Chairman's Challenge: Attaining Vision 2023 ISSUE NO.7 21 OCTOBER 2018 MESSAGE My fellow Scouts from the Asia-Pacific Region, there are only two words I can offer you with: thank you! After the long wait, we came to conclude this much awaited event. The cooperation of each National Scout Organization in the Region proved that Scouting is really in the heart of most of the people. Indeed, this event summed up our collective endeavour to engage the youth in worthwhile undertaking that would help them grow up to become better citizens of the world. Ambassador Ahmad Rusdi Photo: Lorwin B. Sayco Let me assure you that, we, in the Asia-Pacific Support Centre, are always here to extend our help to whoever needs them. While we are separated Chairman’s challenge: by the oceans, there are many ways by which we could reach out to each other. Attaining Vision 2023 Come and we will abide. by Aaron Bryan A. Lopez J.

The 26th Asia-Pacific Regional Scout Conference came to a close with an exclamation point.

Participants went home with memories to keep, TAIWAN wisdom to imitate, knowledge to learn and happiness to share and the next Conference to look forward to with enthusiasm. But the Scouting job did not end at the Philippine International Convention Center on October 20, 2018; it began, right there. Indeed, Scouting does not end with just one successful event, it only rejuvenates itself after a grueling job to do better with the next. At the start of the Conference, the leaders rendered report to ensure that the Region has been living up to its promise to be the biggest and, probably, the most colorful Region in the Scouting world and as they often called it “The Great Scouting Region.” And it did. But as the Region took a step backward to take a look at its accomplish- ments, it also stepped forward to take a peak of what the future hold.

  • Webelos Leader Guide
    The BSA’s Commitment to Safety We want you to know that the safety of our youth, volunteers, staff, and employees is an important part of the Scouting experience. Youth develop traits of citizenship, character, fitness, and leadership during age-appropriate events when challenged to move beyond their normal comfort level and discover their abilities. This is appropriate when risks are identified and mitigated. The Scouting program, as contained in our handbooks and literature, integrates many safety features. However, no policy or procedure will replace the review and vigilance of trusted adults and leaders at the point of program execution. Commit yourself to creating a safe and healthy environment by: Knowing and executing the BSA program as contained in our publications Planning tours, activities, and events with vigilance using the tools provided Setting the example for safe behavior and equipment use during program Chief Scout Executive Engaging and educating all participants in discussions about hazards and risks Michael Surbaugh Reporting incidents in a timely manner Thank you for being part of Scouting and creating an exciting and safe experience for every participant. BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA SCOUTER CODE OF CONDUCT On my honor, I promise to do my best to comply with this Boy Scouts of America Scouter Code of Conduct while serving in my capacity as an adult leader: 1. I have completed or will complete my registration with the Boy Scouts of America, answering all questions truthfully and honestly. 2. I will do my best to live up to the Scout Oath and Scout Law, obey all laws, and hold others in Scouting accountable to those standards.

    SCOUTS AUSTRALIA, QUEENSLAND BRANCH INC. JOTA & JOTI 2014 Information Booklet 2014 JOTA/JOTI Event Badge 57th Jamboree on the Air & 18th Jamboree on the Internet 18 – 19 October 2014 Everyone can take part, an international Event! A message from Branch Advisor – JOTA/JOTI & Electronics: “Jamboree on the Air and Jamboree on the Internet on the third weekend of October is the largest Scouting event in the world, with nearly 1 million Scouts from 160+ countries engaged in conversations across town and around the world. Scouts communicate with one another via amateur radio and the Internet, providing a fun and educational Scouting experience and promoting their sense of belonging to a worldwide Scout Movement.” Some important hints for a successful activity: • Do your research. Start at www.scoutsqld.com.au – “Events” and select JOTA/JOTI. Check often for new information. • Decide on your venue. Plenty of good high trees to support antennas are desirable, but lack of trees can be overcome with a bit of ingenuity. • Publicise your activity. Make sure that every youth member and leader knows about it. • Engage an Amateur Radio Operator. If you cannot find one, contact the Queensland Advisor – JOTA/JOTA at [email protected] and I will assist with locating an amateur operator or radio club in your area that may be willing to assist you. I need to know WHERE (suburb/town/state) you will be running your activity. This needs to be done NOW, not a few days before the event. • Make sure you have a good internet connection. • Build a program around the activity.
