NEXT STAGE OF HALL IMPROVEMENTS OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY!

A very exciting day for Moodemere today!

Not only is South Metro Showtime opening at The Drum theatre, Dandenong tonight (chookas to all Moodemere members involved!!!), today also marks another milestone in our ongoing hall interior improvement works. There have been small improvements happening each week thanks to our dedicated and generous parent helpers, but today is a big one that you'll definitely notice!

Over the last few years we have asked a fair bit of our Moodemere Community, with many families involved in fundraising means through various Bunnings BBQ's, Family Fun Nights, the current chocolate drive and we are now so excited to be able to share some of the improvements that all that effort has gone towards.

Today we have had two reverse cycle air conditioners installed by local business LevLec Electrical Solutions, and our antiquated gas heater has been finally decomissioned after many years of noble service. Alongside the fundraising, we are also assisted with a government rebate to replace this heater - every little bit helps!

These new split systems are going to cool the hot summer nights and warm the hall sleepovers, and all in all make the hall environment more comfortable for all our Moodereme members (especially our Youth members) so that our amazing leaders can get on with delivering the program in the best environment possible.

While we've had trades on site, we have also had local plumber FlowNow Plumbing complete the last disconnections / adjustments to the plumbing at the hall which will now allow us to commence the next parts of the toilet refreshment works and eventually lead to our next major works of a flooring upgrade.

There are so many aspects that go into projects like this, with the Moodemere committee, leaders, parent helpers all playing their part to give our youth members the best environment possible.

Moodemere is a great part of the Noble Park / Keysborough community and these works also go towards making our hall a great meeting place for people to hire for different private events, so please keep our hall in mind if you are looking for a good sized venue in a great location!

Thanks to everyone involved in this important milestone, we're looking forward to sharing more updates soon!

JOEYS AND CUBS GO BOUNCE, BOUNCE, BOUNCE!

Our youngest sections had another great night out at BOUNCE Keysborough on Monday, with our Joeys and Cubs coming together for a joint section night. It was great to be joined along by a few new families who came along to meet us and give Scouting a try!

Plenty of jumping, climbing and burning off some energy, and something a bit different for a Monday night - apologies to parents if we’ve cooked them for the rest of the week!

A huge thanks to the team at BOUNCE Keysborough for having us and for their ongoing support of Moodemere Scout Group.

We encourage all of our Moodemere families to head down and support BOUNCE Keysborough when you get the chance, just as they have supported our group.

HAPPY WORLD SCOUT DAY and CONGRATULATIONS ROSELLA!

We celebrate World Scout Day today, and Moodemere Scout Group is thrilled to congratulate one of our Joey leaders - Michelle (Rosella) as her years of dedicated service to Scouting has been recognised with her being awarded the Special Service Award!

Michelle has been a wonderful mentor and leader for our Joey mob for many years, and has had a significant impact in supporting the development of our youth members from their time in Joeys before continuing into other sections.

Thank you Michelle, we are so fortunate to have you (and of course your broader family) as a dedicated leader at Moodemere and it is great to see you recognised in this way.

Speaking more broadly we are forever grateful for all our leaders and helpers who along with Michelle make Moodemere a marvellous place to be. Happy World Scout Day to all!

WELCOME BACK FOR TERM 3!

We hope everyone has settled back into the school routine after the holidays. It’s shaping up to be another busy term at Moodemere, with plenty happening around the hall and across all of our Sections.

Last Sunday, a group of our older Cubs took part in a Leadership and Personal Development course run by Kingston District and hosted at Mordialloc Scout Hall. It was a great opportunity for them to build new skills, challenge themselves and work alongside other Cubs from across the District. Thank you to Kingston District for delivering the course, Mordialloc Scout Group for hosting, and to our Leaders who gave up their Sunday to support our Cubs.

You’ll also notice another stage of the car park improvements has now been completed, with the parking bays refreshed and the overflow parking area now fenced off while works continue. We’d like to thank the City of Greater Dandenong for their ongoing support and engagement as these improvements continue to progress.

We’re now just ONE MONTH AWAY from South Metro Showtime – one of the highlights of our Term 3 calendar.

We have Moodemere members involved right across the production, from performers through to backstage crew, and we’re looking forward to seeing all of their hard work come together on stage. Section Leaders are organising group bookings for members who would like to attend together, so please speak with your Leader if you’d like to sit with your Section. Tickets can also be booked directly at www.southmetroshowtime.org

There are plenty more activities, adventures and hall improvements planned over the coming weeks.

As always, thank you to our volunteers, supporters and families who make all of this possible. We look forward to sharing another great term with you all.

We also want to thank the parents who have recently stepped up to formally register as Adult Helpers within our Group and have commenced the ScoutSafe training. It is fantastic to see more families getting involved to support our programs and activities.

Being a Scout Leader is an incredibly rewarding experience and a wonderful way to help local young people grow and thrive. If you have ever considered getting involved, please speak to your section leaders or Shelley (Bilby) for a chat about becoming a helper or leader.

WE LOVE OUR MOODEMERE MUMS (AND ALL THE SPECIAL PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT OUR GROUP)!

This week at Cubs we took some time to celebrate and thank the amazing mums, grandparents and special people who support our youth members each and every week.

Across the evening there were games, craft, plenty of fun and laughter, before our youth members proudly served supper to their mums and special guests. It was wonderful to see everyone enjoying time together around the hall and recognising the important role families play within our Moodemere community.

We love you Moodemere Mums and special people!
