We’re excited to welcome Capybara back for Term 4 and look forward to having him back with the Scouts and Venturers. A huge thank‑you to the Queens Park Scout Group — their leaders and youth were incredibly supportive throughout Term 3. Their willingness to collaborate, share resources, and welcome our section into their program made a real difference.

We’re grateful for the friendships formed, the teamwork shown, and the smooth partnership that helped keep our youth engaged and thriving while Capybara was away.

💚💛 Welcome back to Term 4!
We hope everyone enjoyed a refreshing break and is feeling ready for another exciting term of Scouting adventures.

Our leaders are prepped, the hall is buzzing, and we can’t wait to see our Joeys, Cubs, Scouts, and Venturers back on Thursday.

We also hope everyone has a great first day back at school today — enjoy settling in, reconnecting with friends, and getting back into routine. We’re looking forward to seeing all your refreshed faces on Thursday.

Let’s make Term 4 a brilliant finish to the year. 💛💚
