Congratulations to 1PP Venturer Scout Cobalt Walsh, who was announced as a finalist for Young Citizen of the Year at the 2026 Canterbury-Bankstown Council Australia Day Awards back in January.

The citation included recognition of Cobalt as “an exceptional young leader whose achievements span school, community organisations, and civic programs across Canterbury-Bankstown.”

While he didn’t win the title, we’re proud that, out of 65,000 young people living in the City of Canterbury-Bankstown, he made the top three! Bravo Cobalt!

Meet Connaire!

Last week he was presented with his Wood Badge woggle, beads, and Gilwell scarf in recognition of having completed advanced leader training. B-R-A-V-O-O-O Connaire!

Connaire’s service to Scouting was also recognised this year on World Scout Day with the Special Service Award. 1PP had a whopping 6 leaders receive awards this year and will be sharing some of their stories over the coming weeks!

Back to Connaire…His scouting journey began as a youth member at 1st East Hills Scout Group. Two decades later Connaire came back to Scouting, as a Cub Scout Leader at 1st Picnic Point.

Known to the Cub Scouts as ‘Rama’, Connaire leads the way with his intricate and up-to-date knowledge of the Scout method, policies and rules. He ensures the Cub Scout program reflects the fundamentals of Scouting, and he brings a passion and excitement to every meeting and activity.

Connaire contributes to Scouting beyond 1PP. In 2024 he took on the role of Region Commissioner for Diversity and Inclusion, before moving to the role of Region Commissioner, Cub Scouts in 2025. He has also served on the Scouts Australia Reconciliation Action Plan Project Patrol.

Connaire’s contribution to Scouting in such a short time is exceptional. Thank you for your commitment to our young people Connaire!

During term 3, Venturers were guests of Auburn Gelibolu Mosque. Our guide Ergun was very welcoming to our 21 Venturers, leaders and parents who came out on a wet night and were left feeling much more knowledgeable about Islam and the Mosque. The night finished off at the nearby Turkish sweets cafe, with Venturers enjoying baklava and Turkish tea.
