5th Mildura Scout Group

Due to extreme weather we have decided to cancel the Sausage sizzle at Got One.  Thanks to all those parents who have helped and I look forward to your continued support during 2014. We have made a start with our fundraising! More details in the new year about other fundraising things coming up. 

On behalf of the 5th Mildura Group Committee, I would like to take the opportunity to to wish you a Merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Year. Thanks is extended to every one of you for your time, dedication and resources, which you have generously given to the group over 2013. Whether it is transporting kids, helping on camps, attending Committee meetings or cooking a BBQ, it all  assists in making our group the wonderful one that it is, and helps make the experience that much richer for all of our youth members. We look forward to seeing you all in 2014!!! Kindest regard, Caitlin Holmes (Secretary)

Scouts also need to bring a nice plate of supper to share.  Parents and families are asked to stay for the presentation . This is a big night and is especially great for parents of younger scouts to see what their child can be working towards achieving during their time in scouts and encourage them to do so.

Drive over theGeorge Chaffey Bridge towards Buronga. Turn Right at the round‐a‐bout towards GolGol and Euston Continue through Buronga and then through GolGol. The turn off to the entrance of the property is about 5.3km from the GolGol Hotel on the Right Hand Side. Go through the gate, don’t worry about shutting the gate. Head down the road through the centre of the property. This road will go down a hill and will follow around. Camping is allowed anywhere. Old Rover Camp Totem pole is the main flag area. Camp fire must be kept neat and under control at all times **Note: The road is solid and rocky, and is an all‐weather road. It is rough but all vehicles should have no problems.

PARENTS: WE HAVE BEEN FORWARDED THIS REQUEST. IF YOU AVAILABLE TO ASSIST PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP. MANY HANDS MAKE LIGHT WORK AND IT SEEMS A VERY "5TH MILDURA" THING TO DO :) AND AND ALL HELP IS APPRECIATED!!!!!!! Hi Caitlin, I've just had the offer of a little fund raising idea, that would perhaps take about an hour to do, depending on how many helpers we could get? The Christie Centre have a Spring Ball every year and it is next Friday night Sept 6th. What is required is a cleaning crew to clean up the following morning at the Sacred Heart Hall. There will be 160 chairs to stack and roll away, 16 tables to also fold and roll away and the hall floor to sweep. (I don't think it needs to be mopped). There may also be a few boards and props that need to be packed onto a trailer and left for Christie Centre staff to deal with. Possibly some posters to take off walls and throw out. If we can get some parents to help out, an do the cleaning, I'm happy to be there a

In order for Scout parents to attend tonights meeting, we will hold it down at Apex Park Apex RiverBeach Holiday Park 435 Cureton Avenue Mildura VIC 3502 (03) 5023 6879
