Today, was the investiture, a simply yet formal ceremony used to
symbolize the acceptance of the recruits into the scout pack.
Today, when I
arrived, I noticed that all the recruits were in the same uniform as we were,
just without scarves. The recruits looked very smart in their new uniforms, and it
could be seen that they were proud of themselves.
In today's meeting, we spent most of our time
rehearsing for the investiture. Six by six, the sixers had to lead their
recruits to the front of the “horseshoe” and let them say the scout promise.
After that, they would be presented their new scarf and woggle. The hard part of the entire ceremony was, we had to stand in sediah for
30-45 minutes!
After the first rehearsal, most of us were extremely tired.
However, we managed to survive the real investiture, and I think we did very well. Most of us were solemn throughout the ceremony, and patiently waited for
the recruits to be done.
We were privileged to have our Principal, Mr Chia, Vice Principal, Mrs Cheryl Tan and the parents of our recruits to grace the investiture.
After the investiture, parents of our new scout attended a job week briefing done by Mdm Kerina.
