Upcoming Hostess Badge for Sec 1s
Hello everyone!
Yup as the title suggests, this post contains all the information you (sec 1s) need to know on what you will have to do to attain the hostess badge - it's the one badge you absolutely can't afford to miss, so read closely!
Purpose of this badge is to show that YOU as a guide can be a qualified good host to others, besides being equipped with skills on table etiquette and such. It's important because you guys will then be able to partake in refreshment duties like the rest of us next year after this, isn't that exciting (think of the good food you'll be able to stuff yourself silly with during clearing up)! :D
Anyway, I apologise for the late post, just got home like not long ago. There are 3 parts in total:
1. Entertain the testers (max 3 guests) at afternoon tea. (5-10min)*Marks will be awarded as follows:
·whether the menu served is appropriate (Guides just need to bring ONE food item suitable for the theme - afternoon tea)
·entertainment factor of the host - greetings, making the guests feel welcome, able to strike conversation with ease with the guests etc[decide and tell testers at the start what kind of guests they are: strangers, family, friends etc]
·body language - etiquette in serving the guests, offering food & drinks etc2. Know, and where possible demonstrate, the chief things to remember when entertaining a guest or guests by laying of table. (5min to prepare)*Marks will be awarded as follows:
·whether the table is properly laid according to the theme afternoon tea (to serve 2-3 guests)
·Guides need to bring their own table cloth, napkin, cutleries, ONE food item to be served, cups, plates, teapot etc3. a) Write an invitation card inviting to a tea party (any theme, e.g. formal, informal, children, adults, animals etc)
*Marks will be awarded as follows:
·creativity & attractiveness of card (according to theme)
·content of card is relevant & detailed (time, venue, dress code etc)
·language use is appropriate & relevant to the mode of guests
3. b) Write a letter refusing an invitation (one to be formal).
*Marks will be awarded as follows:
·format of letter
·content of letter is relevant
·appropriate use of language
All these will be done during activities, so please bring only the materials needed and NOT start doing at home beforehand. However, annual camp is just less than 2 days later, so let's focus on the that first, and you can continue the preparations after that. Thanks alot:D
