🥾 An Adventurous Journey in our Cub Section! 🥾

We had a great group of Leaders and Cubs complete an 8km, 4-hour hike today for an Adventurous Journey out at Coombabah Lakelands!

These keen walkers spotted a tonne of kangaroos, wallabies and koalas as they made their way through the beautiful bushland, enjoying plenty of wildlife and scenery along the way. 🦘🐨🌿

It was a fantastic effort from everyone involved, with our Cubs showing great teamwork, determination and enthusiasm throughout the journey.

A huge well done to our Cub Scout Conner, who planned and led today’s Adventurous Journey, and thank you to all of the Cubs and Leaders who came along to support him and make the day such a success!

Another great adventure ticked off at Nerang Scout Group! Keep your eyes peeled for our next one! 🌳🏕️

🐺 A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR AMAZING CUB SCOUT JAKE GRIBBLE ON EARNING HIS GREY WOLF AWARD! 🐺

Tonight was a very special night at Nerang Scout Group as Jake “Wobbegong” Gribble was presented with his Grey Wolf Award and Badge. 🏆

The Grey Wolf Award is the highest award a Cub Scout can achieve in the Cub section, and tonight was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate just how much Jake has accomplished throughout his Cub Scout journey to get there.

From camps and bushwalks to adventurous journeys, badge work, new skills and plenty of challenges along the way, Jake has embraced everything Cub Scouts has had to offer.

He has shown determination, perseverance and a willingness to keep having a go — and tonight all of that hard work was celebrated.

We are incredibly proud of you, Jake. Congratulations!❤️

Your Cub Scout adventure may be coming to an end very soon, but there are plenty more adventures and friends waiting for you in Scouting. 🏕️

A massive thankyou to all leaders, youth members and parents who attended tonight and a massive thankyou to Kylie from Ellis in Wonderland Cake & Candy Creations for Jake’s amazing Peak Award cake 🍰

Region Activity Day (RAD) @ Toohey Forest 🌲

The Joeys and Cubs had a wonderful day bush walking today. They found 5 out of the 8 bush wrecked cars. (Only due to parts of the track being closed for hazard reduction burning).

They walked a total of 10km today in around 6 hours. They all took turns leading the group by using a map that was given to us by our Region Leaders.

They also got to see lots of the local wildlife including lots of different species of birds and a cute baby BooBook Owl named “Billy”!

It was an amazing day out and we are super proud of each and every one of the youth members, adult helpers and awesome leaders (Dingo & Goanna) who attended today! 💙

Thankyou to Bagheera, Waratah and Cassowary from our Region Team for organising and overseeing such a wonderful day out for us 🥰

Tonight our adventurous Nerang Cub Scouts had an incredible opportunity to visit our local Fire and Rescue Station, where they got a firsthand look at the amazing work our firefighters do to help keep our community safe. 🚒🔥

The Cubs explored the station, learned about fire safety, emergency response, rescue equipment and the important role firefighters play during emergencies and natural disasters. One of the highlights of the evening was getting up close to the fire trucks, equipment and getting to hold and spray the actual fire hoses! The excitement, curiosity and endless questions from the Cubs made for such a fun and memorable experience!

A huge and heartfelt thank you to the wonderful team at our local Fire and Rescue Station for so generously giving up their time to host us. Your patience, enthusiasm and willingness to share your knowledge made the night incredibly special for our youth members. Experiences like this help inspire confidence, community spirit and respect for the everyday heroes who serve our communities.

We truly appreciate your hospitality and all that you do. 🚒❤️ Thankyou Nerang Fire Station!

ANZAC Day 2026 🥀

Always a non negotiable for us as a scout group to attend the local Dawn Service, paying our respects and quietly reflecting on the importance and magnitude of this day, it’s traditions and to pass on all of that to our children and youth members - the future generations of Australia 🇦🇺.

We are so proud of our section representatives, who proudly and respectfully represented Nerang Scout Group today laying our wreath of Australian wattle, eucalyptus and natives at the ANZAC Memorial at the front of the Nerang RSL (Imogen Tuskin, Ivy-Jane Toon, Gus Henwood and Jake Gribble).

Today, on the 111th Anniversary of the Gallipoli landing, we think of the ANZAC’s, we think of their sacrifices and bravery and we appreciate and acknowledge the service, dedication and strength of all the Service/Military men and women both past AND present!

LEST WE FORGET! 🌹

Thank you to the Gambling Community Benefit Fund.

The Nerang Scout Group sincerely thanks the GCBF for their generous grant of $8,308.00.
This funding has allowed us to purchase a new group trailer, upgrade and expand our camping equipment, and ensure our communication and tracking systems are current and reliable. As a result, our youth members can safely participate in a wider range of activities, and multiple sections are now able to attend different camps and events simultaneously—without relying on leaders’ personal equipment. These improvements have greatly strengthened our ability to deliver quality Scouting programs and support the growth, safety, and adventure of young people in our community. We are extremely grateful for the GCBF’s support and the lasting positive impact it has made on Scouting at Nerang.
