9th Asia – Pacific Regional Air/ Internet Jamboree on 03rd & 04th August 2013.

Greetings Greetings Scouts,

The Air-Internet Jamboree is a regional event established in 2004 in which Scouts & Guides contact each other by means of Amateur Radio and through the Internet. Having a live conversation with a fellow Scouts & Guides in some other place in the world gives the same excitement like having a normal Jamboree on the land. Just like the normal Jamboree, the Air-Internet Jamboree is also an event during which Scouting & Guiding experiences are exchanged and ideas are shared. It’s great and unique opportunity for Scouts & Guides of all age ranges to communicate with each other as if they are nearby when in actual fact they are all in their own countries.
