The Kota Kinabalu Scouts Diamond Jubilee Camp 98’ was successfully held on the 28 November – 2 December 1998. About 400 Scouts and Leaders from 12 districts attended the Camp. 17 activities were done. The Crew was happy and proud to be heavily involved in organising the Camp. They work all day and night to make it happen. Some of the members were even given some very important positions in the Organsing Camp Committee. The Crew was also appointed as the Camp Secretariat. Some of the members appointed were :

Ahmed Tariq Aripen - Chief Activity
Ahmed Farouk Aripen - Cultural Night
Sufian Abdul Ghani - Chief Secretariat
Kwong Chiew Foong - Head of Emergency Unit
Huzaimi Ghazali - Head of Program Book Publications Unit

House, Sembulan, Kota Kinabalu. 2 members joined the course. They were the Crew Leader, Ahmed Tariq Aripen, and a member, Jasmin Tarmin. It was informed that both succeeded the course and hopefully they will get the beads by 1999 – only if they completed their 5000 words thesis! Good luck anyway.

The Crew’s 4th Annual General Meeting was held on 21st March 1999. Outgoing Crew Leader Ahmed Tariq Aripen did not defend his position but was taken over by Ahmed Farouk, his twin brother. Few proposals has been adopted during the meeting such as reducing members monthly fees, reducing the number of Committee Members, increasing the qualification for Crew Leaders and introducing new tests for Rover Squires. The result of the meeting will hopefully bring better administration to the Crew. The new Crew Committee members line-up are as follows :
