Attire
Things to note
(a) Guide Uniform
1. Neat and ironed.
à Tip: Bring your uniform in a uniform cover so that you will not need to fold it and stuff it into your bag. (: 

2. Blouse must be tucked in at all times, such that the belt buckle is visible.

3. Guide skirt must be knee-length. No longer. No shorter.
à Tip: Kneel down wearing your skirt. The hem of the skirt should touch the ground nicely, this is the right length!

4. Skirt pockets should be empty, so that it will not hinder movement during footdrill.

5. All badges must be sewn and pinned on at the right places on the uniform. 
à REMEMBER the World BadgeTrefoil, Bronze/Silver/Gold badge, Thinking Day patch. 

6. The scarf must be secured under metal studs sewn to the uniform collar. It should also be tied neatly; the reef knot should form a neat square, and the ends of the scarf should be of equal length
à Tip: Iron the folds of your scarf at home. You can also tie your scarf and pin on the trefoil beforehand; this saves a lot of time when you put on your uniform!  
(b) Hat
1. Ironed and not crumpled.
à Tip: Starch your hat if possible!

2. To be folded and tucked under left epaulette when not worn.

3. Ensure that the hat badge is centralised, and that the elastic band is not visible.
à As batchmates, help to check each others’ hats!
(c) Accessories
1. No jewellery allowed. This includes ear studs and necklaces. Watches must also be taken off before the footdrill session.

2. Long hair (touching the state crest of the scarf) must be tied up neatly in a tight bun (covered with hair net), and loose strands of hair must be pinned up neatly.

3. Short hair is required to be kept in a hair net, and all loose strands of hair must be tucked in neatly using hair pins or a hair band. 

4. Hair accessories must be black in colour.

5. All Guides with spectacles are required to use spectacle hooks
à This prevents your spectacles from slipping during footdrill. 
(d) White socks 
+ Boots
1. Socks are strictly to be all white

2. No ankle socks allowed. White socks must be 3 fingers above the ankle bone. 
à Do not try to cheat and turn your NY socks inside out. The footdrill commanders know.

3. Boots must be well-polished. No liquid polish is allowed.
à Liquid polish will damage your boots over the long run. Use the right polish and cloth, spend time and polish your boots regularly. The end result will be worth your hard work and patience! Also, make sure you polish the entire boot, not just the front. This includes the heel too.

4. Laces must be tied into a double-knot; this prevents it from coming loose during footdrill.

Things to note:
- Guides are to revise their footdrill commands before coming for CCA.

Cheers,
EXCO ‘20 :)
