Scouts Thursday 25th May

Units of a Scoutlike Shape!
 
It feels a long time since I've bombarded you with confusion and chaos but anyhew, it's your lucky day.
 
Fresh from our Sprout-hiking glory/ordeal Maddie and Kalia are organising another opportunity to showcase 'dem mad navigational skills in a good 'ole fashioned "drop and run".
 
What's a "drop and run" you ask? Well its not what you do with your dirty dishes at home that's for certain...
 
SO: 
  1. We'll be dividing into two big patrols
  2. Heading into the city
  3. Completing fun tasks, and
  4. Seeing if we can find our way back to the hall without ending up in Geelong.
What could go wrong they say? How long ya' got is the answer...
 
YOU WILL NEED;
  1. Your full Uniform (it's easier to identify the bodies that way)
  2. A Myki with some cash on it (lest you have to walk home)
  3. A little money for a snack/a snack to give you sustenance for the great voyage ahead.
  4. A warm jacket (it does get chilly you know)
  5. Your street smarts.
WE WILL ALSO NEED A COUPLE OF PARENTAL TAXI DRIVERS TO ACHEIVE THE "DROP" PART OF THE "DROP AND RUN". (Apparently the traditional blindfolding of Scouts during the journey to their drop point was frowned upon after suggestions that it might look suspicious).
 
This taxi service will be one way only - i.e. kick 'em out in the city, drive back in blessed silence. Volunteers' greatly appreciated!
 
And what's this got to do with the great siege of Mafeking and what would 'ole BP have to say about it I hear you ask? Good question - I'll get back to you on that one.
 
As your taxi's will be awaiting with engines revving and we want to get back before the night bus service starts, please ensure you're at the hall before 7pm! The more punctual you are the more time you get to ponder the menu of your favourite "inappropriate snack" shop in the city. 
 
Thanks
 
Maddie, Kalia, Jason (in absentia) and Stuart

Term One Scout Planner, AJ2025 and Feb camp

Well hallo Units and their PAs,   I know you were just lamenting to all your friends how dull and boring your fridge looked without this term's handy-dandy term planner on it... Well fear no more, that dull shopping list with cat food and toilet roll but no maxi-pack of Magnums can now be easily obscured with all the cool-beans fun your good ole unit council and leaders have cooked up for you. Your planner is attached for your fridging pleasure.   But all this comes at a cost you know, no - not monetary, well not yet anyway, we need ACTION! Hard RSVPs that's the currency we want.   Dates are bearing down on us like a freight train of commitment screaming along the greased wheels of inevitably - oh old man time - give it a break why don't you....   First up - Bay Park Camp on the 23rd to the 25th . This is the camp to start all camps - the camp for you! What's that you say? You've just started linking and don't even know which end of a scout goes

End of term reminders

Hello to Scout families.     Last night was the last meeting for term 1.    Wishing everyone a safe and Happy Easter, it's been a very short but hectic term.   Reminders to all to please pay for Stradbroke Cup and yearly Scout fees if you haven't already.     Lots of compliments to all our Scouts (last night) as they put their phones aside for the night and didn't use them at all!    We have had a few scouts asking about replacement scarves for various reasons, please have your scout look around to find it.  We are deciding on the best way to do this, so stay tuned!      Next term we will most likely have a camp staying in tents to practice for camping as scout in preparation for Australian Jamboree. All are welcome even  if not go to AJ2025.    Information on Jamboree with registrations closing June 30  https://bit.ly/aj2025   We also have Scout hike (May 17 - May 19)  https://scoutsvictoria.com.au/activities-events/events/scouts/s

Scout night plan 31st July

Forwarding a message from our master of ceremonies/chaos Emil.    Nice planning Emil! It's got everything: dreams drama, a sense of foreboding, just what we expect...   For the TL;DNR please   We will meet at the IKEA entrance of Vic gardens at 7pm NOT at the hall.    Pick up will be from the HALL at 9pm (unless we all get lost in IKEA).   A good time will be had, we will not bring shame upon our unit.    Oh and please remember to Wear Your Uniform. It'll help them find you in Smàland and remind you that shame shall not be brought...   See you tomorrow scouts Yours Ëmil, Jacinta, Will, Stuart, Jason From: Emil Russell   Here's the plan for scouts this week. We will meet at the Ikea entrance of Victoria Gardens where we will give a quick briefing and hand out the scavenger hunt lists. I will then send out everyone all around Victoria Gardens in patrols. We will then meet back at the entrance of Ikea at 8:15 then we will
