Okay, what about trading Scout badges?

I know. The initial idea of this blog is to create a forum where we can trade badges. I know I have not offer any badges yet. So for this posting, I'll try to offer what I have. I may not be able to post pictures of all the badges I have so if you are in search of any particular badges or want to know more about what I have to offer, please do email me at tariqaripen@gmail.com .

To get the ball rolling, I'd like to show you a picture of some of my collections that I've put up for exhibition during the recent 1st Inanam District Scout Camboree. I know it's small but enough to attract attention. I'm more into Scout uniforms and scarfs from around the world now because I think that will attract the local scouts more and it is easier to talk to them about Scouting around the world.






But that's not all I collect. I do collect the following:

Jamboree badges (World and National)

Uniform badges (Includes membership, flag , name strip, district and regional, class, positions, merit/proficiency badges)

Highest Award badges

BSA's CSPs (Particular interest in current active ones, Direct Services and National Capital Area Council series)

Old Malaysian Scout badges

Ofcourse National scarfs and Uniforms

What I can offer you are:

Malaysian uniform scout badges

Malaysian Scout jamboree and event badges

Some foreign National and World Jamboree/event badges (I have WJ1987, WJ1999, WJ2003 etc. You'll have to ask me personally if you are interested)

Some highest Award badges (Also ask me)

Some CSPs (Including some of the NCAC monument series. Ask me)

Membership badges from various countries (I have Brunei, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam etc. Ask me)

Interested? Let me know!

Cheers!

Inanam District Scout 1st Camboree

Hi all!

I know it has been so long since I last wrote something in my blog. Not that nothing is happening, it is just that...... I'm too busy? Ok, I know it's a lame excuse. So today I thought I could just write in something about our just concluded Inanam District Scout 1st Camboree which was held from 3 - 7 June 2006 at S.K. Pengiran Siti Hafsah, Karambunai, Kota Kinabalu. About 175 Cub Scouts and Scouts participants and Service Team mainly from Inanam District and also Kota Kinabalu and Sembulan district attended the camp which was officiated by the Karambunai Assembly Member cum Sabah Assistant Minister for Industrial Development, Yang Berhormat Hajah Jainab DSP Ahmad Ayid. The troops include 02 Inanam S.M.K. Bandaraya, 03 S.K. Inanam Laut, 09 S.M.A. Inanam, 11 Inanam S.M.K. Inanam, 21 Inanam S.K. Gudon, 25 Inanam S.M.K. Kolombong, 16 KK S.M.K Perempuan Likas, 1st Sembulan S.M. La Salle and S.M. Sanzac.

Some of the activities held are like kayaking, obstacle run, nike hike, flying fox, Indaba, Scout night and one activity which I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Environmental Action Committee (EAC) Sabah particularly Mr. Low and Mr. Honny Ukung is the Environmental Community Project held at the school. With the help of EAC's annual World Environment Day (WED) grant, we were able to held the project successfully on World Environment Day which is on 5 June 2006. Two main activities were held; tree plantation around the school field and teaching the scouts how to make compost out of food waste. So there you are, our districts first ever Camboree (No wonder I was too busy to write!)
