2009-07-20T01:13:00.000-07:00

as stated on the official page, the head of contingent visit will be next month. unfortunately, we have no news on who will be leading the contingent and who is temporary looking after this matter in terms of organising it or prepared the contingent.

therefore, i am not sure we will have any further information on the campsite and also the progress update from the jamboree committee soon or not.

however, i might be making a trip to sweden, finland, norway, denmark, poland, chech republic. the target plan of 2011 to have a survey and make connection with the scout association for the preparation work. ( i must make it clear, this is our group plan and not the national HQ travelling plan).

i hope my trip will be materialise in september this year if not will be in next february (winter, i bet i will not choose this month).

till then is me jacob..........., please view the information from the official website:

Head of Contingent Visit

jamboree from the eyes of a leader part 2

2008-11-02T00:31:00.000-07:00

The scout leader should BELIEVE in the ideas of the jamboree...he/she should BELIEVE that a World Scout Jamboree holds plenty of educational and experiential lessons for the scouts which is beneficial for the growth of the scout in terms of training ?

What does this mean ?

In simple words, you believe that for the amount of money the scout is going to pay, its more than worth it....in terms of education and experience lah!

There are some things scout training can only take so much...i.e. badgework etc etc. Scouts may get bored or even not motivated enough to do the logs and finish tests...

But throw in a jamboree (any jamboree lah..but better if WSJ), and the Scout gets a breath of fresh air and gives new meaning to scouting.

The WSJ widens the scout’s horizons...rather than he/she views scouting on troop/district/state level with usual activities....

Let the scout experience INTERNATIONAL experience. Different cultures. Different activities. A WSJ is a place where a scout is free to mingle with other scouts without fear of prejudice or discrimination.

jamboree from the eyes of a leader part 1

2008-11-02T00:19:00.000-07:00

To successfully promote the 2011WSJ, scout leaders need to take proactive action to promote to their own respective troop scout boys. No amount of publicity or promotion from the national contingent or state/district will be as good as the boys’ own scoutmaster telling them about the 2011WSJ.

What factors make it easier to get boys motivated to go 2011WSJ and work towards it ?

The Scout leader:

a. Went to a WSJ before as a boy

b. Went to a WSJ before as a leader

c. Went to a national jamboree before

d. Has positive experiences from any of the above.

What might be a problem is, not all scout leaders have the chance to do go to a WSJ when they were younger or even go to a WSJ before ! Why ?

a. Not enough publicity/promotion reach them for previous world jamboree

b. Even if enough promotion motivate them, they are not guided on how to plan and go (finances are the most important factor here)

So....the key thing is to get the scout leader motivated about the jamboree! Not necessary to go lah. The scout leader may have commitments with :

a. Work

b. Family

2008-11-01T22:24:00.000-07:00

Besides, its nice to have the badges to show off to share with other scouts of the world your achievement.

Stay motivated

Yes, the jamboree is a long time from now 3 years ?
But the main challenge is FINANCES.

Its not going to be easy to stay motivated, but if and when you do, it will come easier.

You will have parents/friends/relatives who MAY discourage you...
“SPEND SO MUCH FOR A SCOUT CAMP!”
“14 days = RM 8000! Where got worth it..”
“Go Malaysian jamboree enough laa...”

So..the key thing is always ask yourself
WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO GO TO A WORLD SCOUT JAMBOREE
(this of course is a topic for a different discussion)

When you found that answer, remind yourself everyday.

Tips: Put up posters of the 2011 WSJ (as far as we know, promotional material is just out fresh from oven).. visual reminders on your wall

Talk to people who have been to the WSJ before. Well, if they give you bad impressions...chances are..the problem might be them. 95% of scouts who have been to the WSJ described it as a life changing experience. For the better, of course.

If can, ask them to show you their WSJ photos or badges or souvenirs.

Search and read of WSJ history (this may be boring to some people)... Like here:
http://www.pinetreeweb.com/1920-jamboree.htm

Be the best scout you can be. This doesn’t need further description.

again.... why go jamborees part 2

2008-11-01T22:12:00.000-07:00

Badgework

A lot of the activities in a WSJ are really challenging. Its a good idea to finish up your scout badges to the highest level (King Scout of course).

WHY ?
Badgework teaches you character and skill. Skills especially needed to function in a jamboree.

When a scout is going a jamboree, he/she is expected to having a good standard of skill i.e. he/she is capable of setting up a stable tent (that doesn’t collapse or leak rain), cook good delicious meals (decent isn’t good enough..thats why we have TUKANG MASAK tests), and even some basic pioneering.

And chances are, the Malaysian Contingent will set a standard i.e. Seniro Scout should complete 5 seniro badges before going to jamboree... please don’t chase badges ONLY to go jofr jamboree i.e. in 2011, you are form 5, then only you start doing JAYADIRI and so on so forth...

(tips by FORAGECAP @2008. DIS, PL4)

again.... why go jamborees part 1

2008-11-01T22:03:00.000-07:00

Do you know why you want to go to the World Scout Jamboree ?

Ok, let’s say you know all the details i.e. the date, the place etc etc
The question is what should you do ... NOW

Finances

Jamboree is not cheap. The Jamboree (camp) fee for last World Scout Jamboree was nearly RM 4000. Add to this your airflight (referring to last year’s WSJ flight from Malaysia-UK) is around RM 4000 also.

SO this time, its in Sweden. And no direct flight there.

Let’s put the estimate to be RM 8000 for now. (will most probably be more)

We haven’t included pocket money for souvenirs. Don’t worry you won’t starve there as food is provided (included in your jamboree fee)

Save UP!

How to save up ? There’s some good tips by a scout leader here at this site : http://2011simplyscouting.blogspot.com/2008/08/financial-planning-for-2011-wsj.htm

Its a start. So Start now.

Where is the Jamboree?
The 22nd World Scout Jamboree will take place on the fields of Rinkaby, outside the town of Kristianstad in the very south of Sweden. The closest major town with a large international airport is Copenhagen in Denmark. Rinkaby is only one and a half hours by coach or train from Kastrup airport.

The Jamboree has three entry points:
Copenhagen airport, Kastrup, Denmark
Kristianstad railroad station
The onsite Jamboree coachstation

The Jamboree organisers will offer transport from any of the above entry points to the Jamboree site.

Jamboree site
We have a beautiful Jamboree site with natural surroundings and excellent facilities. The site has already been tested twice for camps with over 20 000 participants. Just imagine the 22nd World Scout Jamboree here…

world scout jamboree bulletin 1 part 6

2008-10-15T11:20:00.000-07:00

Jamboree fee
Registration fees for the 22nd World Scout Jamboree are tiered in a system based on the Gross National Income (GNI) per capita of each country(the same criteria as for membership fees to WOSM). There are four levels of registration fee, as follows:

Category A	1625 SEK *
Category B	3250 SEK *
Category C	4875 SEK *
Category D	6500 SEK *
* All fees are charged in Swedish Kroner (SEK)

National Scout Organisations can confirm their category with the Jamboree Office.

The Jamboree fee for the 22nd World Scout Jamboree applies for participants, unit leaders, members of the Contingent Management Team and International Service Team.

Information about how to pay and the payment schedules will be distributed in a later Bulletin.

Operation One World
Scouts from every country in the world should have the chance to come to the 22nd World Scout Jamboree. To help Scouts who have economic difficulties to participate in the Jamboree, a solidarity fund has been established, called Operation One World. Operation One World will ensure that all fund recipients have everything they need to fully participate in the event.

Fundraising for Operation One World has already begun, and several large target donors have been identified. National Scout Organisations are also essential to the success of the Operation. Contributions to Operation One World can be through direct financial donations or through helping participants from a specific part of the world. Contingents are encouraged to think about how they can expand any existing partnerships they have to include participation at the Jamboree.

Home Hospitality
The 22nd World Scout Jamboree will offer a Home Hospitality concept (family or Scout-house stay) in Sweden, Norway, Denmark or Finland. It will be possible for Contingents to apply for 3-4 days Home Hospitality before or after the Jamboree. A separate fee will apply to participants in the Home Hospitality programme. Details will be presented later.

Webshop
Following the demand for our Simply Scouting garments at the 21st World Scout Jamboree in the UK, we have prepared our first collection of Jamboree profile products. From July 2008 it is possible to buy these items from our web shop. The collection includes t-shirts, sweaters, softshell jackets, daypacks, badges and many other items. The outdoor garments are all manufactured by Haglöfs, a quality Swedish outdoor clothing brand.

The webshop can be found at:
www.worldscoutjamboree.se/shop.

world scout jamboree bulletin 1 part 5

2008-10-15T11:11:00.001-07:00

Participants and unit leaders
Participants at the 22nd World Scout Jamboree are young people aged between 14 and 17 years old. They must have been born between 25 July 1993 and 27 July 1997. As has been the case for previous World Scout Jamborees, the Scout unit size is 36 young people and 4 adult leaders. The unit should be organised into 4 patrols of 9 young people.

If your Contingent does not have enough patrols to form a complete unit, you will be joined with patrols from other countries to form a unit. Each patrol in a combined unit must provide one adult leader.

International Service Team
An estimated 8 000 staff are needed to run the Jamboree, and these will come from countries all around the world. Being a staff member is an exciting opportunity where you can make a contribution to the young people of the world today.

The International Service Team (IST) will be open to active Scouts aged 18 or over at the start of the Jamboree (born on or before the 24 July 1993). Members of the IST should be able to speak English and/or French and be prepared to take on any task needed to create the Jamboree. IST must arrive on site 25 July 2011 and can leave 8 August 2011.

Jamboree Planning Team
Those involved with planning and preparing for the 22nd World Scout Jamboree are included in the Jamboree Planning Team. The Jamboree Planning Team is an international team and information on how to apply will be distributed later. All members of the Jamboree Planning Team must be active Scouts and have the approval of their National Scout Organisations.

Pre-registration
Pre-registration for the 22nd World Scout Jamboree is already possible. This is an important planning tool for the Jamboree Executive Team as it helps us to estimate the likely size of the Jamboree at an early stage. Pre-registration does not guarantee a Contingent places, nor does it commit you to a Contingent size.
Please fill in the form found in Appendix II: Pre-registration Form.

Appointment of Head of Contingent
Every National Contingent to the World Scout Jamboree must have a leader who is responsible for the Contingent. The Head of Contingent is appointed by the National Scout Organisation and is the contact person for the Jamboree Office.

It is important for us to make contact with Heads of Contingents as soon as possible. Please fill in the Appointment of Head of Contingent Form, found in Appendix I, and send it back to the Jamboree Office.

world scout jamboree bulletin 1 part 4

2008-10-15T10:53:00.000-07:00

All Scouts participating in the 22nd World Scout Jamboree must be registered members of a National Scout Organisation that is recognised by the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM). If your country has several Associations, you will need to come together in one Contingent.

Members of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) may take part in the 22nd World Scout Jamboree under the conditions agreed between WOSM and WAGGGS as follows:
For Scout and Guide National Organisations (those that are members of both WOSM and WAGGGS – “SAGNOs”), invitations to the World Scout Jamborees are addressed not only to WOSM registered members but also to those registered with WAGGGS.

Youth and adults of National Girl Guide/Girl Scout Organisations (members of WAGGGS only) may attend the event with the agreement of the WOSM organisation in their country. Girl Guides/Girl Scouts attending must join the Contingent from the respective National Scout Organisation.

Participation from a single National Scout Organisation must not exceed 10% of the total expected number of participants agreed by the World Scout Committee. For the 22nd World Scout Jamboree, Contingents may not exceed 4000, including youth participants, unit leaders, IST members and Contingent Management Teams (CMT)

Contingent Management Teams
Each National Contingent has the possibility of bringing a support team of adult leaders – a Contingent Management Team (CMT). Contingent Management Teams will camp and eat in the Adult Town at the 22nd World Scout Jamboree.

Each Contingent is limited in the number of adults they may bring on their Contingent Management Team, depending on the number of young people in the Contingent.

The Jamboree Programme

The Jamboree programme encompasses everything at the World Scout Jamboree.
The Scouts will experience the 22nd World Scout Jamboree through five areas:
subcamp life, module activities, common areas, arena events and Camp in Camp.

Subcamp Life
Subcamps are the homes of the Scouts at the Jamboree. This is where most of the everyday camp life takes place; sleeping, cooking, cleaning etc. At the World Scout Jamboree, Scouts will have the tools to create their own home and plenty of time for subcamp life. The close environment of a subcamp makes it easier to get to know new friends from other countries and to build genuine understanding of each other. At the 22nd World Scout Jamboree all subcamps will have their own place to “hang around” with a small café, campfire circle, unscheduled activities, etc. Subcamp life makes it possible for each Scout to influence and create his or her own Jamboree experience.

Module Activities
The module activities aim to give the Scouts knowledge and tools relevant to the needs of young people in the world today. Here, National Scout Organisations, non-governmental organisations and others gather their expertise to make fun, educational and challenging activities.

The module activities will include programme focusing on sharing of cultures, the environment,
sustainable development, social engagement, global development issues, respect for oneself and for others, health, community development, peace and much more. The activities will use the patrol as an important entity and aim at being very active.

Common Areas
Everything outside the subcamps and scheduled activity areas are Common Areas; common to share for everyone at the Jamboree. Common Areas are designed to facilitate meetings and there will be, for example, cafés, unscheduled activities, exhibitions and also specific space for spiritual programme and religious practise.

Arena Events
At the 22nd World Scout Jamboree there will be three big arena events: the Opening Ceremony, a major event in the middle of the Jamboree, and the Closing Ceremony. These are events where the audience members are not merely spectators but play an important interactive part.

Camp in Camp
For a few days, 100-200 Scouts will take part in a smaller camp away from the main camp area. This “Camp in Camp” will give each and every one of the participating Scouts a chance to experience nature and small scale camping, Swedish style. This will be an opportunity for getting to know a smaller group of new friends.

world scout jamboree bulletin 1 part 2

2008-10-15T02:53:00.000-07:00

Within the idea of Simply Scouting, there are three key concepts for the World Scout Jamboree in Sweden: meetings, nature and solidarity.

Meetings
The 22nd World Scout Jamboree is organised to encourage meetings: meetings across cultures, characters, interests, religions, countries, continents and more. Everything at the Jamboree will take this into consideration; from module activities to subcamp life, from small camp fires to huge arena events. As well as the programme, the actual Jamboree site will be designed to create meeting places and the Jamboree schedule will include plenty of time for spontaneous meetings.

Nature
A World Scout Jamboree in Sweden means being close to nature. Outdoor life is very accessible in Sweden and it is an important part of Swedish culture. For Swedish Scouting, the challenge of living outdoors with nature is also a tool in the Scout method. Closeness to nature also reveals the vulnerability of our environment. Wherever possible across the Jamboree, we will demonstrate sustainable environmental practice. The programme will especially focus on giving young people tools to take action for the environment.

Solidarity
Solidarity means being a part of the global Scout Movement. At the Jamboree, we all share values and common goals: the development of young people for life.

Solidarity means recognising connections between peoples and how dependent we are on each other. The Jamboree will emphasise the common responsibility we have to our world and to each other.

Solidarity encompasses how we treat other people, and includes respect, equal rights and peace. At the World Scout Jamboree, all are equal, independent of any personal characteristics or background. These issues will also be explored in many of the Jamboree activities.

world scout jamboree bulletin 1 part 1

2008-10-15T02:35:00.000-07:00

Simply Scouting

The 22nd World Scout Jamboree Sweden 2011 is Simply Scouting. Scouting in all its variety, from all across the world. Nothing more, nothing less.

The World Scout Jamboree mirrors the Scout world. All the diversity and knowledge from different Scout cultures around the world is gathered in one place. The event is inspiring and contributes to the development of the Scout movement.

Scouting delivers the answers to the needs of young people and this Jamboree is simply scouting. The 22nd World Scout Jamboree offers a modern programme that lives up to the challenges young people meet in today’s society. Scouts will leave with new tools to take action in their local and wider community.

The Scout method is a fundamental element of Simply Scouting. The Scout method and our common Scout values are the building stones for everything we do. We work in small groups, we trust young people to create their own experiences and learn from those experiences and we provide value-based leadership that is attentive and supportive.

All parts of the Jamboree experience are Simply Scouting and all are equally important. The 22nd World Scout Jamboree is a camp where spontaneous meetings are as valuable as the scheduled activities. Everyday elements of camp life - building, cooking and singing at a camp fire - all challenge Scouts to develop new skills and to meet, connect and work towards international understanding.

What is a bulletin?

The purpose of the World Scout Jamboree Bulletins is to provide National Scout Organisations with all the information they need, at the right time, to help prepare for the 22nd World Scout Jamboree. We have planned Bulletins once or twice a year throughout the lead-up to the Jamboree.

The Bulletins will be sent out through ScoutPak and our expectation is that you will then distribute the information to your members. Where Heads of Contingents have been appointed, we will also send the Bulletins directly to them.

In addition to the Bulletins there are several other ways to find information, the website being the main one.

When the participants leave the 22nd World Scout Jamboree in Sweden they will be able to say:

I’ve had the best two weeks of my l ife!
I’m proud to be me and to be a Scout
I ’ve learnt so much about people and
cultures from all over the world
I want to make a difference in the world
today and I feel ready to take action

1. 和您的父母／长辈／教练商量有关您储蓄的计划。我觉得这是非常重要的一个步骤。告知他们您想要参加的理由和您要如何来储蓄及筹备经费。然后编写一个大概的储蓄计划（如以下的例子）。每隔两个星期或每个月都由他们来帮助您检讨您的储蓄状况和进度。$ ]4 H7 F" O) s" r0 S& q7 N7 Z
/ l/ j: v! S' a0 Y
这是非常重要的。这也强制促使您需要向别人报告储蓄近况并需要为自己的储蓄负责任。更重要的是，这样子的话，就可以训练您的纪律和坚定您要参加大露营的决心。
9 @& {: [/ {: C h
2. 开设银行户口（如果您还没有户口的话）。确保您的银行户口靠近您的家。' i0 D+ ^: `. h! E5 a) Y
# |$ F; z0 {( N) o. Q
3. 为自己准备一个扑满来储存多余的零钱。当您外出回来的时候，一定有剩余的零钱。很多时候，这些零钱都随便乱丢，遗留在沙发上，地上，或许也可能遗留在裤袋里，在洗衣机清洗的时候，散得到处都是。养成习惯，把所有剩余的零钱收集在扑满内。一定要确保这个储蓄扑满不是那么容易打开的。要不然的话，可能下一分钟就可能轻易的给您花掉了。

1 _. \5 \! Z3 ~3 O
4. 设定一个每天／每个星期该储蓄数额的目标。是的。你认为距离大露营还有很长的一段时间。但是要知道的是开销也不便宜哦！举例说，如果设下目标为储蓄父母每个星期／月给的零用钱总数内的25%来达成目标。或者是任何您认为实际的数额（巴仙率）。

* C, O2 A! @# C2 X; g) G

最重要的是一定要持之以恒（需有恒心）。您将会面对最大的问题在于推动力. 我们稍后再谈.

5. 设法减少您的日常开销，特别是出外用餐，食堂等。或许可以安排一个星期内两天带便当去学校吃？可能的话，每天！当然，食堂内的美食非常吸引人。哈哈！但是如果已经在家里准备了便当/食物，您就可以省下这些开销了。

6. 趁假期的时候打一分临时工。储蓄是一个缓慢的过程。您并不能够在短期内马上就看到回筹。打临时工，将会训练，教导您金钱的价值。钱不容易赚。或许能够训练您更加节省！

7. 血拼（购物）-当然我们都需要衣服，玩具，书本，游戏机等。但是停下来想想，是否能够找到更便宜，合理的价钱呢？养成这样的习惯吧！只在大促销的时候购买。如果不能够压制您购买的欲望，尝试减少和朋友到超级市场的次数。只和家人一齐外出，购买您需要的用品。
: s( m4 g1 ?8 T- w9 @
8. 如果每个星期都看戏，很贵的哦！尝试需要的时候，只和家人去。或者是减少到一个月一次？
& L& v _3 J& L& |( B" o! ]
9. 游说和讥笑。朋友在生活中的影响力最大。他们的服饰，购买些什么东西，做了些什么，可能就会影响到您。您最好的朋友可能买了一对新的Nike球鞋，或是新的 XBOX 360电动游戏，您的同学刚刚给大家看了她刚刚又买的Nokia N系列手提电话。。。

没错。非常诱人。但是您可以和怀着同样信念的朋友述说（要参加大露营的朋友），看看他们是如何面对这些诱惑。; k4 n5 s, \% ^4 Q) L0 `

或者向您的父母长辈询问。
2 h) S8 C! i( `4 M! `, Q; B
10. 手提电话。偿还账单。不要发送无谓的简讯。如果真的需要的话，就是用公共电话，或者使用家里的电话。不要花好几个小时讲电话（如果您可以在学校或补习班内见到对方的话）。5 K5 _6 Q8 P n- `% v5 ]1 y0 \

如果你有男/女朋友的话，就向他/她解释您的用意。如果他/她也是童军的话，他/她会谅解的。通常他/她都会明白您储蓄的用意是为了参加大露营，或者加入您的行列，和您一齐储蓄。如果还是不明白的话，还甩掉他/她算了。（哈哈！不是我说的。部落格内直接翻译的！）( F! W8 `( o$ j# T

financial planning for the 2011 wsj

2008-08-28T02:38:00.000-07:00

Okay. Before we go into details on how to save up for the 2011 WSJ, it is worthwhile to look into the costs of previous jamborees.

2002/03 WSJ in Thailand
Jamboree Fee = USD 441 (approx RM 1700) – inclusive of food, camping fees, etc
Air Fare = (estimated approx RM 1200 at that time)
Contingent fees = RM300
Minimum Cost = RM 3200

2007 WSJ in UK
Jamboree Fee = UK Pound 378 (approx RM 2646) – inclusive of food, camping fees, etc
Air Fare = (estimated approx RM 3500 current price)
Contingent fees = RM350
Minimum Cost = RM 6496

So... How can we save up for 2011 ?

Simple things for simply scouting :

1. Discuss with your parents/scoutmaster about your plan to save up. I think this is the most important step. Tell them why you want to go..and what steps you going to take to save up. Then outline the steps you plan (examples are below) and review them every 2 weeks or every month for them to check your progress.

This is very important as this makes you have to report or be accountable to someone about your finances. More importantly, this will train you to be disciplined and serious in going to the jamboree.

2. Open a bank account if you don’t already have one. Make sure the bank account you plan to open is near to your home.

3. Set up a piggy bank or tabung to keep extra coins/money. Whenever you go out, you tend to have spare change in your pocket while returning from home. These money usually gets thrown somewhere...left in the sofa, on the floor, or even left in your trousers pocket only to be strewn away by the washing machine! Make it a habit to drop all these coins in to the tabung! Make sure this piggy bank is not easily opened or you will find yourself spending it all easily!

4. Set a goal how much to save each day..or each week for the jamboree. Yes the jamboree is far away ( you think)...But its not cheap either!
Let’s say set a goal of saving 25% of your allowance or pocket money you receive every week/month from your parents towards this goal. Or whatever percentage you think it’s realistic. Most importantly, you have to be consistent!
The problem with doing this is...MOTIVATION. We will talk about this another time.

5. Think of ways to reduce your spending..especially eating out..in canteen etc. Make it a point to pack lunches 2 days a week ? or if possible everyday of the week! Of course canteen food is so tempting....hehe But you don’t have to spend money preparing snacks/food from home!

6. Find a part-time job during your holidays. Saving is a slow process..which you may not see the rewards only until after a long long time... Getting a part time job will teach you the value of money...that money doesn’t come easily..and will hopefully train you to be more thrifty!

7. Shopping...yes, we all need clothes our toys, books, games etc. Stop for a while..and think..how can u get good bargains on all these ? Make it a habit only to buy during sale etc etc or only buy clothes/toys/books once a month. If you cannot control your temptation, try to reduce the times you go to shopping malls with your friends. Only go to malls with your parents if you want to buy stuff!

8. Watching movies can be very expensive if you do this every week... Try to go only with your family when u want to, or only go 1X a month ?

9. Persuasion and teasing. Your friends are your biggest influence in your life. What they wear, what they buy, what they do will impact on you. Your close friend may have bought a pair of Nike..or that new XBOX 360 game...

Your classmate may have shown to everyone the new Nokia N series handphone that she just had...

Yes ..very tempting... the thing is. It helps if you could talk to other like-minded friends who want to go to the jamboree..find out how they cope with temptation etc

Talk to your parents about this.

10. Handphone. Top Up and bills... Don’t send unnecessary text messages. Use a public phone if you have to... or use a housephone. Don’t spend hours on the handphone talking to someone if you could meet him/her in school or in tuition.

If you have a boyfriend/girlfriend...explain to him/her your intention to save up. If he/she is a scout..usually he/she will understand your intention of saving up and going to the jamboree, and even might join you in saving up. If not, maybe its better to get a new bf/gf!

Try using SKYPE or MSN chat if you really want to talk. Cheaper.

“WHAT IS A JAMBOREE

A Jamboree is an event organized by Scouting for young people, where the Scout method and principles and adherence to the Scout Promise and Law are practiced according to the highest standards. It is a gathering of Scouts who wish to share the fellowship and brotherhood of World Scouting and, above all, to have fun! A Jamboree is the “mother of all activities” of a Scout’s life, something every dedicated Scout looks forward to and whose memories are cherished deeply afterward. In a Jamboree, Scouts expand their hearts and minds learning new things and discovering a rich assortment of novel experiences. Such a gathering requires all the basic services provided by a city – shelter, water, market, hospital, fire department, toilets and showers, garbage collection and disposal, etc. – with the exception of a prison!

An instant “tent city” blossoms on the site of an international Jamboree as ten to thirty thousand young people from all over the world troop in for a week of education, fellowship and fun with fellow Scouts. Their eager anticipation electrifies this self-ruled community, infecting everyone with a boundless enthusiasm regardless of what country they come from and the language they speak. The more diverse a Jamboree, the better! The diversity of races, religions and languages makes it more interesting for young people as it gives them the opportunity to interact and make friends with Scouts from other countries and to learn about different cultures.

WHY HOLD AN INTERNATIONAL JAMBOREE

A Jamboree is held to promote Scouting of the highest quality, one that is faithful to the mission, principles and method of Scouting and adapted to the needs and aspirations of young people.

A Jamboree whose participants come from different countries is organized to develop among Scouts the awareness that they belong to a world organization.

An international Jamboree shows the world the unity of the Scout Movement and promotes the image of a universal educational movement open to all young people, contributing to the development of young people to become better citizens of their local, national and international communities.

An international Jamboree gives young people a way to make friends with other Scouts from different backgrounds, develop greater understanding, tolerance and cooperation, or, as B-P said, “for Scouts to assume new responsibility for promoting peace and goodwill.”

An international Jamboree shows the strength and size of the Scout movement and promotes national pride among young people hosting this great event.

WHO ATTENDS THE JAMBOREE

A Jamboree is organized for young people who are registered with national Scout organizations. The minimum age for participants in Jamborees should ordinarily be between 14 years and not more than 17 years old, though national or regional Jamborees may be held for younger members.

Because the Jamboree is an event for young people, the number of adult leaders should be strictly limited to camp duties only. They could be either Troop Leaders, or serve as members of the sub-camp staff, contingent staff, programme staff, etc. Past Jamborees have shown that the desirable proportion of adults to young people in a Jamboree should be an average of 1 adult per 9 youth members.

WHEN A JAMBOREE IS HELD

The 1^st World Scout Jamboree held in London brought together 8,000 Scouts from 34 countries and showed the world what Scouting was and what Scouts could do. Since then, there have been 19 World Scout Jamborees held every four years. So far the quadrennial interval has been interrupted only twice: first, during the Second World War and, 1979, when the political turmoil in Iran caused the cancellation of the 15^th World Scout Jamboree. Because of the size of the Asia-Pacific Region, Regional Scout Jamborees are usually held once a year, usually in conjunction with a national Jamboree. National Jamborees may be held every four years, depending on the policy of the national Scout organization.

Normally, a Jamboree lasts for seven days, which could extend up to ten days inclusive of arrival and departure. ………”

2008-08-22T20:02:00.000-07:00

as we have mentioned, this blog is created solely on our own initiative for awareness, promotion, gathered of information for the coming jamboree. we are simple, we want to pass our experience and knowledge of jamboree to whoever is interested and expose them to this international gathering.

on average, a scout has a chance to participate in a jamboree is once in a life time as a youth participant. the different between as a youth participant & as a leader is that, youth participant can join in all the activities organised by the jamboree. whereby leader will often go there as a "babysitter" to babysit the scout, serve as staffs and will have selected activities for the leaders.

the idea of simply scouting

2008-08-20T08:09:00.000-07:00

last week 16th august 2008, few of us was having steamboat at kota damansara.

nice and yummy dinner, after that, we chit chat @ wang cafe kota damansara.

as usual, notebook is a must to have when sitting in a cafe. the topic of next world scout jamboree pop up. so, we started to talk about kar yew will be leading us to the next world jamboree. but looking at his current situation, we bet he will not go to the next world jamboree as well, not that anything bad happen to him, just that he will be a daddy soon. too bad la. kar yew, stay home & take care of your 3 years old kid by then.

may suan & james was talking about touring as many countries as possible. ya right. u slowly wait la. we also talk about visiting 20 to 30 countries when we go to 1995 holland world jamboree. is not greedy but is money money money.

then me & jeff was looking at the world map and get an idea of what countries we will target to visit when the time comes.

and we have the initial idea of the travel plan and countries that we going to visit.

this is just a guideline and we are now at initial stage & all suggestions are welcome.
