Scout Hike 2026 was an absolute blast, teaching younger scouts how to light fires in the spirit of pirates. Few mishaps on the way but it was in the end a very successful weekend.

Despite no mudbash this June, it’s that time of the year for a car working bee. Working against unfavourable weather, we cleaned and fixed up Big Bird to get her ready for the racing season!

Only once in a blue moon does Star Wars day fall on our rover night. To celebrate our crew took part in painting our favourite Star Wars characters and talked everything about the galaxy far far away! ✨💫

John Gardiner Rover Unit and other sections from 1st Glen Iris Scout undertook a massive clean up of Gardiner's Creek (KooyongKoot) today! Thank you to everyone who came along and made our patch of Glen Iris a bit cleaner. Highlights/lowlights of our collection included:

🧳 Suitcase
🚲 Bicycle
🛴 Scooter
2 chairs
So many soft plastics

Remember to properly dispose of rubbish in the correct bin and avoid accumulating it in the first place (especially single-use plastics).
