[Scouting] The path
The Path
The Path is not always clear,
It's not always easy.
There will be obstacles,
You will walk in the shadows as well as the light.
Achievement isn't gifted to you,
It's not something in your DNA.
You earn it through dedication and determination,
Through your own endurance and will to succeed.
Piece by piece, step by step,
No challenge is too great.
How far can you see?
How far can you go?
Stand up,
Step forward.
Seek out your ambition and pursue it without fear.
How far can you go?
Stand up,
Step forward.
Seek out your ambition and pursue it without fear.
You are not alone,
You will meet others along the way,
Together you will not falter.
Look to your future,
Build upon your past,
From deepest river to mountain top,
You determine your Path.
Inspired by the words of Baden-Powell, written by Guy, James, Thom, Chris and Lee.

[Scouting] Post Taiwan to the World
中文版
"Post Taiwan to the World" project has been kicked-off since June 2013 after knowing I am going to KISC[1] for International Rover Week(IRW)[2]. In the following article I will try to explain how it start and what is it, and last but not least what happened in the end. :)
After my first oversea jamboree(2007 WSJ[3]), I started writing letters and sending postcards to my friends I met there, I promise to myself that I want to do more to introduce Taiwan, the beautiful island where I grow up. However, the number is really limited if I only write to people I know, and post-crossing is not within the option since I don't want to send people who do it only for country collection like having trophies.
This year I happened to have chance to join 2013 International Rover Week in KISC Switzerland.
According to the bulletin, it's going to invite 45 countries, 90 scouts in total to attend the "90 Jubilee" for the iconic scout centre.
That is the time I begin to think what could I bring to this event to achieve this goal.
And Nisan Design(尼森設計)[4] helped a lot with this project.
"Post Taiwan to the World" is their slogan and vision. Nisan is a Taiwan based Design studio specialize in producing Taiwan Featured Postcards, their famous collection includes "Learning Chinese Characters", "Ancient Map of the island".
I wrote to them to explain the event I would like to go and ask if I could use their products to promote Taiwan. And they accepted the proposal. What's better? I received the postcards they sponsored at the next working day!
(The collection here are all featured Taiwan Nature Scenery, endemic species, folk rituals, etc.)
With all these postcards, people can read the introductions of each amazing photos and choose one they like, write to themselves, and give it back to me. After collecting all these cards, I will bring them back to Taiwan and post them! You will have your event memory, images of Taiwan all together after a few weeks.
It was designed for participants of IRW, who are all above 18, capable to understand the rules in English and put down their full address on it. However, with some assistance of other guides or venture scouts, I decided to expanded to all the people at the venue for international night. Some of kids have written their first postcard in their lives to themselves, even for parents. Some staffs(Pinkies) at KISC are happy to have chance to write themselves a postcard to hometown.
Maybe you could find your countries here(Put in alphabetical order):
To be honest, I don't know. Most of people I sent don't have my contacts. I can only cross my fingers to hope all the postcards go back to their owner. Maybe I will never know whether all cards have reached their destinations. However, the more important thing is that the cards are not about me but themselves. The content was written by themselves in their own languages.
A few receivers are my pals met in IRW. Today (10 Sep 2013) they told me they received the postcards! :)
They love it and this is what I want from the very first place, I want people be happy, smiling and looking at the postcard with lovely memories about this summer.
Who knows, maybe I will launch the project next time. And you can do the same. :)
As a scout, I'm possible for everything I want to achieve, right?
[1] KISC:
Kandersteg International Scout Centre is a World Centre of the World Organisation of the Scout Movement (WOSM). The Centre began in 1923 with Lord Baden-Powell, who, after the first World Scout Jamboree, had a dream about a place where all Scouts from all over the world could meet. His dream came true and now YOU have the opportunity to visit Kandersteg International Scout Centre and live YOUR Dream! Check it here!
[2] International Rover Week:
This long tradition started with Alpine Weeks for Rovers in the 1930s and was rekindled in 2011 with our first International Rover Week. Since then, we hosted a total of four International Rover Weeks, both in Summer and Winter, and this year, in 2013, we are looking forward to the biggest one yet:

"Post Taiwan to the World" x 2013 IRW
"Post Taiwan to the World"是尼森明信片的宗旨，希望可以把台灣寄出去，讓世界都看見！透過與全世界交換明信片的方式，用明信片行銷台灣，讓更多人認識臺灣的美好。
在確定參加2013IRW的露營之後，我嘗試寫信給尼森設計，因為原本就非常喜歡之前出版的「學中文」、「古地圖」系列，希望這次可以在國際之夜，透過明信片的協助(like visual aid)讓我介紹臺灣的風土民情，當初設計的遊戲規則是透過現場的介紹，參加者可在現場挑選喜歡的明信片，用自己喜歡的語言文字留下記錄，由我帶回臺灣寄出，這樣不但明信片上可以帶著臺灣的郵戳，更可以在活動結束之後數週再度激起心中那小小的回憶漣漪，讓大家回想當時活動的美好記憶，及對我比較重要的，對這片土地的一點點認識。
但是90張（官方提供之預計參加人數）對我來說實在是一個龐大的數字，我希望透過詢問了解是否有大批購買的優惠，可以稍微減輕自己的負擔（畢竟還有郵資的部份），沒想到對方願意使用贊助的方式支持我，於是我在幾天後收到了五套四組（每組8款不同圖樣），共160張明信片供我帶去歐洲！
上週在經歷了漫長的旅程後歸國，明信片也跟著我繞了地球半圈回到這裡，經過今天一個下午的整理，這些明信片，共收回142張，將各自寄往：
香港、日本、澳大利亞、巴布亞紐幾內亞、美國、加拿大、羅馬尼亞、阿根廷、哥斯大黎加、丹麥、比利時、馬達加斯加、吉里巴斯、迦納、荷蘭、保加利亞、愛爾蘭、瑞士、南非、葡萄牙、賽普勒斯、西班牙、芬蘭、英國、塞爾維亞，25個國家（地區）。
希望這些明信片在禮拜一貼上郵票之後，都可以順利抵達選定它的主人手上，finger crossed!
謝謝大家的幫忙跟促成，希望你們會喜歡囉！ :)
