Our leaders and youth had an absolute BLAST entertaining everyone today. Thanks for visiting! 🎃 🎃

Orienteering is one of the things our youth learn in the scout program - We hope our maps were put to good use learning to navigate around town.

Watch this space - We have a heap of slushy mix left over, so stay tuned as we might see about running another stall very soon if we can muster up enough helpers. Let us know in the comments what the best day/time would be for you 🤔🤔

Have a great long weekend everyone, and don't forget to brush and floss after sweets!

🥤🥤IT'SSLUSHY TIME! 🥤🥤

It's not raining too bad - come on down and get a cold treat to support your local scout group!

29/10/2026

Come visit us on Halloween!

🐺 What is a werewolf's favourite Cub Scout event? A Pack meeting, of course!

We're running a cold treat fundraiser stall in the lead up to trick or treat time this coming Saturday. We'll be Camped out for the arvo, selling slushies, snow cones, icypoles and cold drinks from our hall, 12-4pm or until sold out, with cash or EFTPOS available. If it's raining we'll still run our lil ol' stall from inside the hall, y'all. Don't make a Grave mistake and miss out. All I can say is Be Prepared for brain freeze! You'll be Woggling all about if you have one too fast..

Our Scouts will be dressed up and decorating our front yard with some kooky and spooky stuff and using their best Lashings to tie it all down. Don't tie yourself up in Knots wondering what to do all day - Why not (Cub) Wolf down a snag and play some games at the Mission of Joy BBQ over at Balfour Park (2-6pm), then wander around to our hall for an icy treat to cool off?

Don't forget to visit our local shops in the C*D as well, those that are open will jump like a Joey to see your costumes! If you do a Good Turn and use your manners there may even be a treat or two waiting for you, who knows..

Be safe on Saturday. Be Prepared for wet weather by packing a coat or poncho. Act like a Scout and look about before crossing the roads, preferably in a Patrol. Also don't forget to Venture out to the other side of town and the lesser known areas for the folks just itching for visitors (no fleas hopefully) - but do so safely, and with a trusted adult or Akela to supervise of course.

If you lose your bearings because you didn't pack a Compass, don't fret! From 3.30-4.30pm we'll have a limited number of Trafalgar Halloween printed maps to hand out and can also assist folks to find the live Google map if needed, ahead of the recommended trick or treat start time of 4.30pm. We'll leave any leftover maps at our door, so if anyone is Roving around aimlessly be sure to point them in our direction.

Zero AI right there ⚜️ Did I miss any? Don't think so, hopefully I didn't Lead anyone astray... I tried to Do My Best. Let us know your favourite Halloween puns in the comments ⚜️

We'll see you there, if you dare 🎃

Tonight our Scout Section had the incredible opportunity to visit the Trafalgar Public Cemetery and undergo a self guided tour made by one of the board members. Each youth and leader had their own personal reaction to walking the rows of graves and monuments in what was a very peaceful and insightful evening.

We finished our tour with a Scouts' Own. This is an opportunity to explore the Spirituality part of the Scout Program. This can be done in silence, through song or dance, reading a poem or quote, by writing or drawing whatever comes to mind, or by any other means.. that's why it's called a Scouts' "Own". This evening we listened to a reflection piece written by one of our leaders and then stood for a minute's silence, standing on the hill at the top of the cemetery as the sun went down and the fog started to roll in. We encouraged Scouts to reflect on the experiences they've had, think back on their journey so far, and look inwards to find meaning in themselves and their place in the world.

Anyone can do their own version of a Scouts' Own. When we stop and pause from our busy schedules for a few minutes we get to take a deep breath or two, and think about ourselves, the people and the world around us. It often brings with it a sense of pride, achievement or nostalgia, but any and all feelings are appropriate because it is an individual experience.

For many Scouts this experience can be quite profound. It might invoke some intense emotions, which is completely normal and an expected reaction. For youth and leaders alike, it's important to take care of yourself after a Scouts Own and recognise the feelings that come and go over the next few days. It's all part of the process to guide and shape our youth into the person they're becoming, growing up and developing as future adults but also as the leaders of tomorrow.

Thank you to the Trafalgar Cemetery* for allowing us to visit tonight. We look forward to working together again soon.
⚜️

*Due to the cloudy weather we weren't able to get a photo of the usually spectacular views. Here is a photo of what is normally looks like, taken from the cemetery's own page, linked above. It's well worth a visit if you're ever up our way. Very peaceful and serene, especially as the sun rises or sets.

We are hosting JOTA-JOTI at Trafalgar Scout Hall, 10am-4pm this Saturday 17th October!

📻 Jamboree on the Air (JOTA)

During JOTA, Scout groups partner with local amateur radio operators to establish short-wave radio connections. Young people learn about wireless technology and communication as they exchange live, real-time greetings with fellow Scouts globally.

💻 Jamboree on the Internet (JOTI)

JOTI shifts the traditional Jamboree experience into the digital realm. Scouts connect through chat channels such as Teams, participate in video calls, explore dedicated Minecraft servers, and engage with online platforms to learn about different global cultures.

🌍 The theme for 2026 is "A Peaceful and Inclusive World" - we'll focus on global citizenship, sustainability, and promoting peace.

🥾 We'll also be taking part in Hike the Planet: A global challenge encouraging Scouts to log steps during outdoor hikes, working collectively to cover the entire circumference of the Earth.

We have some exciting activities and challenges planned! If any Scouts or Venturers are around, feel free to pop a uniform on and stop by. BYO lunch and snacks, PIRs required on sign in, opening parade is at 10am 👌

Tonight our newest Cub group recognised the hard work and dedication of our older Cubs, who have now moved up to Scouts, by hosting a party and presentation of the prestigious Grey Wolf awards for their peers.

Thank you for the privilege of allowing the younger group to acknowledge and celebrate the hard work and dedication of their peers.

Parents, Families and Leaders past and present should all be proud of the support, mentorship and encouragement they've given to get our now-Scouts to this point in the Scouting Program. It's an incredible milestone that not many achieve.

We hope our now-Scouts enjoyed themselves with a bit of silly fun tonight. We hope they can also take some time to pause and reflect on their journeys so far with a sense of pride, as they progress the next stage as Scouts.

What's next?
🛡️ The names of our newest recipients will be added to our Grey Wolf Shield on display at the Trafalgar Scout Hall.

🐺 We're counting down the days until the District Grey Wolf Awards ceremony on 22nd August. A wonderful opportunity to get up there and be formally recognised in front of all their peers from across the district.

✨ And now, our Leaders move to focus on the next lot!
