Badge Test & Crime Prevention Test on14 Sep 2024

By Koala Sixer Ng Kye

At the start of our meeting, after the flag-raising ceremony, we took a few minutes for "Six Corner," a dedicated time for goal-setting and discussion. This allowed us to reflect on our objectives and share our aspirations with one another.

Following this, we divided into two groups: the first-year scouts and those of us in our second, third, or fourth years.

The first-year scouts were led to the 1B classroom, where Hathi went through the requirements for the Bronze Arrow, and many began working on their Bronze Arrow.

As part of the more experienced group, we moved to the 1A classroom, where we engaged in a SCDF Crime Prevention test aimed at earning the Crime Prevention badge. This session was both informative and practical, equipping us with essential skills for recognizing and preventing crime, which are valuable not just in scouting but in our everyday lives.

Once we completed the test, we switched places with the first-year group to participate in badge tests. This was an excellent opportunity for us to demonstrate our knowledge and skills. The badge tests were rewarding, as many of us were able to sign off on several badges, marking significant progress in our scouting journey.

As the day drew to a close, we returned to our horseshoe formation for the flag-lowering ceremony. This moment allowed us to reflect on the day’s achievements and the skills we had gained. We then held a Sixer’s Council to discuss our experiences. After a productive day filled with learning and teamwork, we were dismissed, heading back home with a sense of accomplishment and readiness for the challenges ahead.
