IMPORTANT NOTICE

Hi all.

Until further notice, there will be no 1st Coburg Scouts activities. This means ALL gathering planned this week will not proceed.

We have been keeping up to date with developments over the weekend, and sadly we are at this point.

Connie decided that after Premier Dan Andrews announced the decision to close schools and non-essential services from Tuesday onwards, it was prudent follow suit.

The hall will also be closed for any non-scout acitivites at the same time. Any hall hires between now and the end of April will also be cancelled.

As always, please reach out to the Group by email 1stcoburgscoutsgroup@gmail.com if you have any questions.

Thanks for your understanding. We hope you all are safe and well as we enter these uncharted times.

Yours in Scouting

Paul Ferrari
Group President

1st Coburg Scouts Group donates goods for those in need

Today, 1st Coburg Scout Group handed over supplies from the Group’s pantry and Q-store to the Rotary Club of Pascoe Vale for distribution to elderly and vulnerable locals. 
The donation included, hand soap, sanitiser, tea, coffee, cereal, biscuits, pasta, long life milk, tissues, paper towel and toilet paper.

The decision to donate these goods recognises these items are needed more than ever in the community right now, instead of languishing in our cupboards.

Scouts live by the their values, including “The importance of mutual support and help between members of a community to maximise the quality of life for all”. 

We think this small gesture will help our community during these unprecedented times, and recognises the contribution of so many in the community who help Scouts.
