Scouts have regrouped

Diane Bellette, our local Scouts coordinator is pleased to announce Carey Bay Scout Group now has two Scout leaders. We can now welcome Scouts into our group. Girls and boys 11 to 14 years old. Scouts provide young people with the opportunity to take part in a range of activities that teach important life skills. Scouts learn essential outdoor safety skills as well as participate in a variety of physical and intellectual challenges. Epic bushwalks and camping expeditions, getting out on the water in a kayak, canoe or sailboat or even going up in a plane are just some of the adventures Scouts get up to!

Our Cub section also has room for girls and boys 8 to 11 years old. Cubs focus on exploring the outdoors & living an active lifestyle in a safe and friendly environment. They are introduced to traditional Scouting skills such as tying knots and take part in outdoor adventures such as camping, rock climbing, abseiling, bushwalking, sailing, gliding and flying, canoeing, and billy-karting!

Joey Scouts is for boys and girls aged 5 - 8. The focus is on fun and friendship, and provides a gentle introduction to a world of challenges and adventures through Scouting. Joeys are encouraged to express themselves creatively, through games, stories and craft activities. From building monsters and spaceships from scrap items, to growing plants from seedlings and science experiments all Joeys develop a strong sense of belonging and an understanding of the world around them. Joeys learn how to socialise with other children and help other people.

Toronto Scouts Donation Drive

When the Toronto Scouts reopened 12 months ago they soon realised that a lot of their gear was either mouldy or so old it had to be thrown out. In addition, during the 5 years the group was closed many people had keys to the hall & lots of stuff went missing.

So the Scouts are on a mission to raise funds to start replacing the gear they need.

The Scout group has been actively fundraising and would like to thank the community for the support so far. A special thanks goes out to Mark & Leanne Shields from Shields Auto. They have donated kayaks & life jackets plus tables & are sponsoring the first order of our group shirts.

The next fundraising target is to buy tents for the troop. It’s hard to imagine a scout without a tent.

To make a donations contact Diane by email: Diane.Bellette@nsw.scouts.com.au or their facebook page
