5th Sandringham Scouts wishes the whole world joy and peace. We have had a wonderful year being our 100th and are looking forward to our 101 year next year. Our leaders Jane, Peter, Steve, Clare, Janis, Niraj and Henry have had a wonderful time dedicating themselves to support our youth. Their success is its own reward as we support them challenging themselves and learning how to be remarkable citizens. They never cease to amaze us.
We hope you have enjoyed seeing some of our work while developing our sensory and indigenous garden. We recently added more insect hotels and possum boxes and will continue to grow this. This year we have cooked, camped, made Swedish torches, water filters, Di Vinci bridges, wooden gadgets, recycling artworks, developed our 1st aid, made rock people, hiked, biked, zorbed, abseiled, canoed, kayaked, flew our hot air balloons, climbed, performed, picked up loads of litter, had 10 sausage sizzles, participated, lead, discovered, laughed, sung, created, learned and grown.
If your recycling bin is getting full we love your 10c container deposit scheme cans and bottles. Our tubs are back along our fence line. It has been lovely receiving your donations and we thank you all for your support.
Our Scout Group is strong and supported by so many in the community. Highett Community Banking has supported our Peak Award Winners Ava, Ethan, Emily, Eesa, Ishani. We are very proud of them for achieving this. Highett Community Bank has also supplied us with a defibrillator and are recovering our leaking camping trailers for us which will look amazing. Make sure you give us a wave when you see them.
Highett Community Bank supports our values and our Bayside Community would not be flourishing so well if it didn’t have their consistent support. They spread it across so many great community groups that are all trying to make a positive impact. Let’s all let them know we don’t take this for granted.
Bayside City Council really do raise the bar and set the tone for our great community participation. Their extensive grant program supports and encourages groups and helps them achieve more. This year they are supporting new flags and signage for our hall. Let us know what you think, they will be up soon.
Watch us in 2026, we cant wait!
