The event was part of a Scout Sub-branch Jamboree 2023 attended by students at elementary and middle schools of Jagakarsa district.

Making batik is not merely drawing wax on a plain white fabric. It also embodies the Javanese philosophy of Tridaya, consisting of cipta, rasa, and karsa (creation, emotion, and execution)to guarantee the batik's high quality.
