Ten minutes before the start time … no kids. Two minutes before the start time, and all of a sudden Cub Scouts and Scouts turn up. The silent hall becomes an insane hub of noise, and it’s a fantastic feeling to know that this year, we do have an active ‘Scout Group’.

For those that are new, we had extreme low numbers at this time last year, and both the 1^st Portarlington Scout Group Leaders and the District commissioners were not looking at an exciting future. I’m very happy to announce that this outlook has changed.

Thank you Julieanne (Cub Scouts) and Damien (Scouts)

All accreditation goes to Julieanne and Damien for the growth of the Scout Group over the past year. Both of these two leaders have managed the youth sections to the point that it has encouraged other youth members to join.

I’d also like to let you all know that at the end of last year, Julieanne was awarded with the Certificate of Merit for Recognition of Good Service from the Chief Scout of Australia. Congratulations Julieanne!

Egyptian Theme Camp

Cub Scout Pack Camp

This is another of my favourite camps that I’ve had the ability to organise with the help from other Leaders. Thanks to the efforts from the Leaders of 1^st/2^nd Ocean Grove and Leopold Cub Scout Packs, this camp ended up being successful – with all the youths mummifying toy koala bears (wrapping them in white gauze), and placing them in a hand-made sarcophagus.

The youth’s also were able to make a four sided pyramid complete with a covering of white sand.

Cub Scout Pack Camp

The idea of this camp came from an old Scout magazine (sorry, but I can’t remember exactly which magazine). The camp was highly enjoyable, and everything ran well. It ended up being a combined event of Portarlington, Hamlyn Heights and Leopold Cub Scouts, Scouts and Leaders.
