Eleven (11) WA Scouts led by Deputy Chief Commissioner (WA Scouts), Mrs Sheridan Bunney and Branch Scout Commissioner, Mr Vernon Casey will embark an inaugural visit to Singapore from 3-10 July 2009, on an invitation of Singapore Scouts and host units namely, Toa Payoh Eagles Scout Group (Open), Beatty Beaver Scout Group and 02 Raffles Scout Group.

Camp Kawanee 1 (Singapore) meaning Friendship in Malay will provide a new platform for both countries to further establish and develop stronger relationship, scouting skills and cultural exchanges. The Camp's theme as "Caring Our Environment" will see both countries' Scouts sharing their thoughts on environment practices, exchanging skills and knowledge through group learning and fun games. Camp Kawanee will be held from 4-6 July 2009 as part of the Aussie Visit.

Camp Kawanee will see each host Unit as well as the Aussie Scouts organising a set of activities over two days. The highlight will be a joint collaboration to organise, plan and execute a Campfire together that will see an invitation of 150 Cubs and Scouts for a night of acting, songs and fun to enjoy the spirit of Scouting.   Camp Kawanee ends on 6 July 2009.

Our Aussie friends will then continue for R & R (rest & relax) recreaional programs from 7-10 July 2009. They are expected to visit places of interest such as Night Safari, Esplanade Park, Sentosa, Chinatown, Little India, Newater Plant and many more.

We look forward to welcome our Aussie friends soon.

Yours In Scouting
