[SCOUTS] Term 2 Update

WE ARE BACK!!! Finally after what has felt like the longest break from Scouts, 5th/6th is back for another amazing term of Scouting fun!! We’ve got many plans for this term and we cannot wait to share them with you all in the coming weeks.

Camps, fundraisers, Jamboree nights and so much more!!
Make sure to read each email to see what we are doing each week at Scouts.

This week though, we are at the hall for probably our greatest night of the entire year. It will be a great night for new people to try out Scouting. So make sure you invite all of your friends along!!

When: 7pm – Tues 16th April

Drop off and pick up: at the Scout hall King George VI Reserve

We announced that there will be another bring a friend prize of $200 towards anything within 5th/6th. Whether you want the money to go towards your Jamboree fee or a 5th/6th hoodie. This will be running for 6 months and the youth member with the most friends to have joined Scouting at 5th/6th will receive the prize. Congrats to Sidney and Hili who won our last bring a friend prize!! Remember to BRING A FRIEND each week to show them how cool Scouting can be!!

Brendan thought that not enough of the Scouts actually read the email and have no clue what we are doing each week. So, to make sure that they read the emails and sign up for everything, he is donating $5 to the FIRST Scout to find a spelling or grammatical mistake within the emails. An extra 50c will be added on top for every extra mistake you find. The money can only be redeemed once you have signed up for AJ2025. Make sure to be the first to find any mistakes and text or email Brendan before anyone else does!!

Our annual Dawn Service Sleepover
As we do every year, we will be attending the ANZAC Day Dawn Service at the Shrine of Remembrance in the city. We’ll be having a ‘sleepover’ in the hall the night before, then getting up super early to head the Shrine for the dawn service, followed by breakfast at Macca’s on the way back to the Scout hall. Full uniform (shirt and scarf) is required for the dawn service.
When: 8:00pm Wednesday 24th April – 8:30am Thursday 25th April

Cost: money for breakfast at Maccas

Drop off and pick up: at the Scout hall King George VI Reserve

Joeys and Cubs, as well as family members are very welcome to join us at the dawn service. You will need to meet us at the Scout hall at 5am, we’ll arrange transport into the Shrine – please also complete the registration form.
