Orientation Dap camp 2021

A few days ago my batch planned the Orientation Camp (OC). And on the day of the camp we started with flag break and since it was a day camp we decided to start the games immediately.

The first game was a continuation of the activity we did the day before. The scouts learned how to tie a simple stretcher with the basic knots they had learned. After which they played a game called Trivia. In each round a representative from each patrol would be sent to the front of the basketball court. The IC would then ask a scouting related question. The first scout who knew the answer grabbed the dowel would be able to add a load onto another patrol's stretcher. Through this activity scouts would learn more about scouting as well as bong with their patrol members.

The second game was the Amazing race. The race had 6 locations that each patrol had to go to. In each station there would be a game linking to scouting and teamwork. Throughout the race scouts had to carry their stretcher, along with the stretcher. To spice things up to find the location there was a riddle for the patrols to figure out. And the patrol who finished all 6 stations will win a small prize.

Although there wasn't many game due to COVID-19 I think they had fun. After the games was the Investiture ceremony. However this year they combined the investiture and Passing out Parade. But due to COVID a sec 1 representative from each patrol was required to stand in front of the flag. After the investiture was the Passing out Parade. So the PLC of 2020 passed on the troop to the PLC of 2021.
