Scout Jamboree

Dear Parents, Ventures and Scouts,
as attached for your information. Traditionally, we hold our Annual Training Camp in Sarimbun Scout Camp during early Dec. However, in view of this once in a lifetime event (JAMB 100 and 3rd ASEAN Jamboree being held in Singapore), we have decided to replace the Annual Training Camp with this Jamboree so as to provide opportunities for our boys to experience fun and interaction with Scouts and Guides from all over the world. Furthermore, they will gain CCA points from their participation in this event.

Henceforth i would like to make it compulsory for them to attend the Jamboree which will be held from 4-9 Dec. I understand the boys may have family overseas trips but i do appeal to you to make arrangements so as to allow your son/ward to take part in this unique journey. Thank you.

Yours-in-Scouting,
Mr. Lincoln Chan
