This Circular dated 22 May 2009 was issued out to all participating Units:
Dear all,
After consultation and feedbacks received from concerned parties regarding the H1N1 situation reigning the region, it was animously decided together with the travel agent that we will postpone the trip to 1-5 December 2009.
As SSA had already committed 100% payment to the trip with the travel agent, insurance, accommodations etc and the various local vendors. Units who have not complete the balance payment through IFAAS, are advised to do so to minimise administrative inconveniences. In the event of non-payment of the outstanding amount, SSA will deduct the due amount from the Scout Unit Fund as ruled.
I do hope that the postponement will ease all worries and concerns. However, do note that there will be no further postponement in the event that the situation does not improve at the scheduled date. Any self-cancellation or withdrawal of the trip will be deemed as forfeiture of payment/or participation.
Unit Leaders are advised to inform parents that the postponement is done in the interest of the well-being of our participants and leaders.
