History of Scouting in Elizabeth, South Australia

History of Scouting in Elizabeth, South Australia This has been set up to help track and identify information about scout groups within Elizabeth. I have now taken this on as a bigger project.

Initially set up to track my progress for a TAFE subject - "Write History For Publication", in Semester One 2011. This subject was apart of the Advanced Diploma of Arts (Professional Writing)

The information that I gained for the assignment only just scratched the surface. Information will be gained by:
1) interviews - face to face, via phone, however people wish to do it
2) via photos and docu

ments such as minutes of meetings, articles of activities

As a former Guide, I appreciate that Guiding also played a role within Elizabeth History. HOWEVER, I have had to choice to focus on one section of Elizabeth's history to make it manageable and to give it the attention it deserves. This is not to say that someone who wishes to write about the history of Guide Groups in Elizabeth is prevented from doing so. In fact, I would ENCOURAGE them to do so.

As apart of National Volunteer Week, we would like to acknowledge the many people who have volunteered their time and efforts for Scouting within City of Playford since the 1st scout group was formed in 1958.

Their efforts have seen since that time:
1) formations of Scout Groups started
2) Lots of fundraising to build Scout Halls (some of which still house Scout Groups. Others how house other community groups, such as soccer, churches and out of school hours care programs for primary schools)
3) starting of Comedy Capers Gang Show, and the efforts to put this show on year after year
4) the continuation of scouting and the many activities the program provides, in a variety of ways.

So, to the many volunteers who have come before us, those who are current volunteers, to those who are yet to take that step - THANK YOU

Our volunteers are the lifeblood of Scouts Australia.

Week after week, they show up for young people - creating opportunities for adventure, friendship, growth and belonging.

This , we thank every volunteers who gives their time so generously. Your dedication helps shape confident, capable and caring citizens who will go on to make a positive difference in their communities.

Thank you.
