Hello Scouts!

I'm a writer for the Dutch Scouting Magazine especially for the age of 10-15
years old. I always write about a group in a certain country. And I thought:
"Hey, let's write about Jamaica!" It would be nice if I could describe the way
scouting works in Jamaica. The only thing I need further is the answers to the
questions written down here and some photos of the group so I can show how
scouts of Jamaica use their uniforms and what sort of activities they do.

Ok, here are my questions:

What is the name of your group?
>How many members does your group have?
>How do you call the children when they are 5-7 years old, 7-10 years old, 10-15
years old and 15-18 years old?

The next questions are only about the children of 10-15 years old:
>How do you open a scouting meeting?
>How do you close a scouting meeting?
>How does your uniform look like?
>What kind of activities do you do?
>Do you go on summercamp?
>Can you describe your last summercamp?
>Is there anything special to tell about your group?

Well, I hope to hear from you soon! I have time till the 1st of April to
write it.

Scoutgreetings,
Martijn from Holland
I also need photo's for my article, sow if anyone has photo's you can mail them to me!

we do not go to a summer camp but sometimes we go to a camp at winer or spring.
we have campfires and singing and play games.
