Introduction to Project Orion II

Project Orion II - Rovering with Turtles
is the 4th Scouts of the World Award (SWA) Voluntary Service Project of the SWA Singapore Base.

The 2nd installment of this project will be led by 9 youths from Singapore and they will return to Setiu, Terengganu, where the pioneer team had left their legacy a year ago.

The primary aim of the team would be the conservation of sea turtles, but that would not be their only contribution during the project duration of 26th June to 10th July. The 9 passionate youths will also be involved in mangrove replanting, repair work for the villagers and WWF info centre and English and conservation awareness education for the children.

What are your aims for Project Orion II?

To complete the project with everyone in safe hands and hope that all of us can bond together as a team and communicate effectively. In addition, I hope to interact more with the local community and to understand their culture and way of life.


What is your purpose for taking up Project Orion II?
To learn more about turtle conversation efforts and also to do something constructive and meaningful to the local community.

What services do you have to offer to save the environment?

I have two hands and the resilience to work on things that can save the environment.


What do you think about the environment currently?

More actions can be taken to conserve the environment, despite the recent initiatives and forums. Extinction of flora and fauna is prevalent and erratic climate changes are prominent now.

What do you think should be done to minimize the damage our environment is facing?
Think before doing detrimental acts on the environment now as the impacts may not be immediately visible, and most probably will affect the future generation. Start conserving the environment now! Everyone has a part to play.
