Welcoming the new recruits on 7 February 2026

Term 1 Week 5

By Koala Sixer Damon Kwok

 

I arrived at school at 0845hrs, all excited to welcome the new recruits into the Six. 

Shortly after, we formed up for Colour Party and then gathered in Indian File as instructed by Senior Sixer Ryan. Kaa started calling out the name of each of the recruits and which six they would be in, and everyone was eager to find out which recruit will be joining their Six. As the recruits were assigned to their Six, the members of each Six warming welcomed them. 

After that, we were split into groups for games on scouting knowledge. The first game involved us sitting in a circle with a cone in the middle. An alumni would ask questions related to scouting and whoever knew the answer would run to the cone, pick it up and shout out the answer. That would give the Six a point. 

The next game involved 2 groups playing rock, paper, scissors”. Members of each group would take turns to play rounds of “rock, paper, scissor” with the other group and the winning member could answer a question. Getting it right would allow the member to advance forward. Whoever manages to advance into the other group would score a point.  

The last game was a knowledge test within the Six where we would need to write our answers to the questions by the alumni on a piece of paper. 

What a fun way to refresh our knowledge on scouting! 

After the games, the Sixers took their Six to the Six Corner to practice some foot drills, before Sunset Party was conducted and the meeting ended.
