E-call List and First-aid Kit testwork

Hello Guides!

Sec1s to 3s who have yet to clear/wish to clear their E-call list and First-Aid kit testworks can do so for ATC. The E-call list and First-Aid kit can be used during ATC. (Wide Game will be held within Camp Christine)

Sec1s to 3s who are taking these testworks: It is compulsory for each patrol to have at least one  first aid kit and at least one e-call list, as stated in the packing list.  Please print out a copy of the rubrics and fill in the necessary details and submit the rubrics together with your E-call list/First-Aid kit to the testwork ICs on the first day of camp. Rubrics of the testworks are below:

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.

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. 

Thank you and all the best!

World Thinking Day 2017 Pre-event Competitions

Hi Guides!

As you know, Girl Guides Singapore (GGS) will celebrate 100 years of Girl Guiding in Singapore in 2017. Many Centenary events are being planned for our members, amongst which are activities that will involve the wider Girl Guiding community and general public across Singapore. The World Thinking Day at Singapore Botanic Gardens on 18 February 2017 will mark the start of the Centenary celebrations.

To create greater awareness of and to celebrate our Girl Guiding Centenary, we would like to encourage each company to participate in the following competitions:
  • GGS100 Video Competition
  • GGS100 Poster Design Competition


Since we have two companies, each company is required to have a submission for both the video and poster design competition. Hence, we will need Guides to volunteer as ICs for each competition activity for their own company. If you are interested, please inform us by 10 November, Thursday. If no one volunteers by this date, we will assign the ICs and will inform you through private message. The entries have to be submitted by the end of December 2016. More information about the competitions will be sent to you via email. Thank you!

Regards,
CLs and ACLs’ 17
