Skills Training, 4 April 2025

Hi Guides! For today's 集合, we did a standard Pioneering Structure which was a Box Tower.

It was a good refresher for our memories.

Reflection from a Year 2 in P3:

I still remember the impression it left on me, especially the emotions I felt and the lessons I gained from the experience. The activity involved building a Box Tower, which required us to think about not just the usual things like the steps to build it, but more importantly, teamwork because, as always, nothing can be accomplished alone. It was a challenge that tested not only our physical coordination but our ability to work together under pressure. There were moments of confusion, especially for me, overlapping instructions, and uncertainty about how to proceed. But what stood out most during those times was how essential clear communication and decisive thinking was. Working as a patrol and team meant that we all had to communicate well and take the initiative to help one another so we can get the task done. Furthermore, the activity reinforced my mindset of the 不是跑就是飞 idea and to constantly 报时. While these ideas are not foreign to me, I think that each session is a reminder of their importance when we try to get things done. I still remember feeling frustrated during the activity. When things did not go as planned, like whether the structure was not stable or a lash was not tight, I felt like giving up and not giving it my all. But seeing everyone pushing forward helped me find the strength to keep going too. In the end, what was important to me that day was not the success of the activity which, as shown by my memory, is not what one remembers, but rather the process itself which was memorable and meaningful. The experience or rather what I gained from it was teamwork, patience, and resilience. It showed me how important it is to support one another, especially when facing new challenges. I also learned that even when things do not go as expected, there is always something to gain, be it the lesson, the laughter and smiles we share, or the change in mindset. In conclusion, though as I mentioned earlier, I do not really remember the details or what precisely happened that day, I emerged stronger as always when faced with challenges.

Let us continue upholding our standards in Pioneering!
