Today, 33 guides representing DHS Guides attended the Victoria School Arrow Scout group 85th Anniversary and 69th Campfire. Everyone was in a very happy and "high" mood as we cheered and sang traditional Scouting and Guiding songs at the top of our voices.
However, I observed that some of us did not have the basic respect for VS, the host school.
Here's what I've learnt from Mr. Teo, a scout master in a combined guides scouts lecture.
A campfire follows a certain sequence- peaceful->"high"->peaceful.
There are times when we can join in the fun, but there are times when we should quieten down and reflect. Only by participating actively and showing the correct attitude can we truely feel the togetherness and enjoy the campfire.
Most of us are attending a large-scale campfire for the first time and therefore it is understandable that we are not aware of these appropriate behaviours. I hope all guides take note of this and have basic etiquette when we go for campfires in future!

Hello!
The year2 scouts and guides had combined OJ today and all our efforts really paid off after a week of preparation.
We were divided into five patrols, P1: Leo Club, P2: Meso, P3: ProNoob, P4: Alternate Tab and P5: Mushroom. This is the first activity that sec2s have to lead ourselves which trains up our leadership and skills.
Course leaders were assigned to all patrols. They led us through the preparation for OJ, like packing peibei, first-aid kit, trainings and identity making and lots more other stuff. All of us are thankful for your help! (:
It was a really good experience for us to get closer with the scouts, to know each other more. We benefitted alot of skills, knowledge and stuff from them, and they will become useful to us to our future life in guides. We learnt about our weaknesses, like the lack of urgency and not taking care of things properly. Of course, we will do our best to improve on it.
Also, this is the first OJ where we take up the position of PL and PS, the leadership roles. It was a very good training for us, to get us have an experience of how ATC will be like leading the sec1s.
Although the preparation this whole week was tough, meeting up til late everyday, but at the end of the whole event, I feel that everything was worth it. In fact, there even was a tinge of regret that it is all over. The times we had together as a patrol, the jokes and laughters that we shared, even at emo times, I will definitely miss them.
Lastly, we will like to say a big THANK YOU to all the sec3s, for making this whole OJ a fruitul and worthwhile one! thanks for taking the time out to prepare OJ for us. (:
Good luck for tomorrow's Mountbatten Observance Ceremony!:D
