1st Helensburgh Scout Group kicked off the year with a planning session, so their term one program is already organised. It is going to be a busy year for our Scouts as they work toward their Outdoor Skills goals, camping nights and fundraising.
We are playing quite a bit of catch-up from not being able to camp ‘under canvas’ even at the end of 2020, but we are sure that they will be up to the challenges! On that note, if you see a bin with signs for the Scout group for your cans and bottle recycling at any of our generous community support venues, these are there to raise funds for new camping gear. Parents will be collecting the bins, but it will be our Scouts and Cubs putting in the time to put them through the recycling machines and ensuring they go back into the production cycle and don’t end up in landfill.
The start of the year is a perfect time to come along and try out Joeys, Cubs or Scouts. We have all three sections running and we’ll be starting back from the week beginning February 1.
Scouts (12-15 years) runs on Tuesdays from 7-8.45pm, Joeys (5-8 years) and Cubs (8-11/12 years) are on Thursdays: Joeys from 5-6pm and Cubs 6.30-8pm. Both girls and boys are welcome in all sections – it’s for anyone with a spirit for adventure, imagination and the willingness to try new things. We have a strong outdoor focus but balance this with creative, STEM and reflection activities. Contact us at: scouts@helensburghscouts.org.au to double-check where each section will be running that week as we do quite a few nights outdoors – weather permitting!
