1st Fairfield Heights LAC HONG SCOUT GROUP

🌏🎉 Many Cultures, One Community! 🎉🌏
Last Sunday, 13 September 2026, our 1st Fairfield Heights Lac Hong & 2nd Bankstown Bach Viet Scout Groups had a fantastic day at the Children’s Festival 2026 in Padstow!

Our team arrived early to help set up the festival, while our wonderful parents fired up the barbecue and kept everyone well fed with a delicious sausage sizzle 🌭🔥

Throughout the day, our Rovers, Venturers, Scouts and Cubs helped run Scout activities, proudly joined the multicultural parade and assisted wherever needed.

It wasn’t just a fun day—it was Scouting in action: teamwork, leadership, service and friendship, all while celebrating the many cultures that make our community so special. ⚜️💛

A huge thank-you to our parents, Leaders and youth members for your time, hard work and cheerful spirit—from setting up in the morning to helping throughout the day. You proved once again that when Lac Hong Scouts turn up, we don’t just attend the festival—we help make it happen! 😄👏

Thank you to the Children’s Festival Organisation Inc., all the organisers, volunteers, performers and families for such a colourful and memorable celebration. We were proud to be part of it!

🌅 CITY2SURF 2026 – When ⚜️⚜️⚜️“Volunteering” Starts at 3:30AM! 😂

Alarm: 4:00AM ⏰
Meet at Cabramatta Station: 4:45AM 🚆
Shift at Kings Cross: 6:00–11:00AM 💪

While Sydney was still snoring, our crew was already on the move! 😴➡️💙

We volunteered at the City2Surf clothing collection, helping the runners, collecting the gear… and questioning every life decision that brought us out of bed at 3:30AM. 🤣

But hey, good mates + Scout spirit = we survived! 😂

Huge shout-out to our scouts group awesome volunteers — you legends absolutely smashed it! 👏💙

Woke up before the sun, worked before breakfast, and still managed a group photo.
That’s commitment… or just slightly questionable judgement! 😂

Leadership and Responsibility
Patrol Leader Liam from Fairfield Heights Vennies - 1st Fairfield Heights Liên Đoàn Lạc Hồng shared “I took on the responsibility for the planning and logistics of the entire journey, including managing finances, coordinating travel arrangements, and overseeing day-to-day tasks. This hands-on Leadership experience helped me to grow in decision-making and confidence, demonstrating the importance of responsibility and careful planning.”

Venturer Scouts' epic journey exploring New Zealand’s volcanoes. An unforgettable adventure across the frosty terrain of Tongariro National Park, made possible with support from the Dick and Pip Smith - Leadership Through Adventure Fund.
