Project Orion - Rovering with Turtles is the 2nd Scouts of the World Award (SWA) Voluntary Service Project of the SWA Singapore Base. Led by 9 Rover Scouts from Singapore and Malaysia, the project is set upon the beautiful wetlands and beaches of Setiu, Terengganu. Lasting 16 days from 20th June to 5th July, the team will not only be contributing to the conservation of sea turtles, but will also be involved in mangrove replanting, repair work for the villagers and WWF info centre, English and conservation awareness education, assistance in the local women's cottage industry amongst many others. "Leave the place a little better than you first found it." - Lord Baden Powell
UPDATE: The blog will be updated from time to time with more turtle new issues. However, Project Orion blog will be replaced by the next project when it starts with the new team. So, DO STAY TUNED!
