seems that most of our scouts are going to attend will be going as IST.. lols... those young ones will be lucky then..
in d coming APR jamboree in Manila, The Philippines, initially we had high hopes of attending the jamboree.. but it had somehow faded.. just hope this coming World Scout Jamboree wont disappoint us ^^
if im not mistaken, the youngest members who had attended a jamboree were this yr's Form 5 batch.. a few of them though... most members do not have a chance i gues.......
just a mini re-post..
there will be a world scout moot (something like a jamboree, for Rovers)
World Scout moot 2010
DATE: 27th July - 7th August 2010
DATE: 27th July - 7th August 2010
LOCATION: Kenya
AGES OF PARTICIPANTS:Participants: 2,500 young people aged 18-26 at the time of the Moot.
International Service Team (IST): 390 IST, aged 26 years and over at the time of the Moot.
the World Scout Moot, however, is only for participants that are over 18 yrs old.. this is slightly different from the World Scout Jamboree and other Jamborees as the IST will be participants of over 26 yrs!! that means, no worries bout not being a member in jamborees!! u still get a chance to be a member in the world scout moot although u r in the IST in normal jamborees ^^
all info are available from WOSM (World Organization of the Scout Movement).. do visit it often as it contains updated info from time to time... although it may seems useless or has no connection to us, it keeps us updated of the scout movements that are taking part around the globe.. as a scout, just visit it regularly, as it will somehow help ^^
HAPPY SCOUTING ^^
