Hi all.
A huge thanks to everyone for making 2016 at 1st Coburg Scouts start off with a bang! The year will get busier as the news below shows:
New starters at Cubs
Welcome to Callan, Logan and Kai who have joined to Cub pack for 2016 - Welcome to you and your families!
There are a couple more aspiring cubs in the wings who we hope to welcome soon making the Cubs pack bigger than ever.
Founders Day - Sunday 28 February 2016 at Cole Reserve, Pascoe Vale
Every year our district celebrates the birthday of Lord Robert Baden-Powell's birthday (22 February 1857). This year is no different. This is a free event for cubs, scouts and their families with a barbecue lunch provided.
Start time is 9:30am registration for a 10:00am start
Location: Cole Reserve, Cumberland Road Pascoe Vale
Parent's Committee - Wednesday 17 February from 7pm
We are holding our first Parent's Committee meeting at the 1st Coburg Scout Hall on Wednesday night. All parents are invited to attend as we want as many parents involved in the decisions of the Committee.
We are still looking for parents to join the Committee in the Secretary and Fundraising Co-ordinator roles. The success of our group to date has been as a result of the great work from parents past and present. We'd love more people to help shape our Group's future. We have some capital works planned for 2016 and we would value as many people to be involved in this plus the day-to-day management of the Group. Talk to either myself or your leader if you have any questions.
Bunnings BBQ - Saturday 12 March 2016
The roster is filling up. If you are swinging by the Scout hall for pick-up/drop-off this week, please put your name down for a few hours as this is a big opportunity to raise funds for our group, and for new parents a great way to meet parents and leaders.
Parent helpers - many hands make light work
If the idea of being on the Committee doesn't push your buttons, there is another way to contribute to the group through becoming a parent helper. Many of our parents have great skills and qualifications that can help enrich our children (sadly I have the boring banker/auditor skills....). It is a mandatory requirement to have a valid Working with Children's check done, however this is free if completed through Scouts. Please contact the leaders or myself if you wish to sign up.
As always, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions
Regards
Paul Ferrari

1st Coburg Scouts has been a part of the local community for almost 90 years. We started in the 1930's in an old tin shed before eventually moving into our current hall in 1970 (known as Tuddenham Hall). Our Group caters for youth members between ages 5-14 and supports Venturers & Rovers beyond. Our Group values diversity, inclusion and equality.
