Great article in the SMH on parenting Scouts

This is written by one of the group’s very own parents – excellent writing Belinda!

Scout mums do dutiful best, too | smh.com.au

[...] The big question, of course, is just when are they going to put out a Scout mums’ field book, full of the useful stuff we parents need to know? Things such as ‘‘how to blow-dry a Scout record book’’, or ‘‘how to get a kid to keep his woggle somewhere he’ll find it again next week’’ (answer: ‘‘don’t bother. Go to the Scout shop and buy a gross’’).
In the meantime I reckon I’ve earned a few badges of my own. Here is a selection [...]

Annual General Meeting 2009

admin — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 08:49:11 +0000

This Thursday evening the group is holding our AGM. This is your best opportunity to meet more members of the group than any other.
As the Scouting movement is a volunteer organisation we to need all parents to pitch in at some time. This is your year to take a role in the ongoing activities of Port Neptune.
So come along, meet new people and see just what goes in to running a great scouting group.

So close to moving in!

After a working bee held this past Sunday, we are only waiting on official word that we can move our section meetings into the new Scout Hall.

For the meantime, starting tonight with Joeys and Cubs, Term 3 meetings will continue to be held in the Five Dock Hall.

Patience!

New Hall now at lock-up stage

The group is extremely excited to announce that our new Scout Hall has made it to the lock-up stage. This means that the internal building work is largely done, with only a few of the finishing touches to go.

Our youth members are very keen to move into the hall during third term of 2008, with the sections vying for the honour of the first shakedown meeting

New Hall’s frame going up

Good news everyone! The frame of the new scout hall is starting to be erected. Work seems to be proceeding well. We’ll endeavour to have more photos available as the construction continues.

End of Year BBQ 2007

Well well the end of year BBQ at Quarantine Reserve was a fantastic day – many thanks to all the organisers and helpers who made it great.

After the BBQ had been heartily tucked into, the youth sections all came together for a series of going up ceremonies. We had Joeys leaving their mob and moving up to join the Cub pack as well as some Cubs moving into the Scout troop. It was a fantastic opportunity for the youth members to look forward to (or reminisce about) the other sections.

Finally we managed to grab some a photo of the group on the day!

Our district, Iron Cove, came together for Founder’s Day 2007. A great day was had by all as we prepared a number of our Scouts for the World Jamboree celebrating 100 years of Scouting.
