Fishing Night at Largs Pier

This evening, we went fishing at Largs Bay Jetty. It was slightly cooler (and windier) than our fishing night back in March, but just as enjoyable for those who attended.

 

The highlight of this evening’s activity was the catch (and release back) of the Guitar Shark, that was caught in the crab net, eating a crab. It caused much excitement.

 

Overall, it was another good night out of the hall, providing a variety of activities the them members of the Cub Unit. 

 

Mawson Lakes Urban lake Walk

After the Open Day Birthday Celebrations, it had been decided to do an evening walk for Cubs on the Wednesday. It was relatively easy preparation and a chance to get out of the hall. Which is always a good thing!

 

It was a short(er) walk this evening, but it was still good chance to add to the Km/walkabout badge totals. It all adds up and several of the Cubs are keen to boost their totals.

 

Overall, it was a great night and good walk. All who attended enjoyed it. 

 

 

Open Day - Golden Grove Scout Group 40th Birthday Celebratons

Today, we had an open day for Golden Grove Scout Group. Essentially, it was the group’s 40^th Birthday party and we invited a lot of people to come and celebrate the day with us.

 

It had been several months in the planning, and a bit of work went into the day, who was going to have a spot to talk, which VIPs were going to be invited etc.

 

There was even a Cub Section Peak Award (Gray Wolf) presentation on the day, and a time capsule buried, to be brought up in 20 years’ time (when the group turns 60).  

Golden Grove Scout Group started back in 1983, and came about because a group of parents in Surry Downs were looking at joining a group. They discovered that both local groups of Tea Tree Gully and Ridgehaven Scout Groups were full and had waiting lists. So, they decided to start a new one!

When it came to naming the group, they were in discussions as a parent committee on what to call the group. As this was happening, the state government announced that they were allowing Delfin to develop the area known as Golden Grove. Hence, they decided that they would call the new Scout Group Golden Grove, and hence the group was started. As a result, it just pre dates the suburb.   

 

Overall, today was a great day, and it was well attended by both current and past members. We had the locals MPs, Mayor and the Chief Commissioner of Scouts SA also in attendance.
