🌟Weekly Round Up–Term 2 WK 8 2026🌟

🦘Joeys made their own creations from clay this week. Under the guidance of guest art teacher Salty, the Joeys also learnt how to add finer details like eyes, limbs/fins, skin markings to give their creation its own personality!

🧭 Our cubs and scouts participated in
Flamboree this week, and enjoyed some campfire cooking. S’mores were on the menu again and enjoyed by all. They tried making a fruit crumble also, but unfortunately it didn’t go to plan 😬

💟 It was however a great learning opportunity for the youth, and during the end of night review we were able to discuss improvements and changes for next time.

🌟 Term 2 - Week 6 2026 🌟

🐢Maggie Muurmans, an award winning turtle conservationist visited Burleigh Heads Scout Group for World Turtle Day. Both the Joey and Cub section joined together and learned all about turtles, including how to identify different types and tips for measuring turtles.

🌊We also learned about the non-profit organisation started by Maggie called Ocean Connect. They provide educational programs, citizen science activities and community events that connect the community to the marine environment.

🪢 Scouts and Cub PLs/APLs met this week to practice knots and lashings. They assembled camp gadgets, had an impromptu limbo competition, created a gateway with a rope curtain and played a blindfolded communication game.

⛺On the weekend, Cubs and Scouts had a two night camp at our den Burleigh Heads Scout Group. Some of the activities included our youth erecting and packing away their tents, helping prepare and cook meals, practising and learning OAS skills, exploring the Burleigh rock pools and surrounds, and completing a 10km walk through the Burleigh headland and out to Tallebudgera beach! We were treated to some quality entertainment around the campfire too, with cubs performing skits and everyone sharing some jokes 😂

🦘 Our Joey section participated in the Joey Scout Step Out Challenge on Sunday. They were given a set of instructions and a map, then had to find their way around the Gold Coast. There was a lot of walking, tapping on and off trams, exploring and discovering all sorts of interesting things and places all around the Gold Coast including GCUH, Southport and Macintosh Island! 🏝️

Our Joeys joined other groups from the Scouts Gold Coast - Lamington District for World Bee Day at Ashmore Scout Group 🐝 A huge thank you to DC Baloo for organising another fantastic night — the Joeys had an absolute blast!

The Cubs and Scouts put their teamwork and communication skills to the test with a LEGO challenge, trying to create matching builds using only verbal instructions 🗣️🧱 We also raced against the clock in a tower-building relay and designed cars with changing rules before sending them down the ramp to see whose travelled the furthest 🚗💨
