 Murrenbong is deep in a bushland setting with a lake. Sounds serene. Then put a bunch of scouts in the mix and turn it around. The last group camp involved Archery, rock climbing, canoeing, high ropes, low ropes, hikes, campfire entertainment and oh well...you got the idea.27th to 29th November at Murrenbong...Where? Does it help if I say it is at Kurwongbah? Actually it is little over an hour from the Scout Den.
Friday night was setting up, and excited conversation. Activities were kept simple ready for the big day following. Teams were made for the Viking theme with four tribes - Vikings, Celts, Saxons and Danes. A hike to the Dam and the scouts find all the materials to build their rafts and the challenge was on. All teams had a ball as they took the plunge with a ready-built raft. Back to camp make some swords & armor ready for the nights activities, a few games and into the campfire entertainment. It was a hot day so there was no objection to going back to the dam for more swimming later. See the photo gallery for pictures of the event. |

Joey Scouts' theme is Caring and Sharing. They can earn a badge, have some fun and HOP (help other people). Joey's do much more than just have fun, make amazing craft, and have truly fantastic adventures. If your 6 to 7 year old wants to start on a path outside TV, video, electronic games and other artificial pacifiers - well contact us. Scouts is about more in life. |

All sections made contact with others around the world like Japan, Hawaii, Russia, New Zealand and many more. The Hawaii group were a real hoot and one instrument they played was the Ukulele. Many thanks to our JOTA team that brought their expertise and equipment for our benefit - Wayne Staples, Clem Skerman, John Firth, and Col Clark.
