Planning for Great Scoutdoors

Our Scouts and Cubs have had a very busy term, despite being stuck doing Zoom sessions for each meeting. Planning is now underway for Term 4, which could be half online and half out and about again.

Scouts have had their Unit Council and planned for the term, which is going to keep them busy outdoors. Scouts NSW is organising a virtual weekend camp called “The Great Scoutdoors” as well as their State Rally later in the term and several bushwalks. It will certainly be great to get out again with their patrols – following all of the safety protocols, of course! Scouts only take risks that are adventurous.

Cubs and Joeys will also be spending many of their sessions outdoors to catch up on our bushwalking, orienteering, emergency first aid, cycling and camping skills. As the weather warms, we are also looking forward to completing some areas of our water safety awareness as well.

Cubs would also like to reach out to our Helensburgh Community and invite any locals with specialist or environmental or science knowledge to join us for some of our remaining Zoom meetings and talk about their area
of expertise.

We know we have a big pool of talent here that we’d love to share with our Cubs.

Do you know more about our local birdlife? Or have a conservation idea? We’d love to meet you. You can contact our Cub Leader on the email below if you have about 20 minutes on a Thursday evening from next term and can share your knowledge.

We’re still welcoming members to all sections, so if you are curious and would like to try out Cubs or Scouts, contact naomi.burley@nsw.scouts.com.au
