Scouts 10th October (2024)

UNITs!
 
Yes you folks... I know I know, you're just wrapping your heads around how you managed to sleep through an entire term holiday and find yourself back at school, without finishing that homework project on why Echidna's make rubbish ballon animals...
 
The struggle is real...
 
On the plus side, if you've been "blessed" with a leadership role at our belov'd 4th Kew it's time to get your thinking caps on 'cause its Unit Council...
 
For those not in the know this is where us adult leader types bribe our PLs and APLs with junk food to do the term planning for you (I might be paraphrasing there from the training module on "The Scout Method").
 
So PLs and APLs ONLY can you please come along brim full of cool ideas this Thursday the 10th to cram our last term of the year with awesome activities that would make even BP himself go "Dang, fo-shizzle, ah wish I was a young blood more time, dang" or something like that...
 
All the others get the night off, use it to catch up on that echidna project if you like...
 
 
 
Additionally - by way of big picture this term for them's who find flying by the seat of their pants a wee bit drafty we have:
 
The Fantastic Race - it like The Amazing race, only more fantastic with less eating of cow's unmentionables (they promise). This year it's being held on the 9th November. More details (ish) can be found here tfr | powered by Bentleigh East Scout Group (moorabbinscoutgroup.net) and there's already a patrol in the offing...
 
The weekend after, on the 15th to the 17th November we have the Pre-Jam camp at Pax Hill. This is a compulsory camp for those lucky ducks attending Jamboree - you'll meet the other units attending, sort out key things (like who's in charge) and get those nights under canvas for those who are still uncertain which end of a sleeping bag to stick their feet in...
 
We've also put our hand up for a spot of Caving - so watch this space and we might be lucky to head down a dank hole...
 
And there's also few smaller camps being floated by our intrepid youf plus there's gotta be some ASA journey's in the planning - tic'tock tic'tock...
 
So our intrepid young units - looking forward to finding out what you've been up to these holidays and more fun to wrap up 2024...
 
Yours in poor-planning
 
Jacinta, Will, Jason and Stuart

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

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

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
