Avoca scouts we are having our major fundraiser tomorrow (Saturday 18th) and supporting the local community at the Kincumber Spring Festival. We will have a stand and BBQ being setup from 8am and operating all day from 9am-3pm. Scouts and parents, please support us, so we can support you! Fundraisers buy needed equipment, provide training for the youth members and adults, promote scouting and engender community spirit in our youth members. So please come down, see the festival, visit us, get involved, help out, send your friends and family along and buy a sausage or two!
Please wear your uniform neatly and fully if you can, so we function and appear as both a cohesive scout and organised youth group. Your assistance during or at any part of the day would certainly be appreciated. Have fun and be proud!

Koolang Observatory visit
For the Koolang observatory night this Saturday evening, 4th September, here are some more details below.
The A1 form is on our website in the calendar section also, it has all the details you need.
I understand this night goes ahead rain, hail or (moon) shine!
They do have other activities (observatory tour etc.) for cloudy nights.
The weather is expecting rain, but clearing Saturday night into Sunday, don’t panic, let’s just hope it clears early for us!
Astronomically if it does clear for Saturday evening then that would be the best circumstance as the rain pulls the dust out of the sky and the best nights of transparency and the darkest skies are always immediately following rain.
Family and friends welcome, if any of you scouts wish to bring a mate along you are more than welcome!
If you have not paid already then pay on the Saturday night at the observatory.
The observatory is located at: RMB 266B George Downs Drive, Bucketty, NSW.
I presume you have arranged transport/car pooling, if not and you need transport then please let me know ASAP as our district scout leader John Bradley who is also attending will have some seats available.
The details from the A1 form are:
Prices to visit Koolang are
$10 for children up to year 12
$15 for Adults
Pre-school children pay $10 if they use the telescope
Everyone is welcome to visit including parents and siblings
Please be at Koolang by 7.45 PM so we are ready to enter the Observatory at 8.00PM
The show starts at 8.30 PM and will conclude at 10.30 PM
Please note that it will take about 1 hour and 15 mins to drive to Koolang Observatory from Avoca
All scout members to wear full uniform and bring warm clothing for any outside activities at night
Directions to Koolang Observatory:
From the Central Coast - take the Peats Ridge exit off the Sydney-Newcastle Expressway at the Somersby Interchange (between Kariong and Ourimbah).
Follow the old Pacific Highway for 10 kms to Peats Ridge. Turn right onto George Downes Drive. 32 kms later you will arrive at Koolang Observatory. By car, it will take about 45 minutes to get from the Interchange to the Observatory.
See you there,

Avoca scouts excel at the recent state rally!
For an absolutely mighty effort, for scouts who have never been to a state rally before and in fact Avoca has not been for years, overall out of 756 scouts and 150 patrols, you guys placed 17th in the state, sixth in the region and 1st in Gosford district. Absolutely remarkable guys! Salvatore, you were also the equal 17th patrol leader in the state, equal to one of those PLs from 1st Caringbah, who ultimately did take out 1st, 2nd and 3rd position.
So with experience and some hindsight, imagine what you younger guys could do next time!
I am incredibly proud of you all, you did so well.
For a complete list of the state results they can be found on the web here: http://www.patroltent.com/rallysite/patrols2010.html
You can click on the top of the columns to change the sort order and determine rankings etc.
Bask in your glory!
