Volunteering with Scouts is your chance to step into something bigger without leaving your everyday life behind. Support young people, grow your own skills and be part of the adventure.

You are a parent, a partner, a professional…. but there is more to you than your everyday roles. Volunteering with Scouts Queensland is a chance to meet the other you – to explore your strengths, learn new skills and rediscover a side of yourself you may have forgotten or you have not previously had the opportunity to explore.

While volunteering provides substantial benefits to our young people and to our communities, importantly it also provides significant benefits to our volunteers and can be great fun!

This morning, 25 April, Scouts, families and friends of the Samford Scout Group gathered at the Samford Avenue of Honour for the Samford ANZAC March and ceremony. This is Australia’s most significant national occasion, marking the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces in 1915. It commemorates the sacrifice of over 103,000 Australians who died in all conflicts and honors the service of all veterans, fostering national identity and reflection on the human cost of war. The service commenced after the flyover of two WW1 era biplanes, shaking their wings as either by pilot input or wind gusts. The MC reflected on how his early life was so well shaped by his time as a member of the Sea Scouts and how the scouting experience carried him onto greater achievements in his life. He also mentioned the importance of people volunteering to help their local community groups and the satisfaction that brings. (No, I didn’t help write his speech). Rover Lilly and Joey Elka laid our group wreath and the Cubs laid a special one of their own. Upon the completion of the service, the Joeys shared the mountain of delicious ANZAC cookies with all, that they had baked on Thursday. We were blessed with dry weather until 20 minutes after the completion of the service, when the rain arrived. Thank you to everyone who attended today including parents, families and our many supporters. Samford Scout Group - Providing Skills For Life
