Notes for Sessions and Activities

SMARTNESS AND GOOD ORDER II

This should be an active and could well begin with a few brisk Hand Signals with a few
inter Crew Relay Games thrown in to brighten up the program and bring the Outfit under
proper discipline. The Scouter in-charge of games, however noisy they may prove to be,
should always insist on a disciplined start and finish, with Crews standing at the alert in good
order.1
An early opportunity should be taken to introduce the tradition of giving the winning Crew the
Outfit Cheer, with a courteous reply from the winners.2
The whistle signal Leaders come here (dit-dit-dit-dah) might be introduced at this point and
used throughout the course.3
The synchronization of watches by all present might help to underline the importance of split
second punctuality.4
