A New Life In Rangers

It is indeed sad to leave our Girl Guide Company after been in these 3 companies 11th 16th 27th coy for almost 3 years..many memories have we left,many laughter and bad circumstances have we faced.After the age of 15 all Guides will move on to Rangers which is a bit kinda senior from Girl Guides..although is sad being apart from the juniors but is indeed a great pleasure to join back our seniors in Rangers.Being in Rangers, many things will be quite different from Girl Guides such as our scarf,tenderfoot badge and as well as patrols..instead of 6(Girl Guide)..in Rangers we have 8 patrols.Each patrol shall consist of a F5 leader ,a F5 and a F4 assistant ranging from patrol A to H.

Our Ranger 1st meeting started during the holidays 13th and 14th March.On this 2 days a Ranger Training Camp has been organised in our AMC school.Is a bit pity that we can't spent a night during camp as many problems occur..but no matter we shall fight for it till the end.A Ranger and Girl Guide camp shall be no meaning at all if we are not allowed to spend even a single night at place not call our home.We as a Guide and Ranger are and should be trained to be independant and adapt to any circumstances.At least a night there will let us taste the comfort in our home..and if we are being out in the world camping or without a home this is what it feels like.We can also make use to the nature around us to help us learn to survive.

The theme of our camp this year was The Flavour Of Life.In this camp we learnt to built our own flag pole.We also had the experience to cook some delicious food.This is a must for a Guide as is part of the word independant.A Guide should know how to cook her own food to survive.Next,we had the experince on hiking.During hiking there are many signs marked every where around us.This is to test the awareness of each guide.Some of these signs are marked using chalk,grass,wood and so on...each signs had meaning of their own.Further on,we learn to design our own shoe rack using wood.This is a test on creativeness.On the last day we had station games.Each patrol has been given a clue and we are enquired to find the correct station according to the clue given.Each station has different obstacles and team work is important in each patrol.We also had sketch presentation.Each patrol have to present their own sketch based on the titles given-Sleeping Beauty(Cappuccino Patrol),Snow White(Mocha Patrol),Beauty and The Beast(ExpressoPatrol),Aladdin(Latte Patrol),Cinderella(Hot Chocolate Patrol),Mulan(Milkshake Patrol),Rapunzel(Bubble Tea Patrol) and Little Mermaid(Mochiatto Patrol).Each patrols have the creativesness of thier own.

This wonderful memories in 2010 Ranger Training Camp ended on 14/3/2010 at 4pm.It was the last camp that every f5 seniors can have.For us F4..it will be the 1st and last camp with seniors by our side.Time does flew by quickly...a 2 day training has officially ended..we shall remember always the wonderful ,memories we had together..
