Some of you might end up becoming an adviser for The Federation of Malaysian Scout
(Persekutuan Pengakap Malaysia). But most of you, i believe, will have no ideas what to do? here are some of the tips that might help you.
1. FMS (The Federation of Malaysian Scout) has several units under it:
1) Pengakap Kanak-kanak (Primary pupils)
2) Pengakap Muda (Lower secondary)
3) Pengakap Remaja (Upper Secondary).
4) Pengakap Kelana (Tertiary level)
5) Pemimpin and Pen.Pemimpin (the people who organise scout activities at schools or districts)
2. So basically, primary teachers will be playing with Pengakap Kanak-kanak and
Secondary teachers will be handling Pengakap Muda and Pengakap Remaja.
3.If you are an adviser, you are automatically appointed to either Pemimpin or Pen.Pemimpin. Make sure you have Pemimpin or Pen.Pemimpin uniform. Where to get it?
just go to the pejabat pengakap at your appointed district, usually they sell
uniforms. Oh yes, please dont forget to ask them how to arrange the badges on your uniforms.
4. For pengakap kanak-kanak, you must always remember that you are preparing them
for Rambu pengakap kanak-kanak (During their Year 5/6). They must pass three badges:
Keris Gangsa, Keris Perak and Keris Emas (Normally done in their Year 3, 4 and 5)
5. For Pengakap Muda, you are preparing them for Rambu pengakap Muda, provided
they pass Lencana Usaha, Maju and Jaya.
6. For Pengakap Remaja you are going to prepare them for Anugerah Pengakap Raja Malaysia. This is a must if you ask me. The certificate will be signed by all Sultans in Malaysia. At this point you must always keep in touch with the Kem Pengakap Negeri on the dates for Lima Lencana tertinggi Courses and Ujian Sikap Pengakap. Some Kem Pengakap Negeri will do express courses though; so please check the dates with them. If letters do not arrive, please do your job by going to the Kem Pengakap Negeri and get it by yourself.
7. Please make sure your kids' uniforms have the necessary badges and the badges should be sewed at the right place. Please note that Pengakap and Pandu Puteri are a Federation (Persekutuan)which hold a very high status compared to other uniform Units.
8. There are also courses for you pemimpin and pen.pemimpin known as Kursus Manik Kayu: Manik Kayu 2, 3 (national) and 4 (international).
9. Please, at least do the Manik Kayu 2. Please check the date with your Kem Pengakap Negeri.
10. Sometimes, there will be Kempori, Jambori and many other interesting activities planned for your students at the National level. So dont missed the opportunity, send your kids there for fun learning and valuable experiences.
11. For your reference, you might want to grab Buku Panduan Pengakap (Panduan Pengakap Kanak-kanak, Panduan Pengakap Muda or Panduan pengakap Remaja). This will be of great reference for you. You can grab this book at any bookshop. the price is quite reasonable and you can use it for a long time.
12. This is not an ultimate guide for scouting, but i hope it serves the basic information needed for becoming a good adviser of FMS at your school later.If you are to establish your name and career (teaching), this will be one of the great platforms.
13. Sorry i only have basic knowledge in Scouting and Silat. but for Silat, i think Faiz will be the right person to explain; he is the Guru.
cheers, Wassalam.
