JW 07

From the 10th to the 16th of March 2007, scouts from all over Singapore will take part in Jobweek. It is an annual event held by the Singapore Scouts Association in lieu of its mission to instill the value of hard work in scouts. During this period, more than 10,000 Scouts, ranging from 8 to 18 years in age, will fan out across the island looking for jobs to partake in exchange for funds. This includes knocking on doors of residences and offices to seek menial jobs from generous-hearted Singaporeans to raise funds for their individual Units and for the Association.

The Fox Scout Group will hold its Jobweek in a form of a camp from the 10th to 13th of March 2007 in Fajar Secondary School. Cub Scouts from West View Primary School, Scouts from Fajar, GreenRidge and Zhenghua Secondary Schools and Venture Scouts from the Venture Elite Seals Unit will all gather in Fajar for the Jobweek this year.
