Maverick Night a hit

The Beenleigh Scout Group would like to thank all those that attended the second Maverick night. For some the effects were still being felt well into Sunday.

The Maverick Night is a chance to have a night of toy pony racing, play with funny money, buy horses as owners in auctions and to have fun around the few tables.

What starts of as a quiet night ends up in a lot of laughing, cheering and just plain good fun.

The money raised from the night will go to the Jamboree fund to assist in getting our Scouts.to Maryborough in January.

To all the businesses that supported the night through the donations for the prize table, thank you for the support. The gift table hand out at the end of the night did not seem to want to finish.

In the end a great night was had by all and be ready for early September 2013 for Maverick Night III.

In the end we are rewarded with the 'Best Community Entrant", this is the second year in a row that we have won this category.

Many thanks needs to go to those who have been collecting cans for the Den. We especially like to thank Bunyip as he and his wife Kim have been collecting cans from a local restaurant.

We have just cashed in the first amount, and have received $65 for the effort. As a result we are looking at obtaining a collection bin at the Den. Pleasesave you can - remember to crush them before you bring them in.

Clean Up Australia Day

Beenleigh Scout Group will be participating in the Clean Up Australia Day activities. This year it was decided to keep the clean up local.

There is a website set up for this activity, and if you decide you can register your interest, howevcer, we will still be following our standard Scouting practices for seeking permission to attend.

Our areas of clean up will be:

• James St - Hammell Park area, opposite the Beenleigh Showgrounds,
• Street and park area bordering Zander St, and
• length of George St, from the roundabout at Hammel St, through to the Main St roundabout.

The designated start point will be the park area opposite the court house in James St. This is lower traffic area than opposite the Showgrounds on a Sunday morning. We can then walk to the areas and begin the clean up.

Time is down from 9am utnil 12pm - unless completed earlier.
