Dear Sir/Madam,

 We are pleased to inform you that the Asia – Pacific Region is organizing the 5h Asia- Pacific Regional Air/Internet Jamboree, which is being hosted by Singapore Scouts Association on 1-2 August 2009.

The APR Air/Internet Jamboree is a regional event in which Scout/Guide can contact each other by amateur radio and through the Internet. It is the excitement of having a live conversation with a fellow Scout and Guide in some other place in the world that attracts so many to this event. The Air-Internet Jamboree is a real Jamboree during which Scouting experiences are exchanged and ideas are shared. It’s a unique opportunity for Scout/Guide in all age ranges to discover that they belong to a worldwide movement. The event is strongly supported by the Singapore Amateur Radio Transmitting Society (SARTS) and InfoCom Development Agency (IDA) which is the Singapore’s local telecommunications regulatory body.
