Can you help?

Howrah Scouts is fundraising for new Hiking Backpacks. Joey Mob, Cub Pack and the Scout Troop all enjoy going for hikes on weekends, weeknights and while away at camp. So good equipment is important.

While we've raised an amazing $1632, we're still working to reach our $2000 target by 30 May 2026. So close! Can we reach it? It's a real nail biter.

How you can help:
♻️ Next time you're at your Recycle Rewards, use our barcode to donate
➡️ Share this post with family and friends and ask them to donate their recycle rewards to Howrah Scouts.

100% of donations will come to us.

Thank you

Happy Easter to all who celebrate. We hope you have a chance to connect with loved ones and maybe have some time exploring outdoors!

Today, we celebrate Easter Sunday, which marks the resurrection of Jesus Christ - a symbol of hope, renewal, and new beginnings.

While deeply meaningful for Christians, Easter is also a time for all of us to reflect on love, kindness, and the power of hope. Let’s share these values and continue making a positive impact in the world.

Wishing everyone a blessed Easter filled with peace and joy.

Great news for those who volunteer. Free WwVP cards benefit our Scout leadership and parent volunteers, reducing barriers to participation as valued members of our community!

Working with Vulnerable People cards are now free 🙌

It's about making it easier for Tasmania's 332,000 volunteers to keep doing what they love.

This two-year initiative is an important cost-of-living measure, reducing expenses for our volunteers.
