1.0 THE PARADE

Below are some guiding principles for parades:
a) A parade should start with an inspection of all that are on it
b) A strict observance of Appointment should be shown; thus when a Scout
wishes to either join or leave the parade, he should report to the senior
Appointment and ask permission to do so.
c) Scouts should not walk across a parade ground when drills, in which they
have no part, are taking place.
d) The form and purpose of parade should be planned before-hand by those
who are to command it.
e) At the end of parade, all Appointment “dismisses” to show respect to the
senior Appointment on parade.
2.0 QUALITY OF INSTRUCTIONS

Drill is exciting to teach, and to teach it successfully, you, as an Instructor
must have the following qualities:
a) PATIENCE: Never lose your temper
b) ENTHUSIASM: You must install your squad with a will to learn
c) CONSISTENCY: Set yourself and the squad a standard and do not divert
from it.
d) HUMANITY: Understand the squad problems, praise readily but not
too frequent and never humiliate individual members of
the squad
e) PERSONALITY: As an Instructor, you must impress your squad with your
personality and always control them firmly.
4
CUON SCOUT GROUP

SINGAPORE 518969

3.0 FACTORS TO CONSIDER BEFORE TEACHING DRILL

Without considering these factors it may affect the effectiveness of the lesson.
a) Select the best location.
b) Comfort the squad - that they are not facing the sun.
c) Formation of the squad either 3 side of the square, half circle, straight line
or 3 ranks in open order i.e. depending on the strength of the squad.
4.0 INSTRUCTION METHOD AND FORMATION

Instruction to the trainees must be in a firm and loud enough manner. Verbal
commands and demonstrations should always be clear and visual
demonstrations should be from all perspectives if possible i.e. all angles.
Instructions should always come in 2 parts.
a) Explanation - This is verbal and it is to get the trainees aware of the

requirement and the Expected movement associated with the command.
This is done with Demonstration by instructors and assistants to show
trainees when to move and how to move. This can be done in steps and
later, the full motion. Every trainee must understand this before moving to
the next step.
b) Practice - Trainees would now be given the opportunity to imitate the

instructor on the required movement. This imitation would later on be
corrected by assisting trainers and demonstrators to perfection and
required standards. Once imitation of steps and parts of a movement is
satisfactory, trainees can practice the full motion to get the required result.
Formation of a drill course trainee should be in a U-Shaped formation. This is
done with a percentage of about 1/3 of the total strength on each side and the
5
CUON SCOUT GROUP

SINGAPORE 518969

instructor located at the open end of the U-Shape. Assisting instructors should
take a length if possible, if not, should be the middle of U-Shape.
5.0 CHECKING FAULTS

Instructors should always look for fault movement of the squad and individual. If
there is any mistake, the Instructor should immediately correct the individual or
squad as a whole.
For example, “XYZ, your elbow is bending. Straighten it by keeping your elbow
close to the side of your body.”
6.0 WORDS
Use short precise words to convey the speed of a good drill. E.g. Words like.
“Crack”, “Drive”, “Force” & “Grip”, but remember action not words.
7.0 OBSERVATION
• Ensure that everyone is alert and paying careful attention to the lesson.
• Ensure that the trainees are at proper position, i.e. either in “Senang Diri”
or “Rehatkan Diri” during demonstration.
• Ensure that the trainees call out the timing loudly.

SINGAPORE 518969

8.0 INSTRUCTORS ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITY

Teaching the squad on foot drill is a difficult task for an Instructor especially when
the trainees do not understand each other. Nevertheless as an Instructor, you
must have full confidence in yourself. The problem could be overcome, as a
common language for this both simple and easy to follow.
a) Role - The role of instructor is to teach and instruct cadets on the proper
procedures of the drill conduct. They are also to ensure that at the end of
the lesson trainee are clear on the required standards to be achieved.
Instructors play the role of a care giver in the situation of trainees feeling
unwell. They are to brief assisting trainers on safety precautions to be
taken and things to take note during training.
b) Responsibility - They’re to ensure many things in order to achieve the

desired outcome of effective and safe training. The instructor is to ensure
that the place for conduct is safe from hazardous and potentially
hazardous and dangerous situation. The instructor is also to update
oneself on the current situation and drill procedures this is to ensure that
the cadets get a productive lesson and are confident with the instructions
of the trainer. The instructor is to ensure proper training ground and
suitable location.
7
CUON SCOUT GROUP

SINGAPORE 518969

In teaching drills trainees would imitate their Instructors, the way they conduct
lesson in drill; and also judges by their bearing, personal appearance and
knowledge to maintain the high standard of discipline. It is by example that
they should learn most; therefore the Instructors should bear in mind the
following notes:
1) When drilling a squad, Instructors must always stand at attention.
2) When moving about from point to point, always march as you would
wish your squad to march.
3) When demonstrating, do accurately.
9.0 POINTS TO REMEMBER

1) Do not use bad languages.
2) High standard of turn out.
3) Never exaggerate a movement of drill
10.0 VOICE PROJECTION

Instructors should always teach trainees as well as use the technique of proper
voice projection. Voice projection comes from the expelling of air from the
diaphragm. The lack of control from the diaphragm would lead to poor voice
volume control and sometimes embarrassing situations of command. (Squeaky
voice, etc.) Trainees are to put their palms flat on the upper region of their
stomach, near the end of the rib cage to feel the diaphragm’s movement.
Trainees should note that the expelling of air causes the diaphragm to deflate
and when commands are given through the deflation and forcing out the air, the
commands become very loud and audible. This is a sustainable method of
commanding a squad. The use of the voice box to throw voice will lead to the
8
CUON SCOUT GROUP

SINGAPORE 518969

damage and tear of the larynx and sometimes permanent damage to voice box
(throat).
When giving commands trainees should be taught to open their mouths as much
as possible and not to squeeze the command through a small opening of their
mouths. This is to make the command come out loud and clear and allow air
from the diaphragm to expel.
Mouth exercises should be conducted by instructors before the start of the

course. O, AR, Ee sounding exercises to warm up the opening of the jaw
muscles for proper command technique.
One way of training the Scouts in terms of voice projection is to allow them to
experiment with their own techniques with guidance on diaphragm usage and
then put Scouts about 10 – 20 meters away in distance and instruct them to give
commands that may be audible to assigned trainees. Rotation to trainees is
important as everyone must be given the opportunity to feel being in command
and also ability to control the squad comes with good practice.

SINGAPORE 518969

11.0 METHOD OF COMMANDING

1. Introducing - the introductory words of command, serve to generally
advise personnel of an intention; this is given in a clear deliberate level
tone.
2. Cautionary - the cautionary words of command, which gives imminent

warning of the movement, is normally a word of one syllable. This is to be
given as a loud extended call and for a large parade may need to be made
to last several seconds.
3. Executive - this is immediately followed by the executive command (the

signal for the movement to be carried out) which is given distinctly and
very sharply, care being taken not to lower the voice; thus:
Example:
Clear Level Voice Extended Call Falling Sharp Loud Voice
SUDDEN
(INTRODUCTORY) (CAUTIONARY) (EXECUTIVE)
Begerak ke-kanan bertiga-tiga… Ke-kanan, Pu… SING!

12.0 WELFARE AND WELL BEING OF TRAINEES

• The welfare of the trainees are of the utmost importance as it can be
strenuous activity where trainees stand under the sun (if there is no
shelter and in the afternoon, regardless of timing) and where trainees
stand for long hours with limited blood circulation to their body. These
contributing factors may lead to poor circulation and fainting spells or
dehydration when there is excessive loss of water from the body from
standing under the sun.
• Instructors are to take note that the first lesson for trainees should not be
more than 20 minutes continuously. Trainees should be trained
progressively to last an hour of parade time and even more.
• Instructors should also take note that there should be a break of 10

minutes for every 30 minutes of continuous training. A supervised water
parade should be done before and after the training to prevent
dehydration and trainees should drink beyond the point of thirst. At NO
time should trainees be force fed water as this will lead to complications
and vomiting.
• There must be a water point located with drinkable plain water, cooled if
possible and not iced as this will cause a dramatic drop in temperature
suddenly and cause discomfort to the trainees who will feel very hot after
a training session.
11
CUON SCOUT GROUP

SINGAPORE 518969

• There must be a medic present and this assigned medic should be able to
identify and treat a patient suffering from dehydration, low blood pressure,
shock and wounds such as fractures and scraps as well as blisters from
the training session. This medic will be briefed on the information channel
and the activating of personnel with regards to life threatening injuries and
serious injuries.
• A shady rest point should be identified so that trainees can rest

comfortably in the shade and not be exposed to the sun at all times even
during rest.
• Trainees should be given a channel of feedback in the case they are

unwell.
13.0 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• ALL trainees must be asked whether they are feeling well and should NOT
be forced to take part in the training if they are unwell.
• ALL trainees must be asked at the end of the training whether they are
unwell or whether they have suffered any injuries in the course of their
training to indemnify against the arguments due to negligence of trainees.
• ALL trainees who are on medication will NOT be allowed to take part in
the training and this must be ascertained as a group BEFORE training
starts.
12
CUON SCOUT GROUP

SINGAPORE 518969

• Relevant authorities must be kept informed of training and timing of

training must be adhered to. No unauthorized extension or shortening of
time schedule is allowed to prevent complications from pre planning stage.
