By P Marilyn

Bandar Seri Begawan - Members of the Persekutuan Pengakap Negara Brunei Darussalam (PPNBD) yesterday joined Scouts worldwide for the 10th Jamboree on the Internet (JOTI) and the 49th Jamboree on the Air (JOTA).

This is the first time PPNBD members participated in JOTI, which is organised by the World Scout Bureau, allowing scout members to communicate with each other.

Guest of honour at the function, Skipper Matassim bin Duraman, who is the Deputy Chief National Commissioner of PPNBD/International Commissioner, launched the event by starting the voice messenger with the Chairman of the Scout Asia Pacific Regional, Mr Eric Khoo, from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

JOTI is an international Scout meeting which takes place every year on the third weekend of October. This is an official event of the World Organisation of the Scout Movement. Thousands of scouts from all over the world meet and communicate with each other through the Internet.

At the same time, Scout groups are able to combine this event with JOTA, where scouts can communicate with each other by means of amateur radio.

The aim of the Jamboree is to allow scout members to exchange scouting experience and ideas, thus contributing to the world brotherhood of Scouting. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
