Organizing Commissioner of the 55th Colombo Camporee, Supun Jayalath who is considered to be one of the youngest in the history to be appointed as the Organizing Commissioner of a Colombo Camporee added that “ The challenging times we live in due to the COVID19 Pandemic, inspired the Colombo Scouts to think out of the box and invent the concept of a Virtual Camporee, which now is identified by many by its theme ‘ Path to Invention ’. This venture definitely would be the start of our path to reinvention and it is heartening to see the positive response we have received from all stakeholders including Scouts, Leaders, Parents, etc. thus far .

The Organizing Committee has made all arrangements to host a fully virtual Camporee experience for the Singithi, Cub, Junior, Senior and Rover Scouts of the Colombo District where they can participate in a comprehensive non-formal educational program including virtual campsite building, Opening & Closing Ceremonies, 30 Skill-O-Rama activities, Virtual Campfire, Cub Day, Cub Talent Show, Christmas Carols, Fireside Chats with Prominent Personalities in the country, Sessions on Yoga and Mental Well Being, International Cultural Exchange Programs, Online Workshops facilitated by our partner organizations, etc. all from the safety of their homes.

Be safe during JOTA-JOTI Given COVID-19, participating in JOTA-JOTI 2020 will look quite different from last year. Staying connected is more important than ever, and keeping young people Safe From Harm is always a priority for World Scouting. Together, we are all responsible for creating an environment where everyone can have fun, be safe and be respected. Whichever way you’re participating, be prepared for a safe event.

1. Follow the recommendations of local health authorities and the WHO 
2. Wear a mask & practice physical distancing 
3. Stay home & tell an adult if you feel unwell, including any COVID-19 symptoms 
4. Be prepared to adapt your plans and meet online if the situation changes  

Online Safety With all of its opportunities and enriching content, using the Internet also comes with many risks, including threats to personal data, wellbeing or safety. Some people can have wrong intentions and we all need to be aware of this and know how to respond. We strongly encourage all participants to take our Be Safe Online e-learning to learn more about online safety and to be fully prepared for JOTA-JOTI and other online activities.

මල්මාමා ගෙන් සුබ පැතුම්

 අපට අහිමි කොමික් ලෙගසිය - Comic Legacy That we couldn't archive

මල්මාමා

80 දශකයේ ඉදලා අදටත් අධික ඉල්ලුමක් තියෙන ඉතාම සාර්ථක කොමික් හෙවත් චිත්‍ර කතාවක් තමා 'මල්මාමා' කියන්නේ.. අපි මල්මාමා ව දැක්කේ විජය පත්තරෙන්

මල් මාමාගේ උපත කෙසේ වෙතත් ආරම්භ උන විදිහ තිබුණු පත්තර පිටුව මම කියවල තියෙනවා. මලක සුවද බලන්න ගිහිල්ලා මල් මාමාගේ නහයට මල් ඇටයක් යනවා. ඒකට බේත් අරන් එන කොට නහය බැන්ඩේච් කරල විතරයි තිබුණේ. පස්සේ බේත් අරන් එන අතරේ කැලෑ ගමේ අලි මහත්තයාගේ ඇගේ වැදිලා දෙන්නා ගෙනාපු බෙහෙත් බෝතල් මාරු වෙනවා. අලි මහත්තයගේ පෝර වලට මල් ඇටේ පැල වෙලා මල් ගහක් හැදෙනවා. පස්සෙ විවිද ඇබැද්දි වෙලා තමයි තනි මලක් තියෙන මල් මාමා හැදුනේ.

මග හැරුණ කරුණක් තියේනම් එකතු කරන්න...

අන්තරජාලයෙන් වත් කොහෙන් වත් මට මල්මාමාගේ පසුබිම් කතාව උප්පත්තිය කිසි දෙයක් හොයාගන්න හම්බුනේ නෑ..

මල්මාමා කියන්නේ මගේ හිතේ Marvel , DC ඕනම කොමික් එක්කටත් ඉහලින් හිතේ පැලපදියම් උන චිත්‍ර කතාවක්. මල්මාමා කිව්වාම මතක් වෙන්නේ රතු ටී ශර්ට් එකක් ඇද ගත්ත නහයේ මලක් පිපුන තට්ට මනුස්සයෙක්.. මෙයාට තියෙනවා පියාඹන කාර් එකක්..මෙයා ගොඩාක් උත්සාහ කරනවා ඒ කාර් එක මිනිස්සුන්ගෙන් පරිස්සම් කරගන්න.. මල්මාමාගේ නහයට මලක් ආවේ මලක සුවද බලන්න යද්දි ඒ මලේ ඇටයක් නහයට ගිහිං.. ඊට පස්සෙ පොහොර ගෙනියන මනුස්සයෙක්ගේ පොහොර ටිකක් නහයට ගිහිං මේ මල පැළ වෙනවා.. ඒත් මේ මල අයින් කරන්න බෑ එහෙම වුනොත් මල් මාමා මැරෙනවා. ඉතින් එයාට සිද්ධ වෙනවා හැමදාම මලත් එක්කම ඉන්න.. ඕකයි සාරාංශය..

කතාව ලියන්නේ පියල් සමරවීර මහත්තයා

ඉස්සර එක කතාවක් කියවලා ඊලග සතිය වෙනකල් ඉවසිල්ලක් නෑ ඊලග කොටස කියවන්න.. මල්මාමා නැති සතියක් ආවාම මල පනිනවා අංශක 60ට ම. මං ඉස්සෙල්ලාම මල්මාමාව දැක්කේ අයියා කෙනෙක්ගේ ගෙදර පත්තරේකින්.. මතක විදියට මං 2007 ඉදලා වගේම විජය පත්තර ගන්න පටන් ගත්තා එතකොට රු.20යි. ඊටත් කලින් රු.5ලු. දැන් නම් රු.40යි. විජය පත්තරේ ගොඩාක් සාර්ථක වුනේ මං නම් හිතන්නේ මල්මාමා නිසයි.. මං වුනත් හැමදාම පත්තරේ ගත්තේ මල්මාමා කියවන්න තිබ්බ ඕන කමට.. අද කතාව කියවලා ඊලග අගහරුවාදා වෙනකල් ඉවසන්නෙ පුදුම අමාරුවකින්.. කරන්න දෙයක් නැතිම තැන පරන පත්තර සෙට් එකම අරං කතාව මුල ඉදංම කියවගෙන එනවා. කොච්චර කියෙව්වත් එපා වෙන්නෙත් නෑ.. කොච්චර කල් ගියත් ඉවසගෙන අවුරුදු ගනන් පත්තරේ ගත්තා. මල්මාමා කතා කියක් රිලීස් වෙලා තියෙනවද කියලා නම් දන්නේ නෑ.

Actually, in all seriousness, when it comes to blogs on Scouting, there are some fantastic ones out there that are full of resources, discussion, ideas and information all about Scouting. Since we here at the Cub Hub spend a lot of time totally immersed in everything Cub Scouts, we’re reading these blogs every day. Some of the blogs we love are connected with Boys’ Life magazine, and some are connected with Scouting magazine. Of course it stands to reason our two favorite magazines would also have some of our favorite blogs on all things Scouting!

From Tuesday Talkbacks to BSA policy updates, and a lot of fun features in between, Bryan on Scouting is a top-shelf resource, updated daily. As its subtitle says, it’s a “Blog for the BSA’s Adult Leaders,” and it’s also the official blog of Scouting Magazine, every Scouter’s favorite publication! If you don’t read Bryan on Scouting, you’re probably missing out on a lot of great information. They regularly feature Cub Scouting articles as well, so it’s worth reading for leaders of Scouts of all ages.

2. Cub Scout Ideas

When it comes to practical tips from a Scout Mom who’s been there and done it, Cub Scout Ideas is at the top of our list. Blog founder, Sherry and her husband are both Scout leaders. Of her blog, Sherry says, “My goal here at Cub Scout Ideas is to save you tons of time by giving you fun, inexpensive, easy and creative ideas you can use immediately… so you can spend less time on the work and get to focus on the FUN with your Scouts!” We couldn’t agree more, Sherry!

3. Brite Idea Scouting

 

This clean and crisp, beautifully designed blog is a new addition to the Scouting digital universe. But what it lacks in longevity it makes up for in ambition. It’s a blog, it’s a podcast, and it has a simple mission from Scouter and blog owner, Douglas Boyce: “With this blog, I want to help as many Scouts and Scouters learn the best practices I and others have learned.” It’s chalk full of Scouting news, resources and ideas, including some clever tips on recruiting and promoting your Scouting unit.

4. Book Zone (from Boys’ Life)

 

 Like Heads Up, this Boys’ Life blog is all about promoting the skill and enjoyment of reading for youth. Literacy is an important element that Scouting promotes, and what better way than to target a Scouting blog to young Scouts that’s all about great reads and captivating tales they can sink their imaginations into? Book Zone is the literary hot list for your Cub Scout or Boy Scout.

5. Scouter Mom

 

When it comes to insights on social situations that can occur within your Den or Pack, Scouter Mom has great advice. Whether it’s resolving concerns with special health requirements, social anxiety, Cub Scouts that aren’t sure they want to cross over, or whatever the question, she listens to the concerns of Scouters from all over, and responds on her blog in practical, meaningful ways. In a way, Scouter Mom is really kind of everybody’s mom when it comes to that passionate advocacy and protective charm that comes from being a Scout Mom!

6. Chief’s Corner

 

There’s no corner like the Chief’s Corner, where the Chief Scout Executive weighs in on issues of the day as well as messages from the heart. Straight from the horse’s mouth so to speak, the Chief Scout Executive, Wayne Brock, encourages Scouts and Scouters with thoughts that are core to the Scouting experience. It’s a great blog to check up on every couple of weeks and share with your Den or Pack as well as the parents of the Cub Scouts in your unit. The blog has moved to a new location on Scouting Wire, but in essence it’s the same Chief’s Corner we know and love.

7. Scouting Newsroom Blog

The official Newsroom for the Boy Scouts of America has a blog that is constantly updated with all the latest news from the BSA and from Scouts all across the nation. It’s a great blog to keep in your bookmarks tab and return to often. The Newsroom isn’t only a resource for journalists, but for everyone involved in Scouting. If you want to feel connected to the organization in a way that is fun and informative, check out the Scouting Newsroom Blog.

8: Scouting Wire 

Scouting Wire is the hottest new Scouting website around and it’s geared toward volunteers and employees to offer news and resources in an easy, centralized location. This is essential for Cub Scout leaders because many of the new program updates and changes will be explained and announced on Scouting Wire. If you choose the Volunteer portal, and click on the Cub Scouts category, you’ll discover winning articles and the latest news for all things Cub Scouts. You’ll definitely want to tune in to Scouting Wire no matter what, but especially in our lead up to June 1 and the new Cub Scouts program launch.

9. The Cub Hub

OK, we couldn’t leave a whole list of blogs here without a little shameless self promotion! The Cub Hub at CubScouts.org is your blog for all things Cub Scouts! We dive into the specifics of the Cub Scout experience and have a lot of fun doing it. Featuring everything from our favorite Pinewood Derby cars and Scout Cakes, to posting clever ideas on Blue and Gold and Den Meeting Activities, the Cub Hub is a place that draws from your insights and experiences in Scouting, and packages up information and news in entertaining and useful ways. That’s our aim, and our pleasure!
