Scout uniforms for the Recruits, 15th February 2014

Written by: Andrew Yeo, Assistant Senior Sixer & Scribe

Today was an exciting morning for the recruits. We started off the day by giving them a warm welcome. Mrs Koh then proceeded to give out proficiency badges to the cubs who had earned them earlier . As I was clapping for the cubs, I was sure that this was a satisfying moment for them who had gotten their badges. 

I was also sure that the cubs who had not gotten their proficiency badges were encouraged to take part in them. After that, Mrs Koh started assigning the recruits to their new and permanent six. I was surprised that the only six which the recruits were not assigned to was my former six, Bilby, which still had more people than the rest of the sixes.
      
The sixers were then asked to break into their own groups because the recruits were supposed to memorize the names of the people in the group. After that ,all of them were asked to bring their money along into a special room were they were to buy their uniforms ,socks,belts,and their shoes. While the recruits were doing that, the scouts had to do foot drills,which was long and tiring for them. I was certain that the cubs were happy with their practice as they got more familiar with the commands.
      

After the foot drills ,we then played this game were we were supposed to hold a ball in between another persons arm and reach a cone placed at the end of the kidszone. The second game was that we had to throw a ball into a basket at a certain distance where another person was carrying the basket. The meeting ended when Mrs Koh returned us our log books.
      

I felt that today was very exciting for the recruits as they got to have their own uniform with their shoes, socks and cap .
