Solar Panels for Scout Halls

Following on from the success of the 100 Year Water Tank Project, Scouts Australia is approaching the Federal Government to request funding for the installation of solar panels on every Scout Hall in Australia.

If Scouts Australia receives funding for the project to go ahead, it will be the first National Scout Organisation in the world to have Scout Halls and campsites that are self-sufficient in both water and energy.

More information is available on the Scouts Australia National website.

Ratskin... is basically Dragon Skin in reverse. Venturers set up and run interesting and challenging bases for Leaders, Rovers and other adults. The Venturers are responsible for every aspect of the weekend except how the adults camp, so the adults get to unwind and relax (after the Venturers have their way with them). It's also a static camp, bring the comfy bed.

This years theme is Pirates but please don't expect oceans of water, we are still a little drought affected out here.

Further details and entry details are available at the Ratskin web site.

SCA - Large Group Notification

The notification form should be sent at least four weeks before the proposed visit.

The NSW Scouting groups who use the SCA sites (in particular Bendeela) are aware that camping spaces, picnic tables and shelter sheds cannot be reserved. This notification form is for SCA planning purposes only – and it is not a booking or a reservation.

Scout Section Numbers

The census for May 2010 shows a reduction in youth numbers in the Scout section compared to the same time last year. Total membership at the end of May 2010 was 5,673 and at the same time last year was 5,723. This is a decrease of 50 Scouts or less than 1%.
