Young people’s faces beam with the temperate breeze ofHad Yao at the 25th Asia-Pacific Region Scout Jamboree.

We asked some participants to give their first impressionsof the early days of the Jamboree.

A first-timer in a regional Jamboree, 24 year old MalaysianMark Suresh can’t hide his enthusiasm to meet and makefriends. He says, “Scouting does not only widen the circleof friendship but also helps develop new skills and youlearn to understand and embrace young people of differentcultural backgrounds.”

For Pramesh, a 16 year old Nepali Scout, he participates inthe Jamboree believing that it helps him develop his leader-ship skills.

Coming from a cold country at this time of the year, TaeKyung, a 20 year old Korean, likes the sunny weather ofThailand. What makes him happy are the people he meetsin the camp, making his stay more enjoyable.

For a Scout from Vietnam, the feeling of joy is overwhelm-ing for being able to participate in a regional Jamboree. Itcan be recalled that Scouting in Vietnam was stopped be-cause of the war. In recent years, Scouting in Vietnam hasbeen slowly coming back. Vietnamese Scouts say that byattending the Jamboree they can learn from one another, atthe same time, spread the message of peace. Hope remainsthat Vietnam will become a fully-fledged member of worldScouting in the year to come.

To the Scouts, the Jamboree is not a simple gathering. TheJamboree is about sharing and making them feel importantregardless of where they com from.

Today is the first day of the Scout Jamboree activities stipu-lated by the Asia–Pacific Region Scout Jamboree organizingcommittee. There were eight activities for today includingLokapiwatt Village, Water activities, the Science Center, longdistance walk, the Circle of Peace and Culture, scouting skills,and a community development field trip.

The Circle of Peace and Culture lasts three hours and heldtwice per day over four days. This activity emphasizes team-work and is divided into six sub-categories, namely: the cul-ture of our neighbours, nations and peace, culture and peace,peace and human rights, free-time and late night shows.

Prof. Fuong Faa, Director of Benchamarachalai School who isoverseeing the project said it was created to promote peace amongthe scouts, allow the children to listen to discussions and applythe lessons. The activities are divided into four regions.

The Northern Region is honored by the presence of Prof.Manit Wandaeng of Sankampaeng School who will teach um-brella painting, the painting stages, brushing, whipping thetassels and the finished product. The way of life of the Lannapeople will also be shown and the local music and musicalinstruments and the playing of the victory drums in ancienttimes with songs. Paying respect to the Buddha while beg-ging for victory before going off to battle will be shown.

The Southern Region is lead by Surasit Chanchota, a youngman from the province of Nakhorn Sri Thammarat who will showthe art of dancing to classical tunes and Nang Talung puppetshows (puppets made from cow hide) to the Thai and foreignscouts and visitors. Nang Talung puppet shows have broughthappiness to Thais for generations. Research carried out by schol-ars has shown that at one time Nang Talung puppet shows wereheld throughout the country. In Issan the shows were calledNang Pra Motai. In the central region the shows were held in thecities of Rachaburi and Phechaburi. In the south the shows wereheld everywhere and especially in the southernmost provinces,the shows are called Wayang Chiam or Wayang Kula.

The Eastern region brings along the tradition of the Pra BatOx Cart which is an original tradition of Chanthaburi Province.Officials told reporters that the Pra Bat Ox Cart Parade startedover 100 years ago at Khalung District, Chanthaburi. A dis-ease broke out and many of the people died there and thelocals were unable to treat themselves so they paraded a Bud-dha footprint around the district; as a result the drought wasbroken and the rivers swarmed with fish. In memory of this,the ceremony is continued to this day.

Finally, the Issan region will show equipment used by thepeople from the region in their daily lives for farming and fish-ing and there will also be a display of weaving.
