🚀 Wednesday Cubs Blast Off! 🌟

Over the weekend, our Wednesday Cubs enjoyed a space-themed Den sleepover packed with STEM, teamwork and adventure!

Our young astronauts tackled an astronaut training course, explored the Solar System, made planispheres, designed and launched bottle rockets, and took on an Apollo 13-inspired rescue mission. 🌙🪐

The Cubs also launched their own STEM & Innovation Special Interest Area projects, giving them the chance to keep investigating, creating and experimenting at home.

A huge thank you to our amazing Leaders and parent helpers for making the weekend possible and helping our Cubs complete their mission! 🚀

🍽️ The Smokey Spoon 🍽️

For one special night each year, the Bracken Ridge Scout Den is transformed into one of Brisbane’s finest dining establishments, the Smokey Spoon!

Complete with mood lighting, French-inspired menus, live entertainment, attentive waiter service and delicious food, it was a dining experience to remember.

Our amazing Thursday Scouts (ages 11-14) planned and served a three-course meal for their families, keeping everyone well fed and entertained throughout the evening.

A huge thank you to our dedicated Leaders for supporting the Scouts and helping bring the Smokey Spoon to life.

🔥 Backyard Bonanza 2026! 🔥

On Sunday, Bracken Ridge Scouts were once again privileged to be part of Backyard Bonanza (BYB), the biggest community event of the year in Bracken Ridge!

Our traditional campfire display was back, with our Scouts putting their outdoor skills to work cooking fresh scones over the fire to share with the community.

Our Venturers and Rovers also lent a hand supporting Hummingbird House, helping raise funds for the incredibly important work they do for Queensland children and families.

Behind the scenes, our members were also busy supporting our amazing neighbours and friends from across McPherson Park, the Bracken Ridge Lions Club, who put an enormous amount of work into coordinating Backyard Bonanza each year.

A huge thank you to our Group Patron, Cr Sandy Landers, Brisbane City Council, the Lions and all of the wonderful sponsors and volunteers who help make this fantastic event accessible and affordable for our local community.

CUB CAMP

Over the weekend, our Tuesday Cub Scouts (ages 8–10) enjoyed a fantastic camp at Tyamolum Scout Campsite.

The Cubs packed plenty of adventure into the weekend, including bushwalking, games, a campfire and some delicious fire cooking. Lunch was a classic sausage sizzle, followed by ice cream cone s’mores cooked over the fire!

Camps like these are a great opportunity for our Cubs to build confidence, independence and friendships while having plenty of fun outdoors.

A BIG thank you to all our Leaders and parents who gave their time and helped make the weekend possible. Our adventures simply couldn’t happen without our wonderful volunteers.

Tuesday Cubs currently have some vacancies, please email [email protected] for more information or visit brscouts.com

Last night we presented Thursday Scout Cooper with the Australian Scout Award, the highest achievement in the Scout Section (ages 11-14).

Over three years, Cooper has worked hard, earning badges in Bushcraft, Bushwalking, Camping, Leadership and First Aid, plus six Special Interest Area projects in woodwork, sport and performing arts.

For his Adventurous Journey, he led a three-day hike on the Gold Coast Hinterland Great Walk and supported Scouts on two cycling journeys along the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail.

Cooper has also taken part in Brisbane Gang Show and Agoonoree, served as a Patrol Leader, and contributed greatly to our Scout Group.

The Australian Scout Award reflects not just achievement, but growth. Cooper is a true Scout in every way,leading by example, supporting others, and always doing the right thing.

We are very proud of Cooper and excited for his future in Scouting.

Congratulations, Cooper! BRAVO! 👏👏👏
