Hoisting a flag

In the navy , the correct time to hoist colours when in port is at 8am between March and September , and 9am between October and February , the colours lowered at sunset . When at sea , the ensign (flag) should always be flown and or getting under way after sunset it should be hoisted if there is light enough to see it .

If a ship enters a foreign port and any special celebrations are on , she may fly the ensign of that country from the masthead , wearing , of course her own ensign aft.

As a sign of national mourning the ensign should be flown at half-mast ; if it has not been hoisted previously it should first of all be hoisted close up and the lowered to half-mast , while to lower an ensign from half-mast it is first hoisted close up and then lowered .

When a national flag is hoisted upside down , it is a signal of distress and indicates that assistance is required ; while to hoist another nation's flag upside down is an insult , so care should be taken that it is always hoisted correctly !
So all scouts please do remember not to break a flag upside down !

If a ship is seen with the ensign of one country flown above that of another on the same mast , it means that the ship has been captured by the country whose ensign is on top.

That's all for now !

Merry Christmas to all Scouts !

Merry Christmas Scouts!

p/s : Congrats to those who got straight As in PMR and if not , strive harder for SPM !

A new badge for all scouts

There is a news around stating that all Malaysian Scouts are to wear the WOSM(World Organization of the Scout Movement) badge which is the size of our 50cents coin. This badge has been officially launched during the recent 12th Malaysian Jamboree which was held in the state of Terengganu. The badge must be worn above the right pocket where the Malaysia Flag badge is located and also above our name tags . The chief scout and chief patrol of PPM have placed it on their uniform too . Here is a picture of the badge .

It was informed that this badge has been worn by all scouts in the ASIA PACIFIC REGION except MALAYSIA until now . Well I guess all we have to do is wait till the circular arrives . Happy scouting !
