Centenary of Scouting – Sunrise Breakfast, Terrigal

Scouts Australia is proud to be celebrating the World Centenary of Scouting in 2007. To celebrate this special occasion all Scouts in New South Wales are being encouraged to attend Scouting Sunrise ceremonies to renew their Scout’s Promise. 28 million Scouts worldwide will be renewing their Scout’s promise in this fashion.

Avoca Beach Scouts, together with other scout groups from around our area, will jointly participate in a ceremony to be held at the Terrigal Skillion at sunrise on Sunday the 5th August; to celebrate the 100 years of scouting. This will be followed (weather permitting) by a BBQ breakfast below the Skillion in the Terrigal Haven.

As sunrise is at 6.45am we ask all past and present scouts (in uniform) to assemble at the Skillion at 6.30am. Please bring your pack, troop and patrol flags with you. Following the ceremony will be the BBQ breakfast for $2 per head. Please advise your leader if you will be attending so the breakfast can be catered for.

Avoca scouts, this is part of your Centenary 100 challenge, so if you can please be there. All Avoca members, past members, family and friends, this is a 1-in-100 year opportunity, so please make an effort to attend. Opportunity for participation by all !

Further details and a permission note can be found on our website in the Calendar tab at www.avocascouts.com

All current scout members from any group or location are invited and encouraged to attend, but also importantly all past members are welcome and what a great reunion it would make ! For any old scouts and guides, if you still have your old scarf, dust it off and wear it proudly !

I look forward to seeing you on Sunday morning, the 5th August, bright and early !

Yours in scouting,

Musca
