2012 International Camporee Patch
The SDIC International Scouting Committee today released the patch image for the 2012 SDIC International Camporee. The colorful pentagon-shaped patch portrays the Mexican and American flags emblazoned over a classic silouette of Scouters in uniform with patrol flags and hiking staffs. The International Scouting symbol is surrounded by a blazing campfire. A scrolling banner with SDIC International Camporee 2012 wraps the bottom of the patch. The slogan for the 2012 event, "One World-One Promise, Un Mundo-Una Promesa," is prominently displayed at the top of the patches. The patch will be a popular collectible. You may now register for the 2012 SDIC International Camporee on Double-Knot.

International Camporee Committee Meets Saturday
If you are interested in participating at the SDIC International Camporee in May 2012 as a Staff member or assistant, please join us on Saturday, September 24, 2010 at 11 AM at Camp Balboa in Jeff Boswell's office above Atherton Hall for a planning meeting of the International Camporee Committee. We need to fill several key Coordinator and Commissioner positions. They will recruit staff members and assistants, and train them. These key people and their staff members will supervise, manage, and run the events, activities, registration, food service, and every aspect of the International Camporee.
- Promotional Coordinator: We plan to contact every troop and crew in SDIC, Inland Empire, OC, and Baja to invite them to our IC. This person will head up this effort, signing up units from SDIC, Mexico and other Councils. Our goal is to have 25% or more of our attendees from outside the USA.
- Field Events Coordinator (Scoutcraft and Teamwork competitions).
- Aquatics Events Coordinator (pool and lake activities).
- Range Events Coordinator (Rifle, Shotgun, Archery, and Wrist Rockets).
- Registration Coordinator: Supervise registration, fees, and attendee data entry in advance.
- Food Service Coordinator: We are planning an ambitious food program--box lunches, meals for Staff members, Saturday night dinner for everyone, Sunday breakfast for everyone, and Cracker Barrel for adult and youth leaders. This Food Service Coordinator and his/her staff will plan, order, receive, stock, and oversee food preparation and service.
- Camp Commissioner: Will prepare Mataguay for the International Camporee, including activity areas, equipment, campsite planning, and campsite assignments.
- Assistant Camporee Commissioner: Will ensure that all materials are ordered and on hand on time--ribbons, patches (International Camporee and Jamboree On The Trail), T-shirts, Staff apparel, and other items to be determined. We should also start thinking about getting a design for the Camporee patch.
- JOTT Commissioner: Will coordinate Jamboree On The Trail activities and recognition.
Yours in International Scouting,

Message from BSA International Executive
From: Phu Tran <Phu.Tran@scouting.org>
Date: September 3, 2011
Cc: Lisa Cristiano <Lisa.Cristiano@scouting.org>
Subject: Information for Council International Representatives
Hello Council International Representatives,
I'm Phu Tran, International Executive for BSA National Council, a new member of the BSA International Department. I will be working with Council International Representatives. I'd like to introduce myself.
I am a professional staff member from a local council in San Jose, California. I started my Scouting journey as a Venturer in a refugee camp in Indonesia. I moved to Canada, where I was a Scouting volunteer for nine years. I came to the USA ten years ago, and I was active in local units in Dallas. Because I was scouting so much, pretty much all my free time, I decided to work for BSA nine years ago. I am still actively involved in many Scouting functions as a volunteer. Scouting has made me who I am today, through my years in the refugee camp and adulthood. My passion for Scouting urges me to do more for our Scouts, so they have the same opportunities I had, and more. I look forward to helping International Representatives (IR's) and Scouters bring memorable and life-changing experiences to our Scouts. I know we will learn much from each other. I want to tell you about an upcoming event and also about how we are improving our communications:
1. Moot Invitation: The International Department is forming a BSA contingent that will go to Panama for XIX Central American Moot in January 2012.

Your email address is being added to the group. You will receive a notification from our Yahoo group that your email address has been added to the group. Please be on the lookout for email that I send you and members of the International Scouting Yahoo group with specific international information and newsletters.
