Sabah re-joins 50th World Scout JOTA, 11th JOTI 2007



After a lapse of three years, the Scouts Association of Malaysia Sabah Branch officially rejoins the 50th edition of the Jamboree-on-the-Air (JOTA) and 11th Jamboree-on-the-Internet (JOTI) from 20th to 21st October 2007. About 50 Scouts and leaders camped at the Sabah Scout B.P. House starting from 19th October 2007. The Sabah Scouts used the nickname beginning mysakk which represent my=Malaysa, sa=Sabah and KK=Kota Kinabalu while for JOTA, the call sign was 9M4CBP. I used mysakk1.

In conjunction with the JOTA and JOTI, participant badges were produced (See image above). There are two different issues; a bigger souvenir version measuring 7cm x 9 cm (extremely limited, only 10 pieces were made) and the smaller official version measuring 5cm x 7cm. This is the sixth issue of the Sabah JOTA JOTI badge. Previous issues can be viewed at http://www.sabah.org.my/ppmsabah/jotibadges/jotibadges.html. If you need one, let me know. Happy JOTA and JOTI!

Skip,

I am starting a JOTA badge collection and would love to have one. I send you some JOTA patches. Will you have an event this year? I should operate as KX5BSA that will have it's own patch and of course I also have the BSA official patch.

Do you have any 50th anv. patches left?

Thanks
