TROOP RAMADAN IFTAR 2018

Salam Ramadan Al-Kareem Everyone! We tradition of Sungkai and Terawih comes again on Sunday 3rd June 2018. Meet up at Burger King BSB and then Terawih prayers at SOAS Mosque. This is the time where we meet and greet everyone during the Ramadan holidays and pray together in the evening of Ramadan with the Holy Terawih prayers. Spirituality is one of the key aspects in scouting. We just leave it to the patrol leaders and the scouts voted for Burger King. Its also easy to walk to SOAS Mosque for the prayers. This is their way and the right way!

SPIRITUAL ENHANCEMNT PROGRAM (PAK-6)

During the Ramadhan Holidays, one of our troop members joins the Program Asuhan Kerohanian or Spiritual Enhancement Program. Adam Waie who just join the troop this year, joined the program with other scouts from all over the country. This program is one of the under the global scout movement, Messenger of Peace (MOP).

It is a yearly event where PPNBD organised a spiritual activities in conjunction of the Holy month of Ramadhan. It was created to awareness and understanding about true Islamic teachings so that scouts can be better and responsible Muslims. The teachings are also put into practice in the Holy month of Ramadhan.

WORLD BUREAU BADGE AWARDED AT BACK TO BASIC CAMP 2018

 

This year a special training was organized and conducted by Brunei Muara District to teach all necessary basics to new members. This way all will have a common understanding and it will save time for school troops to train and conduct investiture ceremony all at once. It was also a chance for all new members to camp with other troops and start feeling the "scoutism". Its also a time where they are introduced to how scouts are organized and relate to what they have been learning at school.

     

A bonus was Earth Hour was conducted during the camp nights. Everyone contributed to the theme and it was the talk of the town when it was on social media. 

At the end of the camp was the investiture Ceremony for all 150 new scouts. It was exciting and an eye-opener to the world of scouts. Everyone glad to be apart of the camp and the largest youth association of the world!

SOAS AIR SCOUTS @ ROVER GATHERING

New members from SOAS Air Scouts attended the 2nd Rover Gathering 2018 which was filled by presentations and networking with local and regional rover representatives. Although rovers are scouts who are 18 years above, but this was an opportunity to see what happens to scouting life after school. Rovers Crews exists in local college and universities. They don't need scout leaders to tell them what to and they are free to organize activities and visits themselves. They also assist in schools and scout activities as adult helpers.

During the gathering, our troop had the opportunity to make new friends which they will meet again during invitations to Miri and Limbang. Also They will be coming to Brunei again during the 2018 Rover Moot 100 Years. 

Welcome New Boys!

The beginning of the year is considered as the "new members signup" season. It usually takes week 3-4 to start campaigning for new members as school matters are just settling in. This year we have new friends from year 8 and already they have started some activities such as registrations, making uniforms and learning first parts of the Scout Promise and Law. There will be lots of things lining up for 2018. One of which is 100 Years Rover Gathering which will be in December.  For this year the new line ups are,
