Hey there!
We had an unofficial meeting on the 21st July, Wednesday, from 2.45 to 5.45 pm !

The guides fell in at 2.45. after reporting strength and getting attendance checked, they fell out and headed to the classroom to complete testings. This time round, the PLs, especially Dorothy, have to work together extra hard and try to get as many guides to attain their bronze / silver / gold badge as soon as possible as we are aiming to achieve a PNA Gold Award by the next Thinking Day !

That day, the Sec Twos had their NAPPFA and many of them did not turn up for the first half of the meeting. While everyone was busy studying and completing their testings, the PLs were busy sorting out one huge stack of completed testing passed on from Natalie :D. At 4.45 pm, everyone was instructed to sit in their patrols. We were then briefed by Caitlin about the Cook Proficiency Badge we were planning to complete. We were given about 30 minutes to discuss on what we wanted to cook.


Practical
1. Bring a letter from her mother or Domestic Science teacher to say that she has prepared, cooked and served a complete dinner, and cleared away afterwards.
2. Cook at the test, a balanced meal using at least two of the following methods:
2.1 Boiling;
2.2 Baking;
2.3 Steaming;
2.4 Stewing;
2.5 Frying or grilling.
Note: Cook a dessert or cake, if not already included in the meal.
3. Make a cup of tea, coffee or cocoa
4. Wash up competently utensils, boards etc. used at the test.
5. Lay a table.
Oral
Answer questions on food and the dishes just prepared. Have knowledge of the prices and food values of the ingredients used. Understand why special care is necessary when cooking vegetables and how their value may most easily be conserved.

At about 4.45 pm, we proceeded to the outdoor stage. The reason for the punishment that day was the lack of sense of urgency and also many PSes did not relate the message to their patrol members to bring the guides handbook and to study for the testings beforehand. The punishment was to run 2 rounds around the level one classrooms.
After running, we proceeded with footdrills and practiced the formation of squad alongside with the usual commands. However, the PLs notices that many guides, especially sec ones and twos were unsure of their ‘keblakan poseng’ so we practiced that command repeatedly till they got it right :D
At 5.40, Sherwynn fell the guides in a horseshoe formation. Announcements were made to remind the PSes to hand in their Cook Badge Proposals on the next meetin. Following that, we sang taps and everyone was dismissed.
