Upcoming events for scouts will be:
- 14/3-15/3 District Hike. I have been looking at a section of the Surfcoast trails which will involve 1 day of about 12 kms and next day about 11 kms. I waiting for input from the other scout leaders before deciding. This hike will award Pioneer level and Explorer level.
- Stradbroke Cup (competition camping). Held at Easter I have spoken to Paul from 1st Oak Park about a joint troop. There is different venues for this so we are yet to decide. This camp provides scouts with an opportunity to achieve 4 consecutive nights under canvas which is mandatory for application for the next Jamboree which will be in NSW Jan 2016.
- We have offered the scouts a night out on one of the meetings in the 1st term and awaiting their ideas as where to go. Things like bowling, visit to police station, indoor rock climbing etc.
We would really like to have some parents stay on Wednesdays to help out. Minimum requirement is Working With children Check and registered as an official Adult helper. If you do ,you can wear a group scarf on the night. As well as meetings, adult helpers can come to camps.
Also we require scouts to be signed in on arrival to the hall and as it was at Oak Park and please bring a small back pack with basic water bottle, sunblock, hat, raincoat etc.
Cheers John and Liz
