54th Jamboree on the Air & 15th Jamboree on the Internet

Dear all,

Had no time to brief you all as exams have been ongoing for the past two weeks.
Nevertheless, do read up on the information and actively participate!

Message from Dr Mohd Effendy Bin Rajab as follows:

The annual JOTA-JOTI is here again! This year’s theme will revolve around “Peace, Environment and Natural Disasters”. Having a live conversation with a fellow Scout in some other place in the world gives the same excitement as having a normal Jamboree on the land without the normal expenses. Just like a normal Jamboree, the JOTA-JOTI is also an event when Scouts can share their experiences and exchange their ideas.

This year, the World Organisation of the Scout Movement will be hosting the 54th Jamboree on the Air & the 15th Jamboree on the Internet from 15 to 16 October 2011. WOSM has also announced that Astronaut and Scout Master Mike Fossum is planning to participate in JOTA from the International Space Station!

You can obtain more information (including whether he will be passing by near Singapore) at: http://www.scout.org/en/information_events/news/2011/jota_from_space In view of the heavy manpower resources our Scouts have will put into training for the National Patrol Camp and the forthcoming End of Year examinations, we are encouraging Scouts to participate in this event in the comfort of their own homes. More information about the event including the meaning of this year’s theme can be found at: http://www.scout.org/en/information_events/news/2011/jota_joti_2011. In addition, new participants may get some basic information at:http://www.scout.org/en/information_events/events/joti/jota_joti_for_newbies.

Yours-in-Scouting,
Mr. Lincoln Chan
