Purpose

The purpose of drill is to:

1. Enable a commander to move his unit from one place to another in an orderly manner.
3/ Aid in disciplinary training by instilling habits of precision and response to the leader’s orders.
3. Provide a means, through ceremonies, of enhancing the morale of troops, developing the spirit of cohesion, and presenting traditional, interesting and well-executed military parades.
4. Provide for the development of all scouts in the practice of commanding troops.

Drill Instructor’s Notes
It is necessary that at all times, all instructors set the highest possible example in turnout and in their personal drill. If a squad once gets the idea that their instructor is either scruffy or inefficient, he will never regain their confidence. Instructors must have confidence in themselves and they must know perfectly well what they are trying to teach.
