Procedure

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: (This will be uploaded on the company blog prior to the ceremony so that the company can get familiarized with the procedure)

CLs: By patrols, left wheel, quick march.

Colour Party will give timing and the PL of the first patrol 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.

CLs: 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. A CL or ACL will mark where that spot is.

CLs: 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.
