At the command March, No. 1 of the front rank stands fast; the other members move forward to their proper places in the line.
The Oblique March
For the instruction of the recruits, the squad being in column or correctly aligned, the instructor causes the Scouts to face half right and half left, points out to them their relative positions, and explains that these are to be maintained in the oblique march.
1 Right (or Left) Oblique, 2 March.
At the command March, each Scout steps off in a direction forty-five degrees to the right of her original front. She preserves her relative position, keeping her shoulders parallel to those of the guide, and so regulates her steps that the ranks remain parallel to their original front.
At the command Halt the Scouts face to the front.
To resume the original directions: 1 Forward, 2 March.
The Scouts half face to the left in marching and then move straight to the front.
To Turn on Moving Pivot
