Are you looking for a way to help your children develop positive values, confidence, independence and leadership skills while having a blast? Scouting is the biggest and most successful youth organization in Australia, and it's not hard to see why. Not only do Scouts participate in exciting activities like abseiling, rock climbing, archery, canoeing, hiking, and camping, they also learn resilience and independence in the process. But that's not all. Wembley Downs Joey Scouts make a direct and positive impact on their local community by contributing hundreds of volunteer hours every year. From participating in Clean Up Australia Day to planting trees, the Wembley Downs Scouts are committed to making a difference in our community

Plus, Scouting provides countless opportunities for youth to manage risk, gain resilience and develop leadership skills, as well as practical skills like first aid and cooking. And the fun doesn't stop there - Wembley Downs Scouts get the opportunity to participate in local, national and international camps and Jamborees, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Don't miss out on the chance to give your child a unique and rewarding experience that will help them grow into responsible and confident adults. Sign them up to the Wembley Downs Scouts today!

Sunday morning, Joeys hit the Swan River for the Scouts Eco Cat Adventure Sailing Day with .swac. They had a fantastic time learning new boating skills, which helps them build their Outdoor Adventure Skills (OAS) on the water.
A huge thank you to the leaders and volunteers who made this adventure possible for our Joeys. They cannot stop talking about it!

VK6SWD (Scouts Wembley Downs) is now off air! Our amateur radio station was staffed for JOTA (The scouting Jamboree on the Air) from 16th till the 18th of October. In this time we made radio contacts with eastern states stations, the UK, Indonesia, Japan, and within WA on VHF and HF frequencies. Our JOTA/JOTI event culminated in a radio and technology day on the 17th with scouts from surrounding groups also invited. Overall we had ~80 scouts and girl guides attend the event. They got to: Test out their soldering skills, build electronic circuits, listen to air traffic, test out their own ATC skills, do some direction finding using radios (FOX hunting) and hold video conferences with scouts from different parts of the world using the internet. Many thanks to all that attended, the leaders that helped out, but special thanks to VK6KMJ (Koala ), VK6NJL (Swan), VK6VZZ (John), Wallaby, and Eagle (Karrinyup Scout Group). It was also great to catch up with our local Girl Guides. Girl Guides Australia.

Welcome back to Term 4! To get ready for our upcoming sailing day at the wa Water Activity Centre, our Joeys got an insider look at what Wallaby packs when he heads out on the water. The Joeys learned all about water safety, gear checking, and keeping sun smart. We even practiced doing safety checks on each other and played some relay games.
We cannot wait till sailing day!

DAY 3/4 - End!
The venturers completed their adventurous journey today after making many friends along their 4 days on the Bibbulmun Track. They met a dad and his two young daughters who hiked with them on Day 1 - the vents had a good time keeping the little girls entertained and learnt from the dad's experience of completing an end to end (E2E for those in the know) over 55 days in the past. They were surprised by an anonymous supporter who bought them all cake at Mundaring Weir Hotel, later discovering it was a young film maker who they befriended and then spent 2 days hiking and camping with. They met a couple of environmental scientists who they spent an evening with around the campfire before they departed the next day to complete their own E2E SOBO. They even bumped into a Rover scout. Sometimes its not just the fun you have with your patrol mates, the wildlife, or scenery. Many times it is the people you meet on your journey that you remember the most.

Last night the Duke of Edinburgh International Awards recognised youth that have achieved their Duke of Edinburgh Gold Awards in the past year. Congratulations to ex-Wembley Downs venturer scout Jess who achieved her award last year. Jess was presented her award by His Excellency the Honourable Chris Dawson APM, Governor of Western Australia and her award leader Swan at Government House. We are all very proud of her hard work over the years as both a scout and Duke of Edinburgh participant (having now achieved all 3 levels of the award). We wish Jess luck as she completes Year 12 and heads off on the next stages of her life.
