My first Gilwell Reunion


Believe it or not, although I have received my woodbadge 10 years ago, this was only my first Gilwell Reunion. And I must say the event looks like some kind of a cult but hey, search on the internet and you can see Gilwell Reunion is happening all around the world. The Gilwell Reunion is the gathering of all Woodbadge holders with the aim of renewing worldwide scouting brotherhood. The woodbadge symbolises that the Scout leader is a trained scout leader and who has gone through several phases of training before being accepted into the Gilwell.

In conjunction with the Gilwell Reunion held in Lahad Datu, Sabah on 30th January 2010, a commemorative badge were also issued. I do not have extra but if you're interested, I might be able to get you one (with a price ofcourse!).

26th APR Jam - Mabuhay!






The 26th edition of the Asia Pacific Regional Jamboree was held at Mt. Makiling Scout Reservation, Los Banos, Laguna, Philippines from 27th December 2009 to 3rd January 2010. As I speak, the Jamboree is still very much alive. There are about 12,000 Scouts and leaders from more than 20 different countries around the region as well as from as far as UK and America attended the Jamboree. As usual, badge hunting was one of the unofficial agenda and I managed to get a few contingent badges. If you have what I don't have, please, please, please help me. Selamat po!
