with great pleasure, a brother from Singapore has visited us from 16/09/2008 to 20/09/2008 and was hosted by some of our Rovers and Leaders during his stay. He is Mr. Kumanan Ilagovan, a District Leader (Scouts) - Toa Payoh District as well as an Asst. Group Scout Leader - Beatty Beaver Scout Group.

Brother Kumanan enjoying dinner with our Rovers and Leaders

As he is going on a backpack tour from Kuching to Miri, a few Rovers from the Eagle Rovers have managed to show him around and of course, trying out local delicacies. The participating Rovers are having a great time with him who also managed to swap some badges among themselves.

Say Cheeeeeeeeeeeese!!

To all the Rovers and Leaders who helped up, here is a thank you note from Mr. Kumanan.

Hi Kuching Rovers,

How have you been lately? Hope you are doing fine.

I wanted to thank you and your Rovers for bringing me around during my personal visit to Kuching. It really made my trip special, especially being able to make new Scouting friends and also to find out from you possibilities of Singapore Scouts coming over to Kuching some time.

Having traveled around Kuching, I really see opportunities for Scouts from my District to make a trip down to Kuching maybe in 2 years time, since I have plans to bring my Scouts to either Thailand or Vietnam in 2009. With the announcement yesterday, that there would be direct Budget Airline flights from Singapore to Kuching, its even more favourable for us to travel to East Malaysia.

I have always believed that Scouts should be exposed to the greater International Scouting community, in order for them to appreciate the greatness of being a member of a Worldwide Movement. Something thats unique to us, Scouts alone. As such, me and my Scout Group would be most delighted to host you or your Scouts, if you may travel down to Singapore.Btw, if you would like to know more about the activities in my Area, do check my Area Blog at:
http://www.centralsingaporescouts.blogspot.com/

On copy to this email is Mr. Koh Kar Meng and Aru. Mr. Koh is a Teacher and also the Group Scout Leader of Bishan Park Sec Sch (Lightning Scout Group). He believes very much in exposing Scouts to International Scouting as well.Aru is the Rover Chairman to Beaver Scout Group Rover Crew & Asst. Scout Leader, and also the Programme I/C for the National Rover Council. He is also one of the pioneer Singapore Rovers who received the SWA in Japan last year.

Once again, Thank You very much for the Scouting Hospitality shown by you and your Rovers. Do convey my appreciation to the 4 of them.

Yours in Scouting,

Scouter Kumanan Ilangovan
District Leader (Scouts Section) - Toa Payoh District
