The 22nd World Scout Jamboree will take place from 27 July 7 August 2011 in Kristianstad, Sweden with around 40,000 Scouts expected to attend from around the world.

The Jamboree campsite will be in Rinkaby, outside the town of Kristianstad in the very south of Sweden. Rinkaby, in old Swedish, means "The Village of Champions.


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


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


Participation
Participants in 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.



International Service Team
An estimated 8,000 staff are needed to run the Jamboree, and these will come from countries all around the world. 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).


a google map of Rinkaby is available here.
hmm... the village of champions... a nice place to visit..
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

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 ^^

WHAT I'VE DONE by LINKIN PARK...

linkin park's songs are quite noisy n almost all songs from them, all i could hear was shouting here n there..
but this song (d same one from Transformers #1) has mild n growing music..
(not much shouting too)

d MV of this song pictures those sohai happeningss (i like d nuke =D)
the lyrics of this song:

In this farewell
There’s no blood
There’s no Alibi
‘Cause I’ve Drawn Regret
For the Truth
Of a Thousand Lies

[Pre-Chorus]
So let Mercy Come
And Wash Away
What I’ve Done

[Chorus]
I’ve Faced myself
To Cross out what I’ve Become
Erase Myself
And let Go of What I’ve done

Put to rest
What you Thought of Me
Well I Cleaned this Slate
With the Hands of Uncertainty

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

For What I’ve Done
I’ll start again
And whatever pain may come
Today this ends
I’m Forgiving What I’ve Done!!!

[Chorus]

What I’ve Done
Forgiving What I’ve Done


another song,



WHAT ABOUT NOW by CHRIS DAUGHTRY

i actually came to this MV n was very the touched by it during my stay at BETONG NS CAMP -.-
(read those words in the MV)
it shows lots of dreadful pics n scenes too..

the lyrics are as follows:
Shadows fill an empty heart
As love is fading,
From all the things that we are
And are not saying.
Can we see beyond the scars
And make it to the dawn?

Change the colors of the sky.
And open up to
The ways you made me feel alive,
The ways I loved you.
For all the things that never died,
To make it through the night,
Love will find you.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?

The sun is breaking in your eyes
To start a new day.
This broken heart can still survive
With a touch of your grace.
As shadows fade into the light,
I am by your side,
Where love will find you.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love, it never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?

Now that we're here,
Now that we've come this far,
Just hold on.
There is nothing to fear,
For I am right beside you.
For all my life,
I am yours.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?


i personally like 'What About Now' more than LP's **hehe** 'What I've Done'..
the song expresses more of the objective (rather than just shouting and keep focusing on the band)..
the ups n downs in the song also make it a nice song..
the MV oso fits quite nicely =D

p.s. to Lun's band, hope i can hear u ppl playin this song (with perhaps reuben as d singer) b4 u ppl leave KHS =D

LEFT 4 DEAD

i'm sure most gamers knew tis game long ago edi..
it is released last yr around November and i 1st played it arnd december (which freaked me out at first =.=)

in Left 4 Dead, there are 4 characters to choose from..
from left to right: Francis (the tattoo guy), Bill (the veteran), Zoey 9(the hawt babe.. **errhem** the squatting lady) and Louis (the botak xD)


xD real intro

xD
like all other shooting games (CS, Half-life) it is a first-person shooting game..
jz tat the weapons are limited...
the game starts wiv a M1911 pistol (unlimited ammo)..
and has the choice of picking up a primary weapon, either an Uzi submachine gun or a pump-action shotgun..
progressing through the campaigns, more powerful weapons are available..
the well-known M16A3 assault rifle, Benilli M4 Super 90 semi-automatic shotgun and a scoped Ruger Mini-14 hunting rifle (can snipe one orh!)

besides those weapons, a first aid kit (for healing), pain pills (for temporary boost of health) and bombs (either molotov cocktails or pipe bombs)..

items can also be picked up to melee attack those freakin zombies, and explode when shot! cool chin! xD

below is a hakka version of the L4D intro...
WARNING!
tis vid is kinda offensive..
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO VIEW IT if u r easily offended la =D

nice vid anyway xD

another vid....
err...
MORE OFFENSIVE...
SERIOUSLY, DO NOT OPEN THIS VID IF U R EASILY OFFENDED..
i hold no responsibility orh..
is u urself wan view de =P

xD



i found this game quite interesting after a few attempts of playin it.. hehe...
a lot more fun compared to CS n H-F..

and if YOU find it fun, do stay tuned for LEFT 4 DEAD 2~~~~~
coming up tis nov (if not wrong la =.=)

Life's Brief Candle

Life's Brief Candle

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,

Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death.
Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow,
a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more:
it is a tale
Told by an idiot,
full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing


this peom, by the sohai-famous-chin poet William Shakespeare, has showed very clearly and precisely our life...
our life, is no doubt, like a candle....
life is short...
it can also go out anytime when affected by external or internal factors..
the flame of the candle, representing LIFE, can be wiped out by anyting, anytime..
so does our LIFE...
an accident, disease, or whatever factors, can end our lives..

so, precious our lives..
dont let it go to waste..

i admire those Japanese warriors of the past who hold strongly to the BUSHIDO concept (the way of the warrior)..
whenever they are facing death, they rather die in their own hands than having been killed by the enemies..
they die with honour..
i was actually touched by this kind of concept when i first viewed it through a movie (although i had read about it b4) by Tom Cruise, THE LAST SAMURAI (a 2003 film)..
a nice movie though =D
highly recommended..

back to the poem,
all of us living in this world memang are actors..
jz tink about it..
everyting we did..
we r jz performing in front of ppl..
we performed differently depending on who our 'audience' are..

and when we die,
nothing is left behind...
we will slowly fade from this world..
jz like MJ la...
u don see a lot of his fans now cry tillllllllll 'die go live come'..
sure arrr, most of them edi go dnoe whr enjoy lo, clubbing lo, K lo, bla bla bla~

haishh...
bt still most sohai de is...
our Malaysian government use this poem in the FORM 1 LITERATURE?
u tink those small innocent new-born-babeh can absorb such stuff?


b4 ending this post, do enjoy the trailer of THE LAST SAMURAI from youtube =D



another trailer =D
