Three Underwood Scouts finished our Navigation triple header on Sunday at Scout-O. Two experienced orienteers were keen to teach one of our less experienced navigators while enjoying the Brisbane Koala Bushlands. They did very well, clearing the course by reaching every control point in 2 hours and 18 minutes. Competition was tight though with 2 other patrols clearing the course faster than them including a very impressive 95 minute from Manly-Lota Venturers! This resulted in a well earned 3rd place for Underwood.
BRAVO to Haggis and Orienteering Queensland for a great event. Time for a bit of a rest before fishing later in the term.

Three Scout patrols braved the cold Samford valley on the weekend to participate in the always amazing Knight Moves. They navigated through the bush in the dark and completed 6 fun challenge bases.
This is our third time at Knight Moves and the review always comes back positive from our Scouts. The leaders put on a truly enjoyable event and we were extra thankful they decided not to order the rain this year!
After a top 10 finish last year we were surprised and excited to move on to the podium this year with Scorpion patrol winning the event and Turtle coming in second by only 2 points. BRAVO to all involved!

Underwood sent 7 patrols to Tyakunda Trailblazer yesterday across Cubs, Scouts and Venturers. All patrols had a great time practicing their navigation skills.
BRAVO to Tom's Trailblazing Team who won the Scout section (defending their title from last year) and also won the senior course shield - scoring higher than the winning Venturer and Rover teams.
Congrats also to Sunnywood, our combined Venturer patrol with Sunnybank Scout Group who came 2nd in the Venturer division.
Thanks Tyakunda Trailblazer for once again putting on a fantastic event.

Celebrating 50 Years of Deadly

This NAIDOC Week, Underwood Scout Group proudly celebrates the history, cultures and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

As Scouts, we believe in respect, inclusion, learning from one another and leaving the world a little better than we found it. NAIDOC Week is an opportunity to recognise the strength, resilience and continuing contributions of the world’s oldest living cultures.

This year’s theme, “50 Years of Deadly”, celebrates five decades of honouring First Nations voices, leadership, culture and community while looking to the future with pride and hope.

We encourage our Scouting families to take the time this week to:
• Learn about the Traditional Custodians of your local area.
• Attend a local NAIDOC event.
• Listen to First Nations stories and perspectives.
• Celebrate the rich cultures that continue to shape Australia.

Together, we continue to build a community where everyone belongs.

Happy NAIDOC Week from everyone at Underwood Scout Group.

🖤💛❤️💙💚

More bushwalking this holidays - our Scouts headed to the Sunshine Coast Hinterland Great Walk last weekend for a 3 day, 2 night adventurous journey. A little chilly, a little damp, but still a great time. BRAVO to these 7 youth, particularly Z & P who planned and led the activity as part of their journey to the Scout peak award.

Happy Queensland Day!! Thank you to everyone who spent the day with us at our ARP. Wonderful to see everyone. We especially love the maze-o the scouts put on.

Queensland Day is an important celebration of our state’s culture and heritage and an opportunity to reflect on what Queensland means to you and what makes you proud to be a Queenslander—whether it be our people, places, opportunities or lifestyle.

The outdoors is at the heart of Scouting — from hiking and paddling to camping under the stars, learning new skills, and exploring the natural world. 🌏

Through these adventures, young people develop a greater appreciation for the environment and gain a deeper understanding of their role in protecting it. Across Australia, Scout Groups are taking action through community clean-up events, tree planting projects, recycling programs, sustainable outdoor practices, and local conservation efforts that make a positive difference.

Scouts Australia remains committed to empowering young people to care for the environment and find innovative ways to protect our planet for generations to come.

Inspired by Nature. For Climate. For Our Future.

That campfire.

That first badge.

That smile when a young person realises they can do something they never thought possible.

Those Lifelong friends.

Since 1988 Underwood Scouts has been helping local young people learn, grow, lead and belong.

Behind every campfire, hike, community project, adventure and achievement is a Scout Den that needs to be maintained, equipment that needs to be replaced, and programs that need to be supported.

As we approach the end of the financial year, we’re asking our community to help us build the future of Underwood Scouts.

Your donation will help us:

🧡 Maintain and improve our Den and facilities

💛 Keep equipment safe and up to date

💚 Improve outdoor spaces and places to explore

❤️ Provide quality programs, resources and experiences

❤️ Build for the future of Scouting in our community

Every little bit helps.

Whether it’s $5, $20 or $200, every contribution helps create opportunities for local young people to challenge themselves, make friends, develop leadership skills and create memories that last a lifetime.

Donations of $2 or more are tax deductible

Thank you for supporting Underwood Scouts and investing in the next generation of leaders, adventurers and community members.
