What an incredible weekend for our Scouts and Venturers!

We are so proud of our Scouts who took out the win at Weekend Wide Game 2026! Their teamwork, determination, resilience and Scout spirit were on full display throughout the event, and they should be incredibly proud of what they achieved.

To make the weekend even more special, our Group Leader was finally presented with her Wood Beads. This is a significant milestone that recognises the time, dedication and commitment she has given to Scouting and to the young people in our community.

Congratulations to all of our Scouts, leaders who helped make this achievement possible. We couldn’t be prouder of our Scouting family and everything they continue to accomplish.

Well done everyone!

Monday was a very busy night for our Scouts and Venturers! 🏕️🎭🔥

The night involved lightweight packing theory and practice, patrol planning, and costume preparation for the upcoming Weekend Wide Game. Everyone worked together getting organised and ready for a huge weekend ahead.

Of course, there was still time for some fun, with games of Souths and Marshmallow Cricket keeping everyone entertained and laughing! 🍡🏏

Great teamwork, planning, and plenty of Scout spirit on display. We can’t wait to see all the photos and hear the stories from the weekend ahead! 📸⛺

Bring a Friend Night for Joeys & Cubs… and what a night it was! 🎉 20 Friends!

A huge thank you to everyone who came along — the night was a massive success!. Like true Scouts, we had to pivot at the last minute thanks to the weather, and our planned outdoor activities quickly became a fun-filled indoor adventure instead. 🌧️➡️🏕️

Tonight the Joeys and Cubs played Apples, put up tents, coloured in compasses, and the friends learnt their first knot, and even had a go at making a sling after mastering the Reef Knot. 👏🪢

It was fantastic to see so many new faces joining in, learning new skills, and having fun together.

Thank you again to everyone who came along — we hope to see you back again next week! 🙂

Joeys & Cubs Pet Night 🐾🐶🐱🐮

What a night! Our Joeys and Cubs had a fantastic evening learning all about caring for animals through the seasons, thanks to Tim from Monaro Veterinary Clinic.

Tim shared loads of interesting information about looking after all kinds of animals in winter and summer — from cows and sheep to dogs, cats and more! The kids even got hands-on and had a go at “desexing” a teddy bear 🧸😂 to finding the animals heartbeat with a stethoscope. There were plenty of laughs and a lot of fun had by all.

Afterwards, each Joey and Cub gave a short presentation about their own pets. It was wonderful to see every child get up in front of their peers and give public speaking a go with confidence and courage.

As part of the night, the Joeys and Cubs also collected and donated blankets for the Cooma Pound through a community donation drive to help keep local animals warm this winter ❄️🐾

The group meet with Mayor Chris and local rangers to officially hand over the blanket donations and learn more about the important work they do within our community.

Bravo, young ones 👏

A huge thank you again to Tim for giving up his time to support our youth members and make the night so engaging and memorable and for being such a good sport.
