Construction at the Munro House

This week (Wed 8^th) we are going to come out to my house in Trentham Cliffs.
I was going to bring all the poles & ropes to the hall, but thought maybe just get the Scouts to come to me!

Also we need to look at packing for Rover Camp

My place is:
6673 Sturt Highway, Trentham Cliffs

Basically head out of Gol Gol, about 4km on the River side (right side) just before the Truckstop

Term 4 Scout Program

Hello all

Here is the Term 4, 2017 Program
Now as usual we will try to stick to the program, but sometimes changes happen, so keep an eye on your emails, facebook, the website and SMS.

Also don’t forget sign in/out books & the green books for the Scouts.
It has been great to see people parking on William St, this just saves car park issues with kids & cars
And uniforms only need to be worn as indicated on the Program, but scarves every week please.

 

Cheers

Scout Hike

Sunraysia District Scout Hike 2017 - 28th - 30th July

The District Hike is less than A WEEK away, we need to get those not on CareMonkey signed up and their profiles completed.

Friday 28th July at 7:00pm (Drop off on Yelta Rd, 29km past Meridian Road) to Sunday 30th June at 1pm (Pick up: Deadman's Track, 15km down Yelta Road). We shall meet at our hall on Friday night at 6:30pmpm and head out together in cars.

Scouts will be self-catering so need to plan their menu and bring all required food. Water will be available to fill up drink bottles. Cooking equipment and tents can be shared with friends .Bring warm sleeping gear as it may be VERY cold. Bring an extra blanket!

For more information call Steven on 0499 777 692 or check out our Facebook group for the ongoing discussion about everything Alcheringa.

New Scouts and Scout with less than 12 months experience: Hike with a day pack. (Clothes, lunch, snacks and water). Cooking equipment, bedding, food, and tent does not need to be carried.

Older and more experienced Scouts:

Hike with full pack. (Clothes, food and water, cooking equipment, bedding and tent. Sharing of tent components, cooking equipment, etc. would be a good idea. (Refer to maximum pack weight on the Camping and Hiking Information sheets).

Water and gear not carried by Scouts will be carried by support vehicles. Water bottle refills will be available during the day.

I recommend, unless the Scout has a very good, light weight, hike sleeping bag -5C), additional blankets should be carried by the support vehicle. The support vehicle will deliver the extra blankets and camping gear (for younger Scouts) to the Saturday night camp, then again to the Sunday finishing point
