Wet weather, muddy shoes and a warm campfire 🔥⛺🌧️

This weekend a small group of our Scouts headed to Barrima Scout Camp for a fun camping adventure. The Scouts helped tidy the campground, remove fallen branches and stack wood near the campfire area before enjoying a nice warm fire together after all their hard work.

Small group, big effort and lots of fun! 👏

🌏 What is Scouts (Scouting) in Australia?

Scouts is the section of Scouts Australia for young people aged 11–15 years, where adventure steps up and independence grows. It’s all about challenging yourself, building skills for life, and having fun along the way.

🔥 What do Scouts do?

* Camping, hiking, and outdoor expeditions
* Learning survival skills and bushcraft
* Leadership opportunities and teamwork
* Exploring navigation, pioneering, and problem-solving
* Community service and helping others

⚡ Why join Scouts?
Scouting helps young people to:

* Build confidence and resilience
* Develop leadership and decision-making skills
* Form strong friendships and work as a team
* Take on new challenges and push their limits

With the Scout motto “Be Prepared”, youth are encouraged to take initiative, be ready for anything, and make a positive impact in their community.

👣 Guided by dedicated volunteer leaders, Scouts provides a supportive environment where young people can grow into capable, confident individuals.

Ready for the next adventure? Scouts is waiting!
