Badge Test 14thMar2020

Written by Foo Zhen Xi, Asst Sixer & Scribe

It was the day of our badge test, I came to school for scouts 20 minutes early to get my collectors proficiency badge. I passed the presentation for my badge and got the signature. Later on during horseshoe, Bagheera announced that today we were doing a badge test and that we would go into our small groups to teach the new scouts about the kinds of badges we have and where to put them.

After we were in our six group, we were told that the Singapore flag badge that most scouts were wearing was only supposed to be used when going overseas as a pack, otherwise, they would have to be removed.

Soon, the Akela candidates were called out by Mr Cheong to tell us the Akela  introduction while the other scouts did their arrows. He showed us previous Akela candidates submissions, I was impressed by their work.

Later, we had 15 minutes to try to get some signatures for our Akela award in the yellow book and tried to recall the dates of our scout camps. After that, we all got into horse shoe for sunset party before we left. It was announced that our badge test was next week so that we could have the whole week to change our badges in case they were in the wrong place so that we would not have to lose points for our six.

After sunset party, me and my brother went to get some signatures for proficiency badges then left for home.
