Pass It On

Pass it on, pass it on, pass it pass it pass it on...

And so it was that we had a really imba campfire songs + flagstaff decorum act. Continuing with the 1 act tradition of no PT, we jumped straight into learning some campfire songs, one of which was the source of the activity's name.

Various Sec 2s and 3s went up (or were forced up) to lead the various campfire songs like the Cannibal King, Under the Silvery Moon, Father Abraham, and other classics. Sec 2s and 3s can approach their friendly recreational committee Sec 2s for other campfire songs and whatnot if they're interested.

Later on in the act, things got (slightly) more serious. We were originally given 4 minutes 30 seconds to change from PE kit to full scout uniform. Upon failing this timing miserably, this evolved into a mini changing parade, where we had to change back into our PE kit, pump, then change back into scout uniform, and do crunches. Fortunately, it ended soon and we proceeded on for the flagstaff decorum. This was the part where we clarified our doubts as to the proper procedure during a flag-raising and lowering. Hilarious moments ensued, as various volunteers (including me) went up to try and demonstrate the proper procedure. Roflmao.

Originally, we were supposed to practise with an actual flag staff, but due to the wet weather, this aspect was cancelled. And so, after a brief practise with an imaginary flag staff, the activity came to an end and we were dismissed from the Raja Block Foyer.

I hope that everyone learnt something from today's act, be it the fun and awesome campfire songs, or the proper way to carry out a solemn Scouts flag raising and lowering. And of course, I hope you guys had fun as well :D
