Sabah JOTA JOTI 2009 badges

This year's World Scout Jamboree-on-the-Air (JOTA) and Jamboree-on-the-Internet (JOTI) was held on the 17 to 18 October 2009. Sabah Scouts joined in the Jamboree by having various stations at its Headquaters at B-P House, Kota Kinabalu, and at schools at S.K. Inanam Dua, Inanam, Kota Kinabalu and at S.K. Pekan Telupid, Telupid. 4 badges were issued out; the Sabah Scout JOTA badge, the Inanam District JOTA JOTI badge, the Telupid District JOTA JOTI badge and the Challenge Award badge. I have a lot of this Inanam District JOTA JOTI badge so if you are interested to swap or buy the badge, just give me a ring!

I'm back

Whew! Time flies really fast when you're super busy. Didn't realise it's more than 8 months since my last posting! So many things had happened I don't know where to start.

Ok, let's start with our favourite past time - Scout badges collecting. I'll focus more on badges that I have directly involved in or badges that I have come across and like it.

First, my district. We had only produce one badge so far this year - our District Patrol Leaders Course 2009 in March. Sorry, sold out but left with just one for trade.

I was also involved in helping the Beaufort District Scouts in their 60th Anniversary camp in December 2008 especially the Indaba and Activity badges. You can actually get these badges from the State HQ.

Then our State King Scout Brotherhood badge where we produce our Miniature badge and Shoulder badge. Sorry, for members only!

The latest badge that I designed and produced is the Cycling Expedition Badge in conjunction with the Scouts Day Celebaration from 1-2 August 2009. Unfortunately the expedition didn't materialised due to low participation response but the badges were made. So this I have heaps for sale. Email me if you need one!

Last but not least, there's one badge that I really like - the first time I saw it I was mesmerised. It's the Telupid District, Sabah badge in conjunction with the goodwill visit by the Scottish Scouts. Keep it up Telupid Scouts!
