6th Asia-Pacific Regional Air/Internet Jamboree

Following the success of the first Jamboree in 2004, the Persekutuan Pengakap Malaysia (PPM) will host this year’s event from 7th to 8th August 2010.

The Air-Internet Jamboree is a regional event which Scouts can contact each other by means of amateur radio and through the Internet. Having a live conversation with a fellow Scout in some other place in the world gives the same excitement like having a normal Jamboree on the land minus the normal expenses. Just like the normal Jamboree, the Air-Internet Jamboree is also an event during which Scouting experiences are exchanged and ideas are shared. It’s a great and unique opportunity for Scouts of all age ranges to communicate with each other as if they are nearby when in actual fact they are all in their own countries. Indeed, Radio Scouting eliminates the distances and fosters a closer relationship of the worldwide Scouting movement.
