SINGAPORE: Don’t be surprised if you see a scout knocking on your door, offering to clean your room.
Starting on Saturday March 10, more than 10,000 scouts will scour the island for jobs, in return for cash donations. Job Week is an annual affair to raise funds for the Singapore Scout Association. The launch ceremony saw scout members performing a series of household chores at the Istana compound(it is an official residence of the President). And for the first time, girls in scouting will be joining their male counterparts in the job hunt.

President SR Nathan, who is also the Chief Scout of Singapore, signed the first donation card on 6th March.
