This year is the Centenary of scouts in Australia and the declared year of the scout.
Look where our flag is flying!
From New Year’s Day, the Scouts Australia flag is proudly flying from the western flag pole on top of the Harbour Bridge to mark 100 years of Australian Scouting.
To recognise the significance of this special Centenary year, NSW Premier Morris Lemma fully supported this initiative. The Australian Government has declared 2008 to be the ‘Year of the Scout’.
Grant De Fries, Chief Commissioner for Scouts Australia NSW, says that the opportunity to fly the Scout Flag from such an iconic location is a great way to start the many planned events throughout the year, such as the Australia Day Spectacular at Darling Harbour, and the 100 Good Turns Initiative.
“We have a lot to celebrate this year and our Centenary is a wonderful chance to share the benefits of Scouting with the young people and their families of NSW’, he said.
Get ready to share in the Centenary fun with a lot of great activities planned during the year. Now is a great time to be in or join scouts now. Come and join in the Centenary fun with 1st Avoca Beach Scouts now!
