E-Call List rubrics (click to enlarge) 

Description of Testwork:

The best time to prepare for an emergency is before it happens. This is because during an emergency, it is easy to become disoriented and upset, thus it is important to have all important phone numbers readily ahead of time. For this testwork, you are required to make a list of phone numbers including those of your family members, nearby amenities from home and the place of wide game, patrol members, guiders, school’s general office and the general emergency numbers. Remember to specify the names of the necessary details. No marks will be awarded if the names are not specified. (Eg: Raffles Medical Clinic instead of Clinic and Tay Boon Kee instead of Father.) The size of the e-call must be small enough to be able to fit into a wallet, and it must be waterproof. Additionally, it must be well-organised for quick reference. 

First-Aid Kit rubrics (click to enlarge) 

Description of Testwork: 

First aid kits are important because they allow someone who is injured to be rapidly treated with basic first aid, so as to reduce the chances of infection. For this testwork, you are required to assemble a first aid kit, in case of any minor injuries during the wide game. The necessary contents are listed above, such as triangular bandage, safety pins, crepe bandage, tweezers and scissors. Do note that the box used as the first aid kit must be waterproof and handy (not too big so that it can be easily carried around). Additionally, the box should be compartmentalized and well-organized so that it is easy to find the items needed. 

Things to Note
  • To prepare for the testworks, Guides are to read and revise the relevant sections of the Guide Handbook (the one from HQ a.k.a the blue handbook) mentioned above.
  • Guides are reminded to take testworks seriously and study for respective testworks so that the session will be meaningful and not a waste of time for both the testers and the Guides taking the test.

Thank you and all the best!
