“Beep… !! Beep !! ” went the senior sixers’ whistle .It was
time for horseshoe ! As usual , when we are done with our horseshoe we got into
Indian file .Today was a very significant day in the Henry Park Pelican Scout’s
calendar as it is the day that the existing sixers (mostly P6) would handover
to a new batch of sixers. I can feel the excitement in the air!!
Before the handover ceremony, Baloo gave out some badges.
Today he gave out 2 very special badges, He presented “Campfire Leader” badge
for Lucas & Janice who led in the campfire during the recent Sixer Training
Camp. Baloo also presented the “Scribe” badge to 6 newly appointed Scribe for
our blog. They are Daniel, Evangel, Jessica, Xiu Xi, Yew Ming and myself.
Next, Baloo went through with us the handover ceremony
procedure. We had a few practices before the actual handover ceremony at 11am.
Finally the long awaited moment came. Many parents came by
to witness this simple yet memorable moment. Raksha announced the names of the newly
appointed Assistant Sixers, Sixers, Assistant Senior Sixers and Senior Sixer.
Each of us received a certificate and a badge from the Chill / Baloo. The
Senior Sixer and Assistant Senior Sixers also received a whistle each.
At the handover ceremony, the Scout flag, Pelican flag and
the Attendance record were handed over from the outgoing Senior Sixer and
Assistant Senior Sixers to the new batch of leaders.
Next, each outgoing Sixer bearing the Six flag marched
forward with his Six to the awaiting new Sixer at the opposite side, after a
ceremonial salute, the outgoing Sixer handed over the Six flag to the new Sixer
at the same time outgoing Sixer gave a word of encouragement to the newly
appointed Sixer.
The last part of the handover ceremony was 2 cubs from each
Six have to carry their P6 scouts away from the pack using the firemen’s chair.
This is a symbolic act for us to 'temporary'send-off our P6 as they take a break
and focus on their PSLE.
We are sure going to miss all the P6s. Looking forward to
having you back after PSLE.
We wish all the P6s…
ALL THE BEST & MAY THEY BE THE BEST THAT THEY CAN BE!!
