What a lovely morning for a walk! Emma from Kirwan Scout Group planned a wonderful Adventurous journey recently from Cranbrook Park to Sherriff Park, following the beautiful Ross River.

Along the trail, we stopped to visit the turtles – although the ducks were nowhere to be seen this time! We spotted lorikeets, plovers and several other bird species, and even heard a kookaburra calling in the distance.

But the highlight of the morning was definitely spotting a freshwater crocodile! You can just see him in one of the photos if you look closely! 👀

BRAVO, Emma! Thank you for planning such a fantastic morning and sharing the adventure with your Joey Scout friends. We had a wonderful time exploring, chatting and enjoying nature together.

📸 Photos: Thanks to Steven and Kerrie for capturing some great moments.

The Florence Bay Rovers did not miss out on having some fun at Region Camp. Whilst running the program for Venturers on Saturday a few of them had a battle as well. Looks like our Rovers were up for the Challenge!

Many thanks to all the Groups and Region for providing the opportunity to go back in time.

Scouts from Kennedy Region also headed offsite for their Saturday activities at the Region Camp. With a short walk to and from the Bluewater Guide campsite, they participated in a low ropes course, obstacle course and the flying fox as well as trying disc golf. Adventure and fun overload!
Thank you to Flinders Region Girl Guides - Townsville for a wonderful experience.

Last week, Cobalt, a Venturer Scout from 1st Picnic Point Scout Group, Scouts NSW, had the privilege of representing his local electorate of Banks at National Youth Parliament 2026 in Canberra.

Joining 150 high school students from every federal electorate across Australia, Cobalt took part in a five-day program featuring simulated parliamentary debates, workshops with parliamentary leaders and real-world policy challenges.

The experience provided a valuable opportunity to strengthen his leadership skills, deepen his understanding of government and policymaking, and proudly represent the voices of young people in our community.

A special highlight of the week was meeting Her Excellency Sam Mostyn AC, Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia and Chief Scout of Australia, both at Parliament House and Government House.

We’re incredibly proud of Cobalt for representing Scouts Australia and our local community with leadership, enthusiasm and a commitment to making a difference.
