SCOUT AVIATION CAMP 2019 - SMJA VISITS IBTE SCHOOL OF AVIATION

We never knew there was such thing as a school of aviation in Brunei. This awesome school teaches aircraft mechnisms and engines. Its actually this green building near the airport and inside is where students after O levels can learn to be aircraft technicians taught by real engineers and aviators. Its not just classroom learning but learning with real aircrafts and wearing white shirts like they use in airports. 

We are glad that we are in the air scouts and get to meet see for ourselves where our aviation interest will lead us. We discover that there is more to what Brunei education can offer, you just have to join the right club and they will show the right path and options. We are now inspired to learn more and score in our O level results so we can be apart of the country's aviation industry.

We thank you the kind teachers and organizers for showing us around the center and teaching us as much as they can about parts of aircraft and how things work.  We also like the food provided by IBTE Catering. We know that all these were not possible if its not by the kind dedications of all of you. Thank you.

2019 SMJA AIR SCOUT FIRST CAMPING

Thanks to our principal's approval, we organized our very own camping. For most of us its a first time and we really do not know how it will turn out. Luckily, we were assisted by senior scouts called Rovers in setting up our tents and help in cooking outdoors. Scout camp activity is organized just like any scout activity, starting with horse-shoe ceremony, leaders briefing and following school rules. Then it was only a matter of following the program.

The camp made us closer as a team. We actually made our own BBQ pit from materials supplied by the scout leader, cook our own meals and share it with everyone. We enjoyed the indoor games organized by Skipper Afiq and the guitar singing after the BBQ. Everyone did what they were supposed to and no one was selfish. We are glad we had such a proper team or troop with great leader. At the end of the camp we closed by nominating our own patrol leaders that we chose and we had group photo of the troop with our parents. It was awesome!

BERSAMA RAKYAT WAS AWESOME!

Although we did not participate in the Sultan Birthday march pass, but attending the Bersama Rakyat was just as awesome. We meet other air scouts from SOAS College and we are so proud to see other sky blue uniforms and join up to make one big group. Everyone was friendly and our scout leaders introduced us to so many people. 

 We get to meet real handsome pilots who did not mind taking selfies with us. We meet some government officials and all said positive things about being in scout. It shows that we did the right decision joining and now we are part of something big in the event. 

Even our kind principal came to visit us and talked with high-ranking scout and government officials. We hope to do this again next year with a bigger group!

TROOP 1001 SMJA AIR SCOUT RISE AGAIN!

Yes its official! Troop 1001 is inaugurated again as an Air Scout Troop. On the proud day of  27th July 2019, a total of 48 new members were awarded their world bureau badge. This symbolizes their membership to scouts all over the world as well as in Brunei Darussalam. This would not be possible without the kind support from the principal,  Haji Juma’ata Sonadey bin Haji Mornie for the hard work from appointed rover scout volunteers.

It took them many hours of training during CCA time and have to achieve basic criterias under PPNBD POR scheme. Nevertheless through hard work and dedication, everyone pull through and begin their journey as one of the largest youth movement in the world.
