5th Mildura Scout Group

Mildura Ski Club have given us the opportunity to make some cash! We have been offered the job of gate keeping and car parking. They will pay $1000 for our services. But it is Saturday & Sunday mornings. I need to know tonight, don't feel bad about saying no either. This is an adult job, but having the Scouts there would also be awesome exposure for Scouting! Let me know please. Steven Scout Leader UPDATE: We have decided not to do this fundraiser.

As part of the citizenship badge, and for general knowledge about our wonderful area, we are going to take a tour of the Chaffey Trail. We will be exploring the past, while having some fun along the way. There may be questions and there may be prizes! Parents and family are most welcome to join us! (We may actually need a few cars). Bring: Pen, Notepad, Green Book, maybe a camera. Wear: Full Uniform Start: 7:00pm at Hall. Tour leaving at 7:15pm sharp! Finish: 9:30pm (hopefully) at McDonalds, Deakin Avenue Reminder: Hot Cross Bun orders due back next week too!

Don't forget your life jacket (if you have one), wide brimmed hat, fully enclosed shoes (old sand shoes which won't come off) not 'Crocs' or sandals, water bottle and a portable lunch for Saturday. Looking at the weather forecast, it shouldn't be a total fire ban , so cooking should be allowed, but remember to have a backup plan! It looks like we might get some rain over the weekend and the nights may be cold. Make sure your tent is waterproof, you have a spray jacket, and something warm to wear in the evenings. See you at the hall before 6pm on Friday. We are hoping to be leaving the hall at 6pm. We will then be heading out to Bunnings carpark where we will meet up with Steve and his big trailer. We will then head out to Buxton's Bend together.

We hope you are all selling tickets! We need the books and money back by next week. Even if you have not sold the entire book, you need to return them. Remember, NEXT WEEK!

Now is the time to start planning your meals for the camp next weekend. Remember you must have a pre-made, non-cooking, cut lunch for Saturday. If there is a declaration of total fire ban next weekend, there will be no cooking permitted on camp. Check the CFA website for total fire ban advice for the North Western District. If not a total fire ban, there will be fire restrictions in place. Check the CFA website for fire restriction information for the North Western District. Click here to find out what is and what is not allowable on days of fire restriction and days of total fire ban.
