Dear Colleagues:
Greetings from Manila!

Makiling, Los Baños, Laguna, Philippines for a grand reunion and celebrate the golden anniversary on 29 December 2009.
To make the event even more memorable, 10th WSJ participants are encouraged to bring any memorabilia such as uniform, badges, pins, pictures and other items used at the 1959 Jamboree for display and swapping.
The reunion participants are expected to join the opening ceremony of the Jamboree on the afternoon of 28 December 2009. Therefore, the reunion participants must arrive on 27 December 2009 if not participating in any pre-Jamboree activity and may leave on 30 December 2009 if not attending any post-Jamboree activity.
Reunion Organizer has lined-up activities such as tour of the Jamboree sites and nearby tourist destinations, join-in activities and many others. The reunion highlight will be the dinner hosted by the Camp Chief, Hon. Jejomar C. Binay, Chairman, APR Committee and Mayor of the City of Makati.
