The 1st Petrosains Science Scouts Jamboree!

Science Scouts from ALL troops are invited to the 1st ever Petrosains Science Scouts Jamboree!

Details are as follows:

- Check in: 12:00pm - 12:30om on November 15 (Saturday)
- Check out: 9:00am - 9:30am on November 16 (Sunday)

To bring checklist:
  • Science Scouts jacket with badges and tag
  • At least 3 changes of clothes (1 for indoor activities, 1 for outdoor activities, and one for night/sleep)
  • A towel and basic toiletries (e.g. toothbrush)
  • Sleeping bag/comforter/mat or anything else to sleep on (we provide just the tents!)
  • A blanket and a pillow
Note to parents:
  • The jamboree agenda includes an event at the KLCC Park. In the interest of safety, we have First Aid kits on the ready, a minimum staff-scout ratio of 1:6, and Twin Towers security services are informed. Parents must take note though that although much effort has been taken to ensure the safety and security of participants, liability is waived with registration.
  • Valuable items such as handphones and money brought by the Science Scouts are their own responsibility. We provide safekeeping for valuable items but they will not be accessible except during break times.
This event is for active Science Scouts only! Science Scouts who have been de-barred due to incomplete meeting attendance or disciplinary causes will not be able to attend. Science Scouts must always remember the Science Scouts pledge!

To attend, please RSVP to the facilitators by November 8, 2008.

This will be an annual event so be sure to keep your Science Scouts membership active and check this blog regularly for updates and for news on other events.

How to keep your membership active:
1. Visit Petrosains at least once a year using your membership card.
2. Attend at least one 'All Troop' event. There will be five such events next year (including the Jamboree).
3. Renew your membership! Details of this will be posted a month before membership expiry (this is in March).
4. Visit this site regularly! (Even if you're not an active troop member, you can still earn badges! Check out the site for details).
