident and would 报时 more promptly. I really enjoyed this session and hope there will be similar sessions in the future.
Reflection from a Year 2 of Patrol 3
During this Patrol Activity, we had Gadgeting and Escape Room. I feel that Patrol Activity improves my sense of urgency and my knowledge of lashes. I had the chance to practice my lashes and learn new skills. I think that Patrol Activity also promotes bonding among the members of the patrol. However, we can improve on our manpower allocation, sense of urgency and Guides knowledge. Furthermore, we can also 照顾好人, 照顾好东西. We should also read up on our Guides notes so as to better familiarise ourselves with the various survival skill questions asked to us during the Escape Room activity. As a Year 2 getting ready to lead our next batch of Year 1s, I feel that we should also take the initiative to step up and look at the bigger picture. I have certainly learnt a lot from this Patrol Activity and found that the Escape Room the seniors planned for us was really interesting.
Reflection from a Year 3 of Patrol 3
For the Patrol Activity, I feel that it was good training for me. Personally, I had to step up more than usual and guide the Year 2s. There were also many things I could have better managed especially during the Gadgeting Activity of building a modified Kitchen Table. I feel that I could have allocated my manpower much better since at many times the Year 2s had nothing to do and had a better sense of urgency to ensure that we completed the structure on time. I could also have ensured that the lashes were of good quality as some of them were quite loose. On the other hand, the Escape Room activity was really fun and a good bonding experience for me and my patrols mates. I also got to revise some of the Guides things that I learnt in the Guides notes as I had to guess items or activities related to Guides. Overall, it was a fun Patrol Activity and I got to take away some important learning points and how to improve.
Reflection from a Year 2 of Patrol 4
For Patrol Activity on Monday, we played captain’s ball with the hoops we built out of gadget poles and also built a Shoe Rack and an Indoor Fire Altar. Captain's ball was very fun as we got to use our own hoops built and we also got to practice teamwork. This led us to be able to bond with the entire patrol. However, I felt that we could have tied the tripod lower so the hoop would be bigger for the ball to go in more easily. The Indoor Fire Altar should also have 2 定脚s that we did not tie. Our Shoe Rack could have been more upright as it was quite slanted. Patrol Activity helped us to train our soft skills and revise on how to build the structures. Overall, I think our lashes could be tighter and we should 报时 more and 照顾好人照顾好东西. We should look at the big picture of the structure more often and take note of protrusion if not some lashes will have little space to tie.
Reflection from a Year 3 of Patrol 4
The Patrol Activity on Monday was fun and engaging as the storyline was very interesting. It was also a good opportunity for us to bond together as a patrol through the various activities. Through the activity of building the Shoe Rack and Fire Altar, we managed to recap on these structures and guide our Year 2s in building them. It was also a platform for the Year 2s to practice tying their lashes. We have also learnt and refined our soft skills such as effective communication, team work and work delegation as we decided to split into two teams to each build a structure. We are also reminded of 照顾好人 and 东西, which is essential in Guides. We have also built a hoop for our game of Captain’s ball. We have thoroughly enjoyed the game of Captain’s ball together as one patrol and have definitely bonded through this game. Patrol Corner was one of the highlights of the Patrol Activity as it was a good time for us to share our thoughts about the session and bond together as a patrol!
Reflection from a Year 2 of Patrol 5
During Patrol Activity, we did creative pioneering and built a bridge. We learnt that it is important to ensure that the tripod lash is tied tightly because if it is not tied tightly, it can cause the whole tripod to be shaky even after the tying of 定脚s. We also learnt that choosing 木 of around the same thickness is crucial so that the tripod can be opened properly. Furthermore, we learnt that we should make sure all lashes are tied and 抽-ed properly so that the overall structure will be well-made because one step of the process can affect another. For example, the 定脚 that we tie the 木 across both tripods must be tight so that it can withstand someone’s weight. We also feel that we should have 报时 more to ensure a sense of urgency. Overall, Patrol Activity was enjoyable and we were satisfied with the structure we made although it could still be improved in terms of how tight the lashes were.
Reflection from a Year 3 of Patrol 5
For Patrol Activity, we did creative pioneering. This was very exciting as it was the first Patrol Activity of the year. We had to build an interactive creative structure based on a drawing. It was a bridge made with two quadpods connected with 黄木. First we had to take the logistics needed. It was a bit hectic as we only had 4 people to carry all the 木. We also had some difficulty taking the 黄木. This caused us to overrun by a bit meaning that we had a tighter schedule and could not afford to overrun while building the bridge. Overall, I feel quite proud of my patrol as we managed to finish tying the structure and even had time to play on it. We also had very little manpower so this made completing the structure even more satisfying. I find this a fun and unique way to test and build up our hard skills as we have the opportunity to build structures outside of the standard structures we normally build. We also can interact with the structure making it more interesting.
Reflection from a Year 2 of Patrol 6
During Patrol Activity last Monday, we built a structure and a weapon to fend off the zombies according to the storyline and also played a game which required us to find post-it notes and watch out for our patrol mates. I think that we could have 报时 more often so that everyone in the patrol could hear and take note of the time, having a greater sense of urgency and also be more alert as sometimes, our patrol mates got kapped. We should also have communicated more when building the structure as most of us did not know how the structure would look like. During the game of Treasure Hunt, I believe that we could have looked out more for our patrol mates as some of us got kapped and their pieces of tape were taken away. As a result, we should not have left anyone behind and all walked together while finding the post-its.
Reflection from a Year 3 of Patrol 6
For Patrol Activity, we were tasked to build a structure with only one Year 3 looking at the design at a time. We were posed a difficulty as the one looking at the structure is not allowed to touch the logistics. By working our way around this problem, we learnt the importance of communication and giving our clear instructions as well. We also have to manage our time well as we spent most of our time building the structure while leaving only a few minutes to rush through the second task which is to build a weapon. In hindsight, we could have distributed our manpower more efficiently. The lashes tied should definitely be improved as the structure was leaning slightly towards one side, making it unstable. My favourite activity was the Treasure Hunt as it was extremely fun as we got to solve different riddles and go on mini courses to find all the post-it notes. We learnt to 照顾好 our patrol mates and look out for one another. Overall, it was a very fun Patrol Activity as we get to bond with one another.
We hope that everyone had fun during their first Patrol Activity of 2021 and bonded well with their patrol mates!
