Seasons Greetings 2022

Scouts is over for another year.  The leaders and commitee want to thank all the families, friends and supporters of our Group for an amazing 2022. We are now 99 youth strong, with a whole new generation of leaders training up to take 1st Coburg into the future stronger than ever!

For our families and the community, some updates for the festive season

• Youth gatherings will commence around the same time as school term 1 starts.  More details to follow closer to start dates.
• The hall is not available for hire between Saturday 24 December 2022 - Sunday 8 January 2023.
• Any enquiries sent through the the group mailbox will not be responded to as promptly over the holiday period.

Once again thanks everyone for making the past year such a success.

New Banking Details

Hi all

Effective immediately - the Group will be operating from the following bank account:

Account Name: 1st Coburg Scout Group

Bank and Branch: National Australia Bank 330 Collins Street

BSB: 083-004

Account Number: 44-423-1686

All payments will need to be made to the above account moving forward. There is no action needed from this message - but more FYI as we are winding down our CBA account after many years. 

In making this change, committee have retired the old cheque book, so moving forward our payments will be done by EFT using a two to authorise process that can be done remotely. In time we will be implementing PAYID functionality to allow for faster payments.  

The change will allow for remote payment approvals to be made by committee and to streamline our processes to move away from paper and pen. We were unable to progress without a change of bank as CBA did not allow for remote payment and authorisation processes.

Any questions, please reach out to the committee.

Yours in Scouting

Paul

We're back! - Cubs is on at the hall this Thursday from 7pm

 

Hi everyone

I have been waiting for so long to be able to type this email 😊

Cubs are back to face to face gatherings this Thursday from 7pm at the hall.  The cub leaders are finalising some fun COVIDSafe activities for our first face to face meeting since March.

Like all things in our community, there are some restrictions and changes.  We ask that you read this carefully before coming down to the hall and ask that you please follow these instructions and obey any requests from Leaders and Committee members as we reopen and refine face to face Scouting in a COVIDSafe way. 

 

***WARNING LONG READ!***

 

The below information is a summary of steps from the Scouts Victoria COVIDSafe Plan.

• We are able to conduct outdoor Scout activities outside around the hall.  Larger groups will be split into small groups limited to 10 participants, in addition to those who are reasonably required to run the activity such as Leaders, Adult Helpers, Rostered Parents and Carers, etc.
• There will be a Section COVIDSafe Champion at all gatherings who will help by overseeing and guiding everyone on COVIDSafe processes.
• If your child is unwell please keep them at home, especially if they have cold or flu-like symptoms.
• If you or any member of your household have been directed to self-isolate, or are awaiting a COVID-19 test result, STAY AT HOME until you have been given the all clear.
• The hall is closed but can be accessed to use toilets.
• All youth members and adults are required to sanitise hands upon arrival, during activities and prior to leaving.
• A record of people who have attended each activity (Leaders, youth members, parent helpers etc) will be kept.
• If you arrive early for drop off or pick up, stay in your car as we are required to register all people who stay for 15 minutes or longer with our gatherings. Cub Leaders will not be accepting kids before 6:55pm
• Please encourage your children not to shake hands or hug others.
• Face coverings are to be worn by those 12 years and older.  Whilst there is no requirement for those under 12 years to wear a face covering it is highly recommended. Masks for youth members are to be provided by parents/guardians
• Equipment used during activities will be sanitised before, during and after use.
• Bathroom facilities in the hall can be used and will be cleaned before and after gatherings.
• Frequently touched surfaces will be cleaned throughout the activity.
• Adults must continue to practice physical distancing requirements wherever possible between other adults and youth members.
• All attendees must bring their own drink bottles filled at home.
• If the activity involves food, all attendees will be asked to bring their own food in a container, just like at school.

If somebody becomes unwell at Scouts:

• If somebody becomes unwell at Scouts they will need to return home.
• If they show signs of COVID-19 symptoms, especially fever:
• They will be Isolated from the rest of the group until they are able to return home
• If the unwell person is a youth member the Leader in Charge will contact their parent/guardian immediately
• Leaders will call 000 if the condition becomes serious, such as difficulty in breathing
• The person should self-isolate and be tested for COVID-19
• The person or their parent/guardian should call the COVID-19 hotline on 1800 675 398 or contact their GP

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Group via email at 1stcoburgscoutsgroup@gmail.com

 

Once again we are all excited to be able to meet in person after 8 months of Zoom meetings.
