Standards required for complete inspection success

After a meeting with the PLs and APLs on Friday the 27/02/04 it was decided that the following things would be marked during inspection and flag break.

	Uniform
	Behaviour/conduct

Uniform

	Green scout Shirt
	Badges attached in the correct locations
	Tucked in to trousers
	Ironed

Scarf

	21st Maidenhead red and white striped scarf
	Ironed
	rolled tightly and neatly
	A standard scout issue woggle

Shoes

	Clean
	Suitable for scouting

Trousers

	Smart clean trousers
	No holes
	No trousers that are so big and baggy that they drag on the floor
	To be supported by a scout belt
	NO blue denim

Behaviour/Conduct

During inspection and flag break scouts will be expected to adhere to the following rules

	No talking
	No messing around
	Stand in your correct patrol location in a straight line with the PL at on end and the APL at the other end of the line ( PL are responsible for telling you where your correct location is, ask them)
	Once at alert remain at alert until you are told to stand at ease, all other times stand still with your hand located behind your back.

The use of mobile phones is strictly prohibited during the whole evening so if you have to bring a mobile phone keep it in your patrol box turned off. Any scout found to have a mobile phone on them will have all his points deducted for that evening

The point will be calculated using the following weighting for each of the marking criteria

Uniform	Points available	Point won	Behaviour/Conduct	Points available	Point won
Shirt	3		Talking	4
Scarf	3		Conduct	4
Shoes	2		Correct location	2
Trousers	2		Mobile phone	All point lost
	10			10

The points are per scout and so each scout will receive their points out of ten.

Uniform	Points available	Point won	Behaviour/Conduct	Points available	Point won
Shirt	3	2	Talking	4	2
Scarf	3	2	Conduct	4	2
Shoes	2	1	Correct location	2	2
Trousers	2	2	Mobile phone	All point lost
	10	7		10	6

In the example above the scout was awarded 15 points for the inspection. The points for the patrol are then averaged out, which means the points for each member is added together and divided by the number of members in a patrol, giving the average number of point per patrol member in that patrol. The patrol which receives to highest points average will be the winning patrol on that night.

Prizes will be decided by your PLs and APLs once the system is up to satisfactory standard
