Scouts this Thursday - 26th November 2009

Avoca scouts,

In the past few weeks we have gone from hiking/camping overnight through the bush, to community service and now this week onto the environment! Whew that’s a lot in two weeks!

So this Thursday night to solve the question about what happens to all that stuff that goes into your yellow/green recycle bin, we are about to find out!

We have a special presentation at scouts on Thursday from the Thiess contractors about recycling on the Central Coast.

Now if possible, please, we need to be on time to start as close to 7pm as possible, as the presenters need to get started as soon as possible after that time. So, please be on time….

We also will have a scouts visiting from Bensville for the recycling, but once that finishes, it could make for a very interesting game of capture the flag (err, cats, Avoca style…).

For our visitors both from Thiess and Bensville, let’s please show them Avoca scouts are great hosts and that we really are scouts, so please wear your full uniform, including scarves, cords (show ‘em off!), sew on your badges and all other correct scout accoutrements…

Also we do have a presentation and special investiture (need that fire again…) to welcome another new scout to our troop, so again full uniform for that please, and it’s great to see we’re growing again, two new scouts in as many weeks, that’s fantastic! Please, let’s get more, invite your friends, scouting is only fun with lots of your mates!

Remember also toys for the Christmas boxes please and term fee payments are now due.

See you Thursday, another not to be missed night!

Scouts Go Totally Wild!

Scouts from South Australia's Mt Lofty Scout Group will appear
nationally in each episode of Totally Wild next week from 24-27 November
at 7:30 am on Channel Ten.

Every story in each episode will be 'introduced' by Scouts in uniform
which is a total of 18 introductions over the course of the week.
Each link is about 50 seconds - even though the Totally Wild! stories
are on other topics, the Scout introductions are there to each give
each episode a real "SCOUT" flavour.

The TV audience for the week is estimated to be 2.8m persons all in our
target demographic. The shows are also shown throughout SE Asia, NZ,
India and the Pacific.

Each episode will refer to a 'fun day at camp', including stories on
camping, camp cooking including the infamous kick the can ice cream
making, 'billy carting', fishing, Challenge Hill and more. The Scouts,
Cubs, Leaders and Parents involved have worked very hard, and if you do
see an episode(s) (that early in the morning!) - we hope that you will
agree that they have represented 'Scouting' with great pride and
enthusiasm.

Scouts, don't forget to watch it!

Musca.
