5.0) IST DO & DONT

a.) DON’T

 SMOKING and ALCOHOL are prohoited during the Jamboree.

 Don't over-do it and make yourself into a time bomb. If you are hot, tired,
hungry and thirsty get cool, rested, fed, and hydrated. I tend to be cranky if I
don't look after myself. Years of observation prove that many of my fellow leaders
may share the same problem.

 Never berate, criticize, argue with or yell at a staff member, youth leader or
fellow adult leader in the presence of scouts; no matter how much you think they
deserve it. A quiet talk at an appropriate distance will usually solve the problem
(and the problem may turn out to be yours).

 Don't "pull rank". You are a International Service Team, not a general or an
admiral, so there really isn't any rank to pull is there? Most people instantly
respect your position- just don't make a big deal out of it. Don't ask for special
privileges or try to impress staff members with your self importance.

 If you see a participant really bad at an activity, encourage them. Don't make fun
of them. I know it may be tempting to do, but don't do it. Because if you do, you
may have an upset participant on your hands, and that's never fun to deal with.

 Don't be afraid to ask questions. If you're in a difficult situation, don't be afraid

to contact your communication department.

 Have patience! These kids aren't stupid. They know that if they want something,
all they have to do is keep annoying you until they get it. Most of the time, the
first time you tell a kid to do something, odds are they won't do it. Don't get mad
at them though. Remember that they're a lot younger than you. Ask them again.
Try not to raise your voice too much.

 Don't raise your voice. Only do this in an emergency. This may scare your
campers, or if you do this a lot they may just ignore it.

 Campers hear everything, and I mean everything. So if you want to tell your
friend something, first think about if you want a little kid to hear it. The bad part
about kids hearing what you say is that they never remember it accurately.
They'll tell their parents and often exaggerate what you said (which usually has a
negative effect) .

 Leave all negativity at home! If you come in to camp with a bad mood, this will
hurt your campers' days. Even if you had a horrible night, come in with a smile. If
you feel you might feel below par, talk to your division head or a superior prior to
camp.

 Respect your participants and colleague and they'll respect you. They'll behave
better if you respect them. Just because you're in charge doesn't mean you can
yell at them and boss them around.

8
 b.) DO

 Join in the program and encourage the participants to do so: even if the program,
in your humble opinion, isn't all that good. A lively audience does more than
anything to enliven and energize a performer. Do participate. Participation is key.
The more you participate, the friendlier you become with the participants. Even if
it means running around a playground, do it. If they ask you to join in, you
should join in. Don't think about how stupid you'll look. Do it for the kids, and not
for yourself.

 Participate in ceremonies, traditions and practices of the camp even if they are
unfamiliar to you. Camps and camp staffs are proud of their traditions; imposing
your way of doing things on their program is a rude as imposing your way of
doing things in someone else's home.

 Carefully monitor any inter-troop rivalries that may develop. Scout aged boys are
hyper-competitive and often need to be reminded about fairness, courtesy and
sportsmanship. Set the tone of gentlemanly competition and require it of your
scouts.

 Give your youth leaders all the responsibility for success. See that they
understand what needs to be done, how and why and then observe from a great
distance. Check in with them every evening, ask lots of questions and put your
oar in only when it is asked or it is matter of safety.

 Be proud of your scouts, encourage them, congratulate them, admire them. Don't
try to be one of them, you aren't and never will be. When the rare opportunity to
join in at the boy level presents itself jump in, but don't interfere with their fun.

 Be as patient with your own shortcomings as those of your scouts. Don't sacrifice
the perfectly good on the altar of perfection.

c.) Resting, sleeping and over exertion

Working as a member of the IST is a very intense experience. At times you will
work hard and many people will be involved in physically demanding tasks. When
you are not working there is lots to keep you occupied. It is important that you
remember you will be living in this environment for a long time and tiredness can
really spoil the experience. It is vital that you get enough sleep and allow others
to as well. Whilst you may last a few days without enough sleep, eventually it will
catch up with you. It is also important for your safety and everyone else’s that
you are not too tired when you are working.

d.) Shift patterns and irregular working hours

Many IST members are working irregular hours. Many are working overnight, so
some people may be going to sleep when you are getting up. Please respect this
and avoid making excessive noise. Show consideration to those who need to rest.

e.) Who is here to help?

If you have a problem, there is Communication Division who can help.

f.) The Communication Division

The Communication Division will be responsible to hear your voice which & take
care of your welfare along the Jamboree. You can contact Mr. Ari Wijanarko
