Current:
We
must find new Leaders
Without leaders we
have no group. There should be three leaders in each section. Just to
have someone who would do paper work would be a great help. Collecting
form and money, also keeping record of attendance and ensuring badge
work is up to date
This is
a big commitment to take on but a rewarding one. Meeting new people and
learning new skills. If we had
more leaders the time commitment would not be as great, as you would
share the responsibility. Have a night off if you needed to.
To become a leader & adult
helper you need to
Fill
out the Scout M3A (includes Police Check through Branch) and M3B forms.
This may seem like a lot of paperwork but, once you read through it is
not that bad.
A
working with children card number
Two
referees, as part of the M3B
When you need to be available
As an
Adult helper you would need to be at the section nights and help
on other activities
As an
Assistant leader you would need to be available for section
nights. Assist in the programming with other leaders. Attend some
meetings with the group and district leaders. Attend activities

The Scouts have had a busy
term, full of activities:
Junior Avon Decent
We had two canoes in the JAD
this year both very successful (more details in the main article) Next
year we are aiming to enter more teams.
Nighthawk
This year Nighthawk was held
in Gingin. It was bitterly cold
and very windy, but we arrived in plenty of time to set up camp on the
oval.
We had just one patrol
participating, Bronwyn, Sam, Simone, Alex and Fraser. Simone had been
ill all week but went to school on Friday just so she could convince
her mum that she was fit for Nighthawk – now that’s dedication!
The patrol set off at 20.00
and successfully negotiated the course finishing around 04.30 for a few
hours sleep before heading off home.
They all did very well particularly in the frigid conditions
Group Camp
Group camp was held at lake Leschenaultia.
The Scouts camped out and the rest were in the warm and dry hall
cuddled up to the log fire! It
was a very successful and enjoyable camp with canoeing on the lake, a
hike and setting up tents in the dark.
The practice on the previous two troop nights paid
dividends! The record for striking
a 6 man tent and packing it correctly in the dark is 3 minutes 56
seconds! – well done Panthers.
Sailing
Still too early for the main
sailing to start but we have three sailing days planned – unfortunately
with Stork away overseas for much of the term, there was little chance
to sail. The boatshed has been revamped and all the boats now fit in.
Camp West
A brilliant Camp West has put
everyone’s mind towards Jamboree.
Camp west was an ideal opener, getting the participants fully
into a major camp lifestyle.
