Programme Schedule for 1st November 2010

Dear guides,

It's been a while since we had a CCA session together as a company! We hope that you have regained your energy after a trying EOY period and that you are ready to have a tiring but fulfilling time getting ready for camp (:

As you should know by now, we will be having our Handover Ceremony cum Farewell on the 2nd of November. Due to the tight schedule of the day's programme, we will be pushing the rehearsal for the handover ceremony to Monday morning instead. The programme schedule is as follows:

Do read through the procedure listed below before the rehearsal so that you will be more familiar with it. For the Sec 1s and those who have forgotten, the procedure is rather similar to the enrolment ceremony procedure. If you have any questions, do ask the Sec 3s/your PLs.

Procedure for Handover Ceremony:

  1. Company Attention

The entire company will stand at attention at this point.

  1. By Patrols, Left Wheel, Quick March

Footdrill commanders/Timers (Evie, Sihui, Vanessa) will give timing and the PL of the first patrol (Sunflower) will lead her patrol off, single file, to the left, followed by the second patrol, third patrol and so on. While waiting for the patrols to march off, the rest of the company will hentak. Guides will march to form a horseshoe formation.

  1. Centre March

Once the PL of the first patrol is in front of the flagpole, she will lead the patrols straight down, away from the flagpole until she reaches the spot where the back of the horseshoe is to be (marked by masking tape).

  1. Alternate Patrols, Right and Left March

This command will be given when the PL of the first patrol reaches the spot where the back of the horseshoe is. She will then march to the right, with her patrol following her. The next patrol leader and patrol will march to the left, followed by the third patrol marching to the right and so on. The patrols will march to form a horseshoe formation. Guides are to hentak while their positions are being adjusted.

  1. Company, halt

This command will only be given only after the shape of the horseshoe is satisfactory. Guides will then stop hentaking.

  1. Company Inward Turn

The company will turn to face the flagpole, with FCs/Timers giving the timing.

  1. Colour Party Fall Out

Colour party (Tania, Shiaowei, Sihui) takes a step back and turns right. The last person will start marching, followed by the next etc. They will march along the horseshoe formation to the front of the flagpole to break colours and salute colours. They will give their own timing.

Last person in row: Colour party, halt.

Last person in row: Colour party, right turn.

Colour party will turn to face the World Flag. The person in the centre will take a step forward to raise the World flag, after which she will take a step back to her original position.

Centre person: Check up, check down.

Here, the colour party salutes colours.

  1. Company Salute Colours
  2. Colour party back to original position, quick march

Colour party marches back to original positions. The first guide in the row will give timing.

  1. Existing PLs and PSes from Sunflower, Morning Glory and Orchid fall out

Existing PLs and PSes from the above patrols will take a step back and turn to the right. Starting from the first Guide, they will march along the horseshoe formation until they are in front of the flagpole. Guides will then hentak. Existing PLs must make sure that there is a space for the Incoming PLs to stand.

  1. Existing PLs and PSes, halt

To be said by the last person in the row.

  1. Existing PLs and PSes, left turn

CLs will give this command. The PLs and PSes are now facing inward towards the horseshoe formation.

  1. Incoming PLs and PSes from Sunflower, Morning Glory and Orchid fall out

Incoming PLs and PSes will take a step back and turn to the right and march along the horseshoe formation until they are in front of the flagpole. Guides will then hentak.

  1. Incoming PLs and PSes, right turn

Existing PLs and PSes will then fall out and put on the white ribbons on the epaulette of the juniors. They will fall in again in a straight line (like before) after they are done.

  1. New PLs and PSes from Sunflower, Morning Glory and Orchid, inward turn

Timing will be given by the last person in the row.

  1. Company Salute new PLs and PSes

FCs will give the timing “check up, check down” and the company will salute the new PLs and PSes.

  1. New PLs and PSes return salute

Timing will be given by the last person in the row.

  1. New PLs and PSes back to original position, quick march

Guides will march back to their original positions. The first person in the row will give the timing “one check one, left, left, left right…”.

  1. Seniors back to original position, quick march

Once back in their original positions, the CLs will call out the existing PLs and PSes and incoming PLs and PSes of the next three patrols and the same procedure will be repeated.

---

After the handover of leadership to all PLs and PSes is over, existing CLs and ACLs will fall in and march to the front of the flagpole and face the company.

  1. Incoming CLs and ACLs fall out
  2. Incoming CLs and ACLs right turn
