Please familiarise yourselves with the procedures for enrolment ceremony during CCA this Friday, 5 April 2013.
Guides will first
stand in their patrol formation and hentak or march off when CLs have given the
command. After that, Guides will form a horseshoe formation, following commands
given by the CLs. Each time, PLs and the incoming guides of 3 patrols will then
be called to fall out. Guides will march together until they are in front of
the flag pole. PLs will then fall out and introduce the new guides to the
Guiders. Incoming guides will then say their honour, promise and receive the
trefoil from the Guiders. After the new guides salute colours, the company will
salute the new guides and the new guides will return the salute. Everyone will
then return to their original positions and guides from the next 3 patrols will
be called to fall out.
Following this are
the commands for the ceremony:
CLs: Company,

waiting for the patrols to march off, the rest of the company will hentak.
Guides will march to form a horseshoe formation.
CLs: Centre march.
