MY BLOGGING ACTIVITIES took the back seat in the past week. I’ve been devoting a huge chunk of both my work and personal time into my Boy Scout projects.
I’ve been actively involved in the Scouting movement ever since I joined Delbros in May 2007. My CEO, Ed Delgado, is a member of the National Executive Board (NEB) of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines. He is also the chairman of the organization’s IT Committee. As his CIO, my job effectively extends to cover his Boy Scout concerns. It’s an arrangement I do not mind since I got hooked to Scouting myself the minute he brought me into it.
Last Saturday we made a “soft launch” of our Boy Scout Web Portal project by presenting it to the NEB. Developed in partnership with Yehey.com, the Portal is designed to be the primary online source of, and window to, all information and resources about the Scouting Movement in the Philippines.†I’m truly excited about the Portal’s potential to reach out to, and touch the lives of, more than two million Filipino young people.
We also launched the official Website of the forthcoming Asia-Pacific Scout Jamboree which the Philippines is hosting in December 2009.†#
