On the 6th and 7th of July 2019, the
Bronzes and Silvers had their trainings for their coming practice and
qualifying hike. In the sessions, the Golds and volunteers provided the
Visioneers with basic hiking skills and the knowledge necessary to keep
themselves safe in a wilderness setting.
On the first day, an outdoor training
was held in L’Amoreaux Tennis Centre. The session was divided into 4 parts –
making a shelter by tying knots, setting up a camping tent, wild cooking using
a stove, and finding directions using a compass and a map. At the end of the
training, Visioneers played human knot and tug-of-war. They had a wonderful
time in the training.
The Visioneers had an indoor training
in Bayview Community Centre on the second day. In the workshop, they learned
about basic first aid skills, for instance, treating cuts, burns and shock.
They also acquired knowledge on how to avoid poisonous plants and remove ticks.
In addition, they learned how to pack a hiking backpack properly. It is hoped
that the Visioneers can make the best use of their skills learned in the
trainings and enjoy their hike.
