Jobweek 2020 postponement

Fong Kah Chun

Following the outbreak of the coronavirus (2019 n-CoV) in China and its spread to other countries, and the measures implemented by Singapore’s Ministry of Health (MOH) and Ministry of Education (MOE), The Singapore Scout Association will be postponing Job Week 2020 to a later date, likely June 2020.

In view of the uncertain situation, this intention will be reviewed in Apr 2020, and further updates will be communicated to all Principals/Sponsoring Authorities and Unit Leaders via email circular.

Please feel free to contact SSA HQ Office at email hq@scout.org.sg for any clarification.

Thank you.

Yours-in-Scouting,
Mr Gary Lim
Executive Director
