Cubs helping the Planet
At the beginning of the term Akela and her helpers decided that the cubs should be encouraged to plant an indigenous tree at the scout hall. The members of the pack duly brought along their contributions and managed to collect enough to purchase a 1m tall Bushwillow. Then on Friday 6th February they got ‘down and dirty’ and planted their Bushwillow together with another which had kindly been donated by the Rosa family. The cubs are hoping that this is going to inspire the scouts to do something similar. As one person commented “Just think in four years time we’ll be able to have a picnic under the shade of our trees.”

Welcome to our world of fun & adventure!
When you become a Scout, you enter a worldwide movement full of exciting adventures. You belong to a Patrol that wants you to go places and do things. Your Troop Scouters will guide and support you as you travel along the scout trail.During your time as a scout, you will learn how to live with nature, hike safely, camp in comfort, cook your meals over a camp stove or fire and discover many ways to care for the land. No matter what trying conditions you may face; you’ll know how to take care of yourself. You’ll develop strength, confidence, and good judgment. You will also learn how to be a good team member and later how it feels to be a leader. As a Scout you will also learn skills that will help you throughout your lifetime.
Scouting experiences will help you discover that you can make good things happen in your life by planning and setting your goals and then reaching for them. You’re in charge of your life and your experiences, and there’s no limit to what you can do – if you just put your mind to it.
Be prepared and go for it!
Good luck and good Scouting!
