Briefing for 19/7 NDP Rehearsal

Dear Guides

Due to time constraint, I was unable to make my words clear to all of you before dismissal, hence the need for this post.

First off, today's performance was nowhere the standard we are working towards. We do not wish to scold you, trust me. We knows how it feels like (We were once like all of you)!! Hence, every time you see us getting angry or not mincing our words, please keep in mind that it is all for your own good.

Next, I will be placing orders for the boots already (by tonight). Those who have yet to paid your $12.90, please pay after school on Monday outside Guides' Den at 1.40pm! Remember. Here are the names of those who have yet to paid:

Bernice
Verene
Lisa
Jia Ru
Rycelyn
Deborah
Qiao Yuan
Nuraisyah
Wen Xi*
Wan Qin
Felicia
Rathi
Shu Hui
Natalie (*Update* Previously it was Pei Zhen but it was a typo!)
Yun Ting
Renette*
Eliza

*WenXi and Renette, as we have to make the orders by tonight (19/7), take note that I estimated your sizes for you.

Some of you have been asking me about the socks. Yes, we can order the socks along with the boots and gloves, however, you will need to pay the FULL price of the socks on your own. We will collect it soon, so bring enough money on Wednesday.

Another thing is, I need to meet all the sec 1s outside Guides' Den at 1.40pm on Monday to collect your patrol emblems. All Sec Ones are to be present.

For the following NDP rehearsal on Next Wednesday, please take note of the details:

- It is compulsory for ALL to bring a 1.5 liters mineral water bottle for rehearsal. It must be full. Buy if you do not have it. Label your names clearly on it. By 1.5l, I mean:



- Report outside Guides' Den at 3pm in FULL UNIFORMBe punctual and wear your attire properly. Polish your trefoil, whiten your shoes, tuck the laces, tie your braids, try not to wear Anderson socks, bring all articles (whistle and belt and various badges), tie your scarf properly and bring your hats and gloves! I do not wish to see anyone in improper attire.

- Those interested in Cambodia Trip, please tell us by the next session.

- North Division Day is also coming up, 17 August in Yishun Town Sec. Interested participants should inform us as well.

- Practice all the footdrills at home. I've noticed that your hentak (aka. marching on the spot) and your jalan (marching around) is not strong enough yet. Seek help from a senior if you need help. I mean it, absentism from any session does not serve as an excuse.

- Hydrate yourselves and be mentally strong and prepared. This rehearsal is not easy; we have told all of you. Thus, you need to hang in there for it.

- Remember to hand in all your badges and various testworks. Seek help if needed.

Other than that, we also have a Guides noticeboard near the side of the canteen which have information on details for each Guides Session. Please go and read it if you have any doubts about any Guides' session.
Last but not least, make sure to keep yourselves healthy and fit. Do drink a lot of water.

Yours In Guiding
Hui Hui
