5th Mildura Scout Group

Steve and I have decided to postpone this weekend's Patrol Activity Camp, primarily because of the wet weather and several Scouts are unwell (or on the verge of getting sick). This will allow those in Gang Show to attend this weekend's additional rehearsal. We will soon set a date for a Troop Council & Parent's Meeting to plan Term 3. We apologise for the late notice but we think it's in the best interests of all concerned.

Location of Activity :: Steve's Bend (Near Trentham Cliffs) Dates of Activiy: 27/06/09 to 28/06/09 Cost: $0.00 (Check that your patrol has got food organised. Transport Arrangements: Depart: Scout Hall, 2:00pm Saturday. Car Pooling Return: Pickup from Steve's Bend at 2:00pm Sunday. Scouts need to wear their scarves when travelling to and from the activity. Refer to the handout for the gear list. All gear must be clearly marked with the owner's name. No responsibility will be taken for any lost property. Each patrol has to cater for themselves, so check with your patrol leaders about catering. (Dinner and supper Saturday, breakfast and lunch on Sunday plus snacks).

Next week we are playing a wide game out at Steve's place. Meet out there before 7:30pm so we can begin at 7:30pm sharp! Wear warm clothes as it will be cold and good footwear. There will be a prize up for grabs, but you will need to defeat patrols from Dareton and Red Cliffs to claim it.

Winning Patrol 1. Eagles (won 9.7%) 2. Bandicoots (lost 7.7%) 3. Kangas (lost 14.4%) 4. Falcons (lost 16.5%) Individual Efforts 1. Mariah 2. Bryson 3. Kate 4. James Tonight's mock casino night was just for fun, but gamblig can be addictive and the consequences are serious. http://www.problemgambling.vic.gov.au/

Hello all, we are looking for a Roulette Wheel & Mat to borrow for next week at Scouts. If anyone knows of one that we could borrow can you please contact me. Thanks Steven Munro Scout Leader

Wonderland carpark, ready to start hike.

We have been to Reed's Lookout (inside a cloud). Back in the bus and off to The Pinnacle.

We are meeting at 7:30pm on Twelfth Street at the site of the old 2nd Mildura Scout Hall (now vacant land) between No.1 & No.2 Ovals (between San Mateo & Etiwanda Ave). We expect to be departing at 8:00pm. Last chance to check you have enough food, 2-3 litres of water bottle capacity, warm clothing, rain coat, plastic bags to keep things dry, etc, etc. Maybe some pocket money for lunch in Halls Gap on Monday, if you're not making it yourself. Have a good meal at before you leave home tonight as we will not be doing dinner. Watch this space. I will be posting random photos of the trip on this blog!
