We had a great planning morning today for our much-anticipated 4th July Live Music Showcase! It’s been fantastic to see the dedication and leadership from our Scouts and Venturers coming through.

While I was there, I took the opportunity to capture a few drone shots of the property — these will help us map out what and where on the day.

A big shoutout to our Quartermaster, Krusty (Glenn), who does a fabulous job keeping the grounds neat and tidy — it really shows, especially from above!

And please don’t mind my drone videography skills… still on my P-plates and definitely in need of a bit more practice! 😄

We are super proud and excited to announce that Cardiff Scout Group will be hosting a Live Music Showcase on Saturday 4 July! 🎶

This is a 100% youth-led initiative by our Venturer Scout Unit, who have gone above and beyond to bring this event to life.
When their school’s end-of-semester Extravaganza was cancelled due to a devastating fire that impacted the music rooms and equipment, our in-house Cardiff Scout musos (AKA Static Embers) didn’t dwell on the disappointment — they looked for an opportunity.
Their idea? Use our Scout Hall to host an open day and create a space where young people can still showcase their talent, while also highlighting what Scouting is all about.
Because Scouting is more than just bushwalking — it’s about connection, finding your people, discovering your creative side, and being part of a community. 💛
This event hasn’t just come together by magic. The Venturers have put in a huge amount of effort planning and shaping the event, and have shown great flexibility along the way, adapting their ideas to work within requirements and feedback — a really important part of bringing something like this to life. We’re very pleased that Council has now approved the event to proceed.
A few important things to note:
🚗 Parking around Cardiff Scout Hall is limited, but Cardiff RSL has kindly offered overflow parking (approx. 500m walk). If you can, please support them while you’re there.
👥 Capacity is limited due to the size of our grounds — we’ll do our best to accommodate everyone safely.
🪑 Feel free to bring picnic rugs or chairs and settle in for the afternoon.
🌭 We’ll have a sausage sizzle and bake sale running as a fundraiser.
We’d love for you to come along and support our Venturers, as well as the talented young performers from our community.
It’s shaping up to be a fantastic afternoon of live music, creativity and community — and we can’t wait to see you there! 🎶

Another fun and action-packed night for Cardiff Joeys and Cubs tonight organised by our great Joey/Cub Scout Leader OO!!!

This week, our Joeys and Cubs explored the importance of the Buddy System, learning how teamwork helps keep everyone safe during scouting activities. A hands-on game made it both fun and memorable 👏

We also focused on fire safety, with some of our Joeys and Cubs confidently sharing what they’ve learned about staying safe, including key actions like “Stop, Drop and Roll.” Fantastic leadership skills on display!

The group then rotated through two activities:
🔥 Learning the basics of fire building, including trying flint and steel
🔥 Practising match lighting and preparing some creative treats to cook over the fire.

The Joey/Cub Scouts gained valuable practical skills and made great progress towards their Bushcraft Level 1 & 2 badges—all while having plenty of fun! (I don't think it will take much to twist their arm to have another campfire - my kind of people)

Last night, Cardiff Scouts & Venturers joined Lake Mac District Venturer Unit and North Lake Macquarie Rovers for a Tent Chase at Warners Bay - all youth led and organised, supported by the Leaders.

The challenge? Carry your tent and pitch it in the most creative and unexpected spot—and it sounds like there were plenty of clever choices!

There was a great turnout, and while the Leaders may have taken out the creativity title, everyone finished on a high (thanks to well-earned ice cream 🍦).

As always, the Cardiff crew loved catching up with our Lake Mac District friends—including 1st Belmont Scout Group NSW, Teralba, Warners Bay Scouts and North Lake Macquarie Rovers

More photos from the incredible Alpine Bushwalk organised by the amazing Hunter & Coastal Region Activities Team!
Both my hubby (Slush) and daughter came back sharing lots and lots of stories—so many wonderful memories made. I’m especially proud of my Chloe, who was the youngest participant in the group!
It was such an inclusive and supportive environment, with everyone’s abilities considered so that every person could take part and walk away with their own amazing experiences.
Safe to say, we’ll be adding Polblue to next year’s calendar—fingers crossed the Activities Team runs it again!

🌄 Alpine Adventure in Barrington Tops National Park! ❄️🥾

What an incredible weekend Cardiff Scout Group had joining the Hunter & Coastal Region Activities Team for an alpine bushwalk, starting at Polblue in Barrington Tops National Park!

Prior to commencing, bags were weighed and fears were unpacked and left behind... literally, lightening the load.

The group took on an amazing two-day journey—covering 8km on day one and 10km on day two, with a bit of bushbashing and navigation along the way to reaching the peaks of Mt Polblue and Brumlow Top.

At the end of the journey, the unpacked fears were replaced with confidence, courage, and a whole lot of smiles! 😄🌿

Check out the highlights in the video below 🎥👇
We’re already counting down to the next adventure - abseiling next weekend!

Join us for your next adventure.

Our Intro Bike Night showed just how excited our Scouts are to get moving! 🚴‍♂️

We also had the pleasure of welcoming two new Cubs to our Cardiff Group — always so great to see our group growing! 😊

A big thank you to our leaders Slush and OO for running a fantastic session, with Scouts making great progress on their Outdoor Adventure Skills Cycling badges.

Next term, we’re looking forward to a Bike Hike where everyone can put their new skills into action.

Up next is Campfire Night 🔥 — always a highlight!

A big thank you to Leader OO for organising another fantastic night! 🙌

Our Joey/Cub Scouts got hands-on with some sneaky pioneering, working together to build fort-like shelters in preparation for their much-anticipated Nerf Wars 🔫 It was great to see a truly youth-led activity come to life—this was one of the first ideas they suggested during our term planning session!

After a quick safety briefing, the Nerf darts were flying everywhere 😄 There was plenty of action (and laughter), with even Slush taking a hit and adding a bit of drama to the evening!

📅 Next week: Bring Your Bike or Scooter Night 🚲🛴
We’ll be doing a bit of planning and prep, looking at some of the Cycling Level 1 badge requirements.
