🍔 VOLUNTEERS NEEDED – CAIRNS SHOW! 🍔

The Cairns Show is almost here, and we need your help to make our Freshwater Scout Group food stall a success!

We're looking for volunteers to help flip burgers, cook, serve customers and keep the stall running smoothly. We ask that volunteers commit to just one 4-hour shift during the Show.

We need to fill shifts from Friday 10th July to Saturday 18th July.
Please use the following form to register:

As a thank you, all volunteers will receive FREE entry to the Cairns Show! 🎡

Every shift helps raise vital funds that support our Scouts and the amazing adventures and opportunities they enjoy throughout the year.

🎨✨ Calling All Creative Legends! ✨🎨

The amazing Cubs at Freshwater Scouts are on a mission to earn their Art Badge this term and they need a local artist superstar to guide them!

Are you (or someone you know) a painter, sketcher, sculptor, printmaker, mixed-media magician or creative genius of any kind?

We’d LOVE you to join our Cubs for one Monday night this term for 1.5 hours of arty fun! 🖌️

🎨 You bring your talent & passion
🖍️ We supply all materials
🌟 The Cubs bring their curiosity, creativity and big imaginations

This is such a beautiful opportunity to inspire the next generation of creatives, share your skills, and maybe even spark a lifelong love of art.

If you’re keen (or can recommend someone local), please comment below or send us a message!

Let’s make some masterpieces 🎨
