I'm particularly interested in ropeworks, but I'm open to exploring everything the Jamboree has to offer. I'm looking forward to a fun, collaborative, and enriching online experience. Let's make this Jamboree unforgettable! what I did in this activity is welcome everyone and anyone in the world and it's fun talking to them! and I also learned the different badges! ^-^"

21 septembre, journée internationale de la paix, après avoir rendu visite dans un orphelinat de la place à Douala V question d'agailler nos ami(e)s, et partager des messages de paix sous forme de jeu, nous avons organiser un cake party en l'honneur de la paix dans notre pays.

"Ce qui me fait me sentir semblable aux autres, c'est l'esprit de communauté et le partage des valeurs comme la solidarité, le respect et l'envie de faire le bien autour de moi, surtout à travers le scoutisme. Quand je suis avec d'autres scouts, je ressens cette connexion profonde basée sur le service, l'engagement et l'amour de la nature. Nous partageons une vision commune de construire un monde meilleur, ce qui crée un fort sentiment d'appartenance. Ce qui me fait me sentir différent, c'est ma manière unique de voir les choses, ma persévérance et mon engagement personnel pour des causes qui me tiennent à cœur, comme l'environnement et le développement des jeunes. Parfois, je peux aussi me sentir différent lorsque je suis plus motivé que les autres à agir pour le changement ou lorsque je prends des initiatives qui sortent de l'ordinaire. Il y a eu des moments où cette différence a été un obstacle, comme lorsque je me suis senti incompris ou isolé en essayant de faire avancer un projet important. Parfois, cela peut aussi créer des tensions lorsqu'on se sent en décalage avec les autres, ou lorsque notre enthousiasme pour une cause n'est pas partagé. Mais avec le temps, j'ai appris à transformer ces différences en force et à les utiliser pour inspirer et motiver ceux qui m'entourent."

"Well that was a trip. Firstly I´ve done the treasure hunt, it was fun to see things that I don´t see on summer. Second, I´ve got lost in caves like for hour :D, I tought it would be cool to see them and maybe find something. Third, I´ve got lost again, but now in the woods, at least I found cabin western from KISC centre. I´ve left there a message in Hut diary. And lastly, I´ve finally found the Doldenhornhütte :D"

My logo/ badge design includes the crystal and the colours of the KISC logo. I included a scarf as I find this THE sign of a scout and also because every scout has it's own scarf, along with it's own story and journey. Something which is what the mini jamboree is about in my opinion.

"I like to be creative, also in creating activities for younger scouts "

This postcard explains about the friendship of Scouts which is not just a neat line, Morse code or the like but about hearts that are connected to each other where here we are a family who must strengthen each other, help each other.

" The people I met while participating in Scouting are like my own family, where they give me encouragement, motivation and inspiration. I am very grateful to have met them because they have given me a sense of comfort as if we were family."

"¡Hola! One of the most valuable lessons I gained from the "Safe from Harm: Be Safe Online" scout training course was the importance of protecting personal information and being mindful of digital footprints. It’s a lesson I carry with me and pass on to the younger scouts, teaching them that being prepared isn’t just for the wilderness—it applies to the digital world too. "

I chose to create this design because it reflects my journey and values. Such as teamwork, courage, and respect for others. This scarf is not just a decoration, but a symbol of the story that I carry everywhere.

"When creating this pattern, I thought about the Scouts being strongly connected to each other, such as the colors, shapes, and each arrangement of squares like the footsteps on the Scout journey."

It's a badge that you would get from participating in this event, the Jota Joti KISC. I had the idea to use a compass as a design and replace the cardinal directions with KISC, then I added Kandersteg International Scout Centre going around the circle and that's how I came up with my Badge design :D

"It motivated me to get out of my comfort zone which is editing and to try designing, I am really happy with the badge design I made. The way creativity is present in my life is that creative things will always come out on top and it will get a lot of attention."

Questions about the Lifestyle: In general, what does a typical day look like for you as a volunteer at KISC? What types of accommodation are available for volunteers? Could you describe them a little? What are the meals like? Are they provided, and what kind of food can we expect? What facilities are available for volunteers during their free time? How are things like laundry and other personal needs handled for volunteers? What are the opportunities for socializing and recreation among volunteers outside of work hours? How is the work and rest schedule coordinated for volunteers? Is there any flexibility in it? What are some things that new volunteers should know or expect about the lifestyle at KISC? What's the most enjoyable aspect of the lifestyle as a volunteer at KISC for you? Do you have any tips or suggestions for new volunteers to make their stay more comfortable and smooth?

"Contributing directly to global Scouting, helping others learn and connect, and using my abilities in a meaningful way within the passionate KISC community would make me "consider" being a Pinkie."

Making small changes in our habits could make a huge impact on our environment. We often get overwhelmed by the thought of having to make a huge impact through big projects and initiatives just so that we can combat climate change. However, it is important to reflect and think about the fact that simple actions, when done consistently, can make a larger impact in the long run. Simple actions such as bringing your tumbler and reusable container for meals, throwing your garbage in the proper bins, and more can make a huge impact if we do these things consistently.

"As mentioned, the thought of having the need to make a big project or initiative often stops us to actually do something for the environment. Hence why we need to focus on simple actions that can be done by anyone that can help our environment."

Hello Pinkies, I am Jewel from the Philippines. thank you for your time and dedication to the World Scout Centre initiative! My question is: What inspired you to become a part of the Pinkies, and how has your involvement impacted your life and the lives of those around you? Thank you in advance for taking the time to answer this question. Happy Scouting!

"Ever since I was young, I have been drawn to the values and principles of Scouting. Participating in Scouts activities and community service projects has always been a part of my life. When I heard about the Pinkies, I сразу knew that I wanted to be a part of it. Joining the Pinkies meant being able to give back to the community on a larger scale. The idea of volunteering at KISC really appealed to me because of the opportunity to meet and collaborate with Scouts from all over the world ◝(ᵔᗜᵔ)◜"

This is my gratitude for the incredible opportunity I have received from Scouting.

"The people I met through Scouting have had a significant impact on my life because they possess a strong spirit of togetherness, care, and discipline. Interacting with them has shaped my character—teaching me to work in a team, help others in times of difficulty, and face and overcome challenges together. I am truly grateful because through Scouting, I found true friends, great role models, and valuable experiences that I couldn’t have gained in a regular classroom, such as camping, exploring nature, and serving the community."

This is adobo my favourite dish from the Philippines it is made by simmering meat—commonly chicken or pork, or a combination of both—in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, bay leaves, and black peppercorns. To prepare it, start by marinating the meat in soy sauce, crushed garlic, and black pepper for at least 30 minutes. After marinating, sauté the garlic in a pan, then add the meat along with the marinade, vinegar, bay leaves, and a bit of water. Bring the mixture to a boil without stirring, then lower the heat and let it simmer until the meat becomes tender and the sauce thickens to your liking

This activity highlights the importance of taking action to protect our planet. As Scouts, we have a responsibility to lead the way in sustainability by making mindful choices. Through practices such as reducing waste, recycling, saving energy, and spreading awareness, we can make a significant difference in reducing our impact on the environment. It encourages us to engage in simple yet powerful actions that promote a cleaner and healthier planet for everyone.

"Reflection: Through this activity, I have learned the importance of small actions that can lead to big changes for our planet. It made me realize that every Scout has the power to make a positive impact, whether it's by reducing waste, conserving energy, or protecting wildlife. I am now more conscious of my actions and their effect on the environment. By practicing sustainable habits and spreading awareness, I believe we can all contribute to preserving the beauty of nature for future generations."

There is a unique natural and historical monument in Ukraine - Dovbush Rocks. When I arrived there, I was amazed by the beauty of the place, but also saddened by what I saw: graffiti on the stones and garbage between the rocks. This is an example of the negative trace that people can leave behind, instead of admiring nature, they leave traces of indifference.

"I often think about my track, not only ecological, but also human. I try to leave a good mark behind me: to help, to support, to take care of nature. But I also understand that sometimes I can leave a mark that I don't notice, and I want to become more attentive to that."

Yuliia
Sokil, Ukraine

Hello to all Pinkies, I'm Yuliia and I am from Ukraine, I learned that every Scout can come and volunteer at the World Scout Centre in 2021, when my friend went to you. My friend has a very good level of English, and I ,probably, have a bad one. I participate in various international events, among them were the 25th World Scout Jamboree and Roverway. Coming to these events, I was sure that my level of English would be enough to communicate with everyone. But sometimes there are moments when I don’t understand what they are saying to me, and I just nod my head, smile, and try to run away into the tent. I would like to ask, do the Scouts at the World Scout Centre have a fear that I won’t understand you because of your level of English? How do you try to understand each other if you can’t explain it in English? Or do they select you at the World Scout Centre based on your level of English? Thanks for the answer) Sorry for the mistakes •_•

"I would be forced to become Pinkie if I improved my English and finished studying. But probably if I saw the vlog "One day in the life of Pinkie" or something like that. Because I see what you have on Instagram, but I can't imagine what you do off camera. You probably hang out, travel together or something like that)"

"My uniform is very important to me. Whenever I wear it, I feel happy because I know I am with my scout family. I like collecting all kinds of badges because then I can be proud of myself (and the uniform looks great too <3). Badges always remind me of what I've experienced and accomplished."

I choose a deep green color for my scraf because, to me, it represents the deep connection that scouts have with nature, personal growth and scouts resillience. It also can represent the trees, the moss and the green fields that surround Kisc, that after every winter come back stronger and greener than before (wich in a deeper way, might simbolize that scout resillience that we have, coming out stronger from a difficult moment). I also choose three stripes to represent the thre "Princípios" or Principles that my scout federation (CNE - Corpo Nacional de Escutas) have defined for us.

"My Rover scarf (the same scarf for all rovers of CNE) is incredible important to me because it is one of the visible signs of my commitment to the path I have chosen to take (scouting) with courage, service and faith. And to me every fold of my scarf hold all the stories, memories and lessons that I have gained by being a scout. "

1. Orange: Energy, creativity, and vibrancy. Enthusiasm and openness. 2. Pink: Love, compassion, and kindness. Hope and positivity. 3. Green: Growth, nature, and peace. Balance, comfort, and renewal. 4. Blue: Calmness, thoughtfulness, and stability. Peace, tranquility, and sincerity. 5. Purple: Creativity, spirituality, and sometimes mystery and luxury. 6. White: Purity, clarity, and peace. Innocence and new beginnings. 7. Yellow: Joy, energy, and brightness. Happiness, hope, and optimism. Wisdom and knowledge. Overall interpretation: If these colors are combined in a knitting square, they could represent a blend of positivity, purity, creativity, and energy, with a focus on hope, peace, and renewal. It might also reflect a mix of calm and balance with a spirit of optimism and vitality, giving an overall impression of inner peace and optimism for the future.

"The colors in the stitching square represent a mix of positive meanings: Orange: Energy and enthusiasm. Pink: Love and compassion. Green: Growth and peace. Blue: Stability and calm. Purple: Creativity and spirituality. White: Purity and new beginnings. Yellow: Optimism and positivity. Together, these colors symbolize a blend of excitement, love, peace, and creativity. "

I am scout in the danish minority in Sydslesvig (Northern Germany). Our scarf has a red flag with a white cross in one corner - that is a symbol of the danish flag (our corps was the only youth organisation that was not prohibeted under WW2 and for at show our feelings for Denmark we "hided" the danisch flag by saying the cross was a christian symbol...) Then there is a raven - that´s one of Odins raven Hugin eller Munin, from the old nordisk mythology.

"Our scarf symbolizeses the membership to the danish minority, our danisch background. All scouts in our korps have the same scarf, so that´s characteristic for our korps and we can always easily recognize our fellows. "

I designed a pentagon like the KISC logo and also put a snowflake, i put WOSM logo and like a global/world symbol that represent scouts in every country:) and also put a compass because the word compass comes from the Latin words "com" meaning “together,” and "passus" meaning “pace or step”. Together, the word compass means to step together or to journey together^-^ and the color blue represents trust and loyalty ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ )

"It motivates me to know that a lot of scouts from other countries would see my design and what I'm writing right now. Creativity is a big part of my daily life. I love trying new things and exploring different ways of doing things. When I'm faced with a problem, I try to come up with creative solutions instead of just doing what's always been done before. I find that using my imagination and thinking outside the box helps me come up with better ideas and solutions. I also try to add a bit of creativity to my everyday tasks, like finding the most efficient way to get a task done or finding new recipes to try outദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧"

My scarf is my group scarf, 1st Harwell (St. Matthew’s) Scout Group, based near Oxford, UK Fun fact, this scarf was the UK millennium scarf but our group scout leader loved it and made it our group scarf in 2002!

I explored the chalet and other buildings, went on a treasure hunt (but didn't find the 5th clue), found the flag of my country, and used the zipline :D

"I really liked using "pants" instead of scout scarves in the chalet, it's brilliant. I also liked the Admins, they are so friendly :3 I'm also impressed by how they tried to detail everything, it's impressive"

My square represents harmony between nature, peace, and positivity. The gradual blend of colours shows how these values can come together smoothly to form a balanced life. I designed it so the colours on the edges could align with neighbouring squares, making it part of a unified whole.

"I thought about unity and connection while designing the pattern. I wanted my square to not only stand out with meaning but also fit in with others. I imagined each square as a different person's story and values, and together, we build a strong and colourful community."

Second, I´ve got lost in caves like for hour :D, I tought it would be cool to see them and maybe find something. Third, I´ve got lost again, but now in the woods, at least I found cabin western from KISC centre. I´ve left there a message in Hut diary. And lastly, I´ve finally found the Doldenhornhütte :D"

Indonesia has a dessert in the North Sumatra region of the Simalungun tribe called 'Nitak'. This food is made from rice flour, brown sugar, pepper, roasted coconut. This food is also generally for traditional ceremonies, but now it has become most of the desserts of the Simalungun people in Indonesia. Scout friends can try it, it tastes savory and spicy salty.

"This activity really helped me in expressing my abilities in introducing several activities, food and so on, not only that, this activity also introduced me to KISC."

I would like to ask how new job vacancies are opened and how much money is needed to stay there?What is the minimum amount that someone has to bring with them apart from the money for the transportation to the camp?(I know that it is a voluntary activity, however I'm not sure if a volunteer has to pay for his meals or other things.) Thank you!

"It gives me the chance to live at a different part of the world, get to know people that haven or more common things with me (the principal one:being a scout and having this spirit), get to know people with different culture from around the world and have an extraordinary experience.Overall it seems as the best form of a scouting experience."

"The most enjoyable part of being a scout is the adventure and teamwork in various exciting activities such as camping, nature walks, and competitions. It feels very fun and broadens the horizons when you get to know scouts from various places and backgrounds because you can exchange stories, cultures, and experiences that enrich friendship."

"I didn’t think about my carbon footprint that much before taking the test. When I saw the result is 4.5 planets. I was surprised and a little sad. This means that my lifestyle consumes more resources than the planet can provide. Now I understand how important it is to pay attention to my daily habits: transportation, food, clothing, and electricity consumption. I can give this test to my friends, and spread awareness about carbon footprint among my friends, scouts, and on social media. I can try giving a little lecture about it, or creating a post on Instagram"

The letter highlights scouting as a journey of friendship and collaboration, emphasizing the strength found in our diverse backgrounds. It encourages continued support and inspiration among scouts, advocating for an inclusive environment for everyone.

"Meeting people through scouting has had a significant impact on my life by teaching me the value of teamwork and friendship. Their diverse backgrounds have expanded my knowledge about the place we live in, enhancing my perspective and understanding. I am grateful for their support and kindness, which have contributed to my personal growth. The shared experiences and memories have imparted important lessons about resilience, empathy, and the strength found in community."

My blanket reminds me of the T'nalak weaving in the Philippines where the T'boli people of South Cotabato weave intricate designs based on patterns they have seen in their dreams.

"I think what inspired to create my pattern came from the culture of that I grew up in. It reminds me that no matter how far I've gone in life, I should always go back to where I came from."

In 2019, the first time I visited KISC, I had made a scarf with my local scout camp (Beaumont) patch on it, and gave that scarf to the KISC front desk. I was happily surprised to see that scarf hanging up when I visited KISC during the "see you in 100 years" event at the end of 2023!

"It is! Lots of happy memories from this camp, and from KISC!"

On March 29, We the Senior Scouts from Outfit 141 organized an inspiring outreach program, “Share a Meal, Share a Future,” at Community Transformation Inc. in Brgy. Kalikid Norte. To make the event more meaningful, the we engaged participants in enjoyable games and distributed school supplies, essentials, and food to both the elderly and young individuals. Although a simple gesture, the initiative aimed to bring joy, inspire hope, and encourage the recipients to continue striving for a brighter future.

"As a Senior Scout, I’d consider becoming a Pinkie because it’s more than just volunteering—it’s living the Scouting spirit on a global level. The idea of serving at a place like Kandersteg International Scout Centre, where Scouts from all over the world come together, really excites me. It’s a chance to build friendships beyond borders, learn about different cultures, and challenge myself in a new environment."

"It is being able to do my best while being able to help those who need my help. In scouting helping is the major language of creating an everlasting bond that is often seen in jamborees, meetings and get together with other people, nations and country."

According to the history of my Unit, the three colors of my scarf represent: - Green is for fields and nature: agriculture is one of the great pillars of our city. A place of research and knowledge in this area. - Yellow refers to one of the symbols on our city's coat of arms: the three keys. Yellow symbolizes the keys. - The gray of the scarf is actually a reflective strip (yes, like on fluorescent vests). Very useful for finding our Scouts in the dark! A rather funny topic of discussion when we meet other Scouts.

"I've had other scarves in the past, but this one is particularly important to me because it represents all my experience as a Scout leader. I arrived when my unit was founded, I've seen it grow, and I've grown with it. In the next few days, it will celebrate its 10th anniversary, and I'm proud to still be here!"

placed the icosahedron on a photo of the embankment of my city Dnipro. This is a special place for me, because this embankment is the longest in Europe, and I often walked there. Usually all the interesting events of the city take place there! Unfortunately, I am abroad now, so I could not take my own photo and used an image from the Internet.

This is inspired from the first jamboree I joined. It is the scarf from the 14th Central Luzon Regional Scout Jamboree. This is very memorable for me, because this jamboree is 1 month after our investiture, and it is not only the first jamboree i joined, but also my first event outside our institution.

"My neckerchief is important to me as a scout because it represents my commitment to scouting values like friendship and adventure. The colors remind me of my achievements and experiences, connecting me to my outfit and the scouting community. It symbolizes my pride and dedication to helping others, being a leader, and enjoying nature."

"For me I find that the best part of scouting is what it teaches you and what you can then teach to others. Its sort of like a family tree but with scouting tradition. looking back I was invested by my leader, he was invested my his leader in the 80s, and he was invested in the 50s. We dont know his leader but he may have even met BP. Looking at it that way adds a little more beauty to Scouting. "
