Happy Scouting's Sunrise!


We in Sabah were very fortunate as the National Level Scouting's Sunrise program was held here at our State from 30th July to 1st August 2007. It was held at Mt. Kinabalu Park, the highest mountain in South East Asia and also a World Heritage Site. 38 Scouts and leaders from all over Malaysia and outside scaled Mt. Kinabalu's peak, which stands 4,095m a.s.l, on the 1st August 2007 and wave the Scout flag at about 6.00am, marking the dawn of a new century for Scouts around the world. For Malaysians, 2007 is an extra special year as Malaysia will also celebrate its 50 years of nationhood. Commemorative badges were issued to celebrate the double celebration (See picture). Currently I do not have extras but will try to get some.
