What assistance can you offer?

Hi everyone,

 

Now that things are settling down and most of my hats I have been wearing are coming down to one,  it is now time for me to focus on Group matters. One of the core things that I would like to find out from everyone is what resources we have within our family pool. By this I am looking to put together a list of tradesmen and other services that families within the group can provide from time to time.

 

Now I am not asking to donate your time every time we need help, as there are times when we have to pay for fixes or repairs. I am seeking from everyone what professional type services they can provide to the group. I am very keen to tap into an electrician, builder, gardening services etc. For paid work I would prefer to offer work to those within the group first before seeking outside assistance.

 

In the next three years I have a group plan that will see some changes around the den, assuming we can get the grants for them or can fundraise to cover these costs. As is always the case when you are trying to find the right person, you don't even know they exist under your nose. This came up when discussing the proposed shed design with a Scout Family member. 

 

Proposed changes in next twelve/eighteen months:

• Make over of the Scout Cupboard (similar to the Cub cupboard)
• Possible quote for a Kitchen makeover
• Potential work in the shed for shelving and cupboards for lock away storage or patrol meeting room. 
• Grounds garden project
• Seating around the Campfire area. 
• Lighting improvements around the den

This is just a few ideas that we need to resource and have guidance or professional assistance with.

 

If you are prepared to offer your services please let me know and I will add you to my contact list. I am also offering you a chance to advertise your business services too with a business card area for you all to tap into. A pin board will be set up for you to add your cards too in the next month. 

 

I look forward to hearing back on what is available to us.

 

 

 

Regards and yours in Scoutng,

Seeking Joey Scouts

The Beenleigh Scout Group is seeking your assistance in helping to promote the Joey Scout section to your family, friends, co-workers and schools. Our Joey Scout section needs an increase in membership, as the majority will move up to Cub Scouts by December, leaving that section with only a couple of Joey Scouts. Nobody like to see sad Joey faces :).

 

This section is the little known section and it runs from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm on a Tuesday, provides a great introduction to Scouting for all children 6 -7.5 years of age. They get to have a heap of fun, do lots of activities, enjoy a sleepover or two at other dens, and the work they do can earn them the Joey Scout Promise badge.

 

If you can assist in helping promote we have flyers at the den we can provide to hand out at schools. I am also keen talk with various school leaders to see if we can promote in the newsletters they distribute. 

 

We all know how great it is to be in Scouting so please spread the word and if you have people interested please have them contact me for more information. 

 

Regards and yours in Scouting

Scout Troop Regional Camp Success

Well to the Beenleigh Scout Patrol that won the overall Regional Camp award on the weekend. It has been so good to see the Scouts finally working hard and achieving success. Well done to all involved.

Also this patrol won three other minor awards and one other patrol won another. Have not seen the Scouts so excited in a long time.


Well done to everyone involved.

Now you know where we are!

The Scout Den now has Community directional signs on the corners of Tallangandra Rd and Beenleigh/Beaudesert Rd and Harburg Drv on Logan River Road.

This is the sign at Tallagandra Rd.

Love it when a plan comes together.

ANZAC Day March 2013

The Beenleigh Scout Group is always honoured to be apart of the ANZAC Day parade. This year there were 54 youth members and 10 leaders in  attendance and we all marched proudly.

The Scout section have added photos of the day.

Waiting Lists set up

As much as it is exciting to see so many new members wanting to sign up, it is regrettable at this time that the Cub Scouts and Scouts Sections now have to install a waiting list. If you are interested in enrolling your child in Scouting please email us and provide the following information:

• Name of child
• Date of birth
• Contact name
• Contact number
• Contact email address

We will contact you as soon a spot opens up.

If you have the desire to teach and entertain children and have a passion with working with children from 7 - 11 and 10 - 15 then you might want to consider about joining as a Leader. It would be fantastic to b able to establish a second Pack for Cub Scouts and Troop for Scouts. It is not great to have to turn keen children away.

If you are interested please email us to have the Group Leader - Stephen Hughes contact you in future.
