Korea Gyeunggi Council Scouts made 2nd visit to Kota Kinabalu

A group of 34 Korean Scouts, 8 leaders and 26 boys and girls scouts, from the Gyeunggi Council came to Kota Kinabalu (KK) for a second goodwill visit from 6th - 10th January 2007. They came last year from 14th - 18th January and heard that they will be coming for a third goodwill visit next year.

As in last year, one of the program during their stay in KK was the homestay program where the Korean Scouts stayed with local families. As in last year too, my family and I took part in the program but unlike last year where we fostered 2 teenage boys, this time we fostered only 1 teenage girl, Kim Yeong Jun.

In conjuntion with the event, scarfs have been made as in the last year but this time badges were also made. I have an extra scarf if you are interested but not the badge. Let me know.


Kamsahamidah!

Inanam District Scout Council 2007 badge

In conjunction with the centenary celebration of Scouts worldwide as well as 50 years of our Nationhood (50 years of Independence), our district Scout council (Inanam District, Sabah, Malaysia) will be issuing a limited edition Inanam District Scout Council 2007 badge to commemorate both the historical events. It is also part of a fund raising project for the district. The badge will be released on this year's Scouts Founders Day 22 February 2007, also a historical event marking 150 years since the birth of B-P, and will be sold at USD$15 each including registered postage to around the world. Each badge will also be individually numbered 1-100 and will be accompanied by a Certificate.

If you are interested to own one and better still help us raise some funds, please indicate your order to me at tariqaripen @gmail.com

I look forward to a favourable response.
