🎉70 YEARS OF SCOUTING – 2nd Gymea Scout Group! Last weekend, 2nd Gymea Scouts celebrated an incredible 70 years of adventure, friendship and community!

The Scout Hall came alive with past and present members reconnecting, sharing stories and reminiscing. Memorabilia from past Scouting adventures provided a wonderful trip down memory lane.

We were delighted to welcome special guests Mark Speakman, Carmelo Pesce - Mayor Sutherland Shire Council, Port Hacking District Commissioner Bryan Davison and Kay Rae. Thank you also to former Scouts and leaders who attended, sharing their stories and inspired the next generation.

A special congratulations to Michelle Howard on an amazing 40 years of Scouting service! 👏

Seventy years of Scouting is something truly worth celebrating. Here’s to the people, adventures and memories that have shaped 2nd Gymea – and many more years to come!

AJ2028 Parent Information Session
Live on facebook
Thinking about AJ2028 for your young person? We’re going live to answer the questions parents and carers ask us most.

Join the AJ2028 team on Facebook for a live Q&A about the 27th Australian Jamboree, happening at Elmore, Victoria from December 29, 2027 to January 7, 2028. We’ll talk through what your Scout will actually do over ten days at the Jamboree, how they’ll go being away from home, what it costs, how to apply and what they’ll get out of it long after they’ve unpacked their tent.

Bring your questions and ask them in the comments. We’ll answer them live.

When: Tuesday November 17, 8pm AEDT
Where: Live on YouTube at bit.ly/AJ2028live

Can’t make it on the night? The session will be available on the page afterwards so you can watch when it suits.
