The Scout Movement began in 1907 when a British Army Lieutenant General,Robert Baden-Powell held the first ever scout encampment.This was held at Brownsea Island in England. Baden-Powell wrote the principles of Scouting in Scouting for Boys in 1908 at London, based on his earlier military books with the support of Frederick Russell Burnham , Seton of the Woodcraft Indians, Smith of the Boys' Brigade, and his publisher Pearson. During the middle of the 20th century, the movement grew to encompass three major age groups which were known as Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Rover Scout.
The Scout Movement practices many different program that teaches stuff you may not learn in school.This include practical outdoor activities which included camping,gadget-making,hiking,backpacking and other similar activities. One Characteristic that highlights someone as a Scout is their Uniform.It is as an identity which differ ones from other.A Scout Uniform differ from one country to another as the scout uniform is influenced by a country culture.In Brunei Darussalam,A Scout uniform would have a scarf,songkok,a long sleeve shirt,MIB pants,a black belt,black socks and black shoes.
In 2007,Scouting Member had reached over 38 million members in 216 countries.Which had first started in two patrols led by two patrol leaders supervised by Robert-Baden Powell on Brownsea Island in London grew to a movement which later grew to an organization know to worldwide till this day.This has shown to us,how effective or how beneficial is the scouting movement to our daily lifestyle as it teaches us to be more disciplined and organised.Not just thus it teaches us on how to survive in the forest but to our daily modern lifestyle.
Once every four year,A World Scout Jamboree would be held in different locations.
Jamboree is considered an Americanism which refers to a joyful,noisy gathering.This is usually held to strengthen bonds between scouts from all around the world thus,sharing experience of scout activities that have been done to their members that can be share to other people.Unlike other organization,Scouts is not just about doing hard work,being yelled at and tiring yourself.But it is something you do for fun as a living.As some scout says,scouts is the way of life. Over the pass few years,as it has become more modern.Jamborees On The Air and Jamborees On The Internet have been introduced.It is where a group of scouts all over the world would communicate scouts from all over the world through the Internet and through amateur devices that transmites radio waves that can be read by other scouts.
In our school,Maktab Sains PSBS.There is also a scout movement.Maktab Sains PSBS,Troop 1017 was the name given by the Headquarters Of Brunei Scouts.Each week during ccas,these ms scouts would be introduced to variety of activities and knowledge that can be used to their daily lifestyle.Recently,On Saturday Night.22nd May 2010,a number of Maktab Sains PSBS Scouts were invited to join a Night Hike which was held from Bukit Shahbandar to Rimba Secondary School.As i had joined it,it gaved me a whole new experience as we had always hike during daylight.This gave me an experience of how it felt like hiking in pitch black with aids of torchlight where light was necessary.

What is Energy Day Or Week?
it is an amount of time where an organization or government take an action that is aiming on the public to be involved in a variety of activities that is related to reduce the amount of energy usage to use energy provided efficiently.
What has Brunei Darussalam plan for this years Energy Day?
this year is a new change as of Monday,24th May 2010.Brunei Darussalam Petrol Stations are going to sell Fuel at a non-subsidised rate in creating an awareness for people to change their lifestyle of wasting energy easily.We as a country which is blessed with petrol that has been subsidies which means we are buying a much more cheaper fuel rate than most countries.This should be taking in considerate by using it carefully as we might not know when there will be no more oil and gas production.An eSaving SOS Campaign was also initiated by the government to create an environment that actually practice Energy saving in the daily lifestyle.
What is eSaving SOS Campaign?
it is a simple step campaign that is initiated to reduce energy consumption ,they are as follow:-
1) Switch Off Unnecessary Light
what it means is that people are encouraged to switch off their light when leaving a room so you are not wasting energy.If we spend less time leaving the light on,the more energy you are saving by doing that.Also consider in actually just leave at least two lights in the house to be on.If there is a light in the house that people always forget to switch off like when leaving the toilet,you would always leave the light on.Why not consider to put a sticker on it that reminds you to switch it off when exiting the toilet or any other place like the bedroom too.
2) Switch Off Water Heater When Not in Use
It is actually a wastage of energy of keeping the water heater on when you are actually using it on mornings or evenings.Why not actually just switch it on a few minutes before you take a shower.Another way is also by taking shorter hot showers as the longer you use it,the more there is energy wastage.As water heaters take up to 25% of your home's energy use
3) Set Your Air Conditioner Temperature to 24 degrees Celsius or Higher than usual
Whether you have got a high horsepower air conditioner or a low one,when it is at the right temperature.It can actually maximise you energy consumption and increasing your energy savings.To start making a better energy saving,you can increase the air conditioner's thermostat by 1 degree or setting it to 24 degrees which is actually comfortable enough if you would like a moderate cool room.why would you want a cold room when you can make it just right enough so you could enjoy the cool air.
Last but not least,i hope that you all learned something from this post.I hope everyone would take part in saving energy.Start doing something rather than just telling everyone to do it.

Where did all these politicians come from?
Why are there here?
How are the politics in Brunei?
Does corruption occur in politics?
all your question will be answered in this posts but first of all how can politic be defined as.It is defined as a system in which a party of people get-together to collect different ideas in solving a problem.Lets take Brunei Darussalam as an example.Brunei Darussalam's Legislative Council would usually held a yearly meeting to discuss on government matters in making Brunei Darusslam more prosperous and in managing the financial matter of each of the Ministries under the Government.This helps the country in improving itself by the number of smart ideas shared by the Council Members.Politics has made live improved,we can see this through history.In the old days,people who did crimes were not arrested at put into jail.This has caused chaos everywhere in the old days but because of a more civilised system of governments introduced,this has been reduced.People who do crimes now are being arrested at being sent to court to hear their judgement for the wrongdoings they had done.
The word politic actually came from a Greek word "Politika".Politics was introduced into this world so there would be justice to the world.The people who did good would be honoured and the bad would be punished.
Let us now talk about the politics of Brunei.The Political System of Brunei is Absolute Monarchy which means the Sultan or Ruler Of Brunei is the Head Of State and Head Of Government.Brunei has introduced the Legislative Council consisting of 20 appointed members.The Sultan of Brunei has full executive authority including emergency powers or we can say that His Majesty has the power to announce Brunei is under state of Emergency if something would occur.The National Philosophy of Brunei is enriched with "Melayu Islam Beraja" or in short MIB.So this shows that His Majesty accentuate Malay as a Language,Islam as the religion and Monarchy as the system of governance.This shows how the Sultan stand out as the Ruler who rules with absolute power.In which the next in line would be the Crown Prince.
let us now talk about something that is quite unpleasant to hear.Corruption in Politics.This happens when Government Officials misuse their powers for their own good.This really happens,we can take this non-fiction story as an example.There was once a loyal man who always did good for his boss but one day he was given a sum of money to do something like get one of his employee fired.So this is corruption as he was bribed which was brought something good to him but bad to his fellow employee.When a government lose control of its Government Officials whereby Bribery happens all the time.This causes the whole government to breakdown as government official are like the pillars of the country.When they are not stable the whole country breaks down.So we hope that this is not practised in our country.
I guess that's the end!
GOOD NIGHT! have a happy Friday people!

what is the new world order? i guess that is what in every readers mind when the read the title.Dajjal with one eye is the New World Order is a concept initiated by former President of United States George Bush Senior during the war against Iraq.What this means is,whatever the United States of America say is in the law and you are forbidden to disagree,thus forming the One Eye Order or New World Order.Since the 20th century,famous statesmen such as Woodraw Wilson and Winston Churchill used the term of New World Order to refer a new period of the history where dramatic change in world of politics thoughts after the World War I and World War II powers balanced.This was seen as an opportunity for intelligent people who would try to manipulate the government in giving proposals to address worldwide problems that would or must be solved by a number of nations.This led to organizations such as United Nations and NATO,along with the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade to maintain the balance of power in order to control the world capitalism.
Some people also interprets it as a conspiracy theory saying it is a way of the United States Of America trying to take control of the World Order.One way that prove they are trying to blind us by saying there is an alien invasion.when it was actually the US Shadow Government or Secret Society Of The US Armed Forces under Area 51 who developed military disc-shaped aircraft that would hover like a helicopter and move as fast as the speed of a bullet.This is when there were witnesses claiming of the theory of aliens existed saying the saw flying objects hovering at dusk in the US.We may not know if it is true or not and let it be a mystery for years to come.What we can take from it is that US Government would try any means to try to blind us with any means they can to control us.For me,I would believe it a little as i have read an article saying that in June or July of 1947,extra-terrestrial debris was recovered near Roswell,New Mexico.Because of this incident, The US Government tried to cover it up with lots of theories.It was also stated the the US Government of Area 51 took the crashed alien craft along with the alien corpse and made experiments on it.This was known as the Roswell UFO Incident.It has also been said the US Government bribed witnesses to give wrong statements to the press and other people who would try to take this information and put it into bad use.
that's is all that i have time for,stay tune to read more about his interesting facts about politics,conspiracy theories,crimes and much more at FLY WITH THE WORLD!
