Saturday, 23 May 2009, 7am- 2pm, Unofficial Meeting
South Division Day 2009 :)

We assembled in school at 7am and fell in. Enrolled guides were dressed in their guides polo tee and skirt and unenrolled guides were in their p.e attire and pinafore. Everyone had to hand in their consent forms and the PSes whose members were missing had to call them. When everyone arrived, we went up the bus, which brought us to Camp Christine.

We alighted and everyone helped to carry the gadget poles and materials that we had brought along for the competition. Then, we went inside the camp and sat on the flight of stairs of a building. Our Guider, Ms Soh, went to the Olave Hall to attend a briefing. When she came back, the representatives of each component had to meet her. Ms Soh told us the colour codes for our activities i.e, the areas in which we were to carry out our activities were labelled with colours eg, the areas marked green were for tent-pitching. Soon, it was time to begin the competition. Each component went to their respective areas for a short briefing before starting the activity. While the guides worked tirelessly in each component, our YA and PLs were walking around, taking photographs and giving us their moral support and encouragement. XD

When some of us were done, we went around to visit the other components too. It was quite interesting to watch how everyone performed. Finally, when everything was completed, our guides gathered for our lunch- noodles and chicken. Yum :). Then, the tent-pitchers had to un-pitch our tent and some of the other guides helped out too. Finally, when everyone was done, it was time to present the prizes....

For flag identity, our school sent in 2 teams, the first consisting of Nia, Jasmine, Charmaine and Shaloam, and the second consisting of Pamela, Kai Li, Breena and Charissa. Both teams clinched the top three positons- third and second respectively. Congratulations and well done, Guides!
:-D

Though the rest of us did not manage to secure the top three positions in the other components, we have tried our best and enjoyed ourselves. We have learnt new skills and made new friends, and most of all, regconised the importance of teamwork and cooperation. We have kept the IJ Guiding spirit burning bright, and made CHIJ and HIJ 1st COY proud! Keep up the good work, everyone! XD. With that, we left Camp Christine and returned to school. We fell in and the PLs reminded us that although some of us did not return home with prizes, everyone is a winner, and we did give our best shot in all that we did. Then, we fell out and went home :)

Love,
Natalie

P.S Photographs will be up soon :)
