Hi all.
We had a great day at Bunnings Coburg today, selling over $1900 in sausages and drinks, with net profit just over $1200. his will help the Group with much needed funds to continue our camping and Group equipment upgrades, and some targeted spending on security to reduce the likelihood of another break and enter.
It was really great to see many new family members joining in to help make today a success.
We have two more BBQ fundraisers in 2016 (August and October), so keep an eye out for rosters and more information closer to these dates.
Thanks again to everyone who helped out to make today a success.
Paul
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.

Break and enter at Hall
Hi all.
I am saddened to say that earlier this week some people took it upon themselves to break into the Hall by jimmying the front door lock and took the wooden combustion heater we installed last year, and it now appears they took our cash tin (empty-ironically).
We have reported this to the Police and are in the process of lodging an insurance claim. We have also repaired and upgraded the security around the lock on the door to prevent this happening again (at least through this access point). We have also decided that the sensor lighting outside the Hall will be left on around the clock to make it less appealing for would be thieves, so we expect a bit more money to be spent on power.
Moving forward Andrew Murray (Quartermaster) and the committee will be investigating other security options to further harden our Hall.
I am bitterly disappointed at the fact someone in our community may have taken it upon themselves to steal one of our prized fixed assets, especially from our Scout Group.
If you have any questions, ideas or concerns please contact either myself or Group Leader Connie.
