Many of our Victor Scouts earned these badges on Sunday March 4. The scouts picked up rubbish while completing a 12km pioneer hike along Bulimba Creek. Great multitasking Scouts!

This was followed by a sausage sizzle, drinks, and cake and lamingtons as well as Nilanjani being invested into scouts. Only Victor Scouts could fit so much in to one day – and a hot one at that!

A huge thank you to Echidna, Hawkeye, Platypus, Wirake and Sugeema for organising and helping and to Garth, Kane, Pip, Chantal, Susie, Rohith, Livi’s grandfather, Heather, Michael and all transporting parents for helping with transport, walking, cooking, photo taking and providing food and drinks. Bravo all.

Our next working bee is coming up on Sunday 18 March and we need your help to keep the den looking good! We have a few tasks that need to be done to improve the appearance, usability and safety of the den.

WHERE? Victor Scout Den

WHEN? Sunday 18 March (10am to 12pm)

WHAT TO BRING: Any tools, wheelbarrows and shovels, gardening gloves, hose & pressure cleaner, a ladder would be useful too.

ALL WELCOME! No particular expertise necessary. If you don’t have tools, just bring yourselves and your gloves!

Any time you can spare will be greatly appreciated.

Once again Victor Scouts ran games and activities at the Family Fun Day held on Australia Day by Joe Kelly MP Member for Greenslopes. It was lots of fun with marshmallow catapaults, boot tossing, mintie wrapper tearing and tug of war among other games.

Thank you to Hawkeye, Echidna, Platypus and Sugeema for running the games and organising. The scouts who helped to run the games had lots of fun while earning Community Service hours.

It’s cub pack council night is the beginning of term opportunity for the cubs to plan what they want to do. All of the sixes’ came up with some great ideas….though we are not sure about boa constrictor snake handling night.

Friday night was another special awards presention evening. We welcomed the Cub Leaders to present four Grey Wolf awards to ex-cubs who are now in the Scout Section. We bravely entered the jungle to see Elena, Kate, Riley and Tom receive the awards they worked hard to achieve. Bravo to you all for achieving the highest award in Cub Scouts. 

July 21 was a very special night for Victor Scouts. It’s not every day a new Scout leader is invested. It’s not every day 4 new scouts are invested. And it’s very unusual indeed to have 4 blue cords presented. So when it all happens in one night on top of the Kangaroo Point cliffs with a beautiful backdrop of Brisbane at night, it’s a very special night. What a memorable occasion – congratulations to Sugeema, Seraphina, Kate, Ben, Tiernan, Laura, Ellie, Livi and Tash.
