Michael Baden Powell Group Visit

This evening, Mawson Lakes Scout Group had an all section meeting as we had a special guest attend our group. We had Michael Baden Powell (and his wife) visit. Michael is the grandson of Lord Robert Baden Powell and it was a great chance to hear him speak about his knowledge of a name which is well known and associated with Scouting internationally. It was definitely worth it 

Clean Up Australia Day 2015

Today, the Cub Pack took part in Clean Up Australia Day. Akela decided that it was a good idea to link in with the Mawson Lakes Girl Guides site, and provide them with the manpower to do a great job on their site.

For those who don’t know, Clean Up Australia Day has been around for 25 years. The following is from their website (http://www.cleanup.org.au/au/About/the-clean-up-story.html)

 The Clean Up Story

In 1989 an 'average Australian bloke' had a simple idea to make a difference in his own backyard - Sydney Harbor.

This simple idea has now become the nation's largest community-based environmental event, Clean Up Australia Day.

Over all, it was a good day to get out and encourage the Cubs to get out and about, and encouraging them to look after the environment.

 

Water Activities Camp - Friday Night

This evening, Akela packed us and her gear, to head to Seahaven for a joint camp between the Cubs and Scouts. We arrived at Seahaven and after unpacking and the usual introductions and rule explanations, Akela organised the night walk. I think there were some very surprised Scouts as they clearly are not use to Akela’s idea of a walk. The Cubs were brilliant and Akela was impressed at how well they tacked the walk this time compared to June camp (it was the exact same route).

We had supper when we got back to the campsite and then it was time for bed. The Scouts were in bed and asleep before the Cubs had even settled down.

 Everyone is certainly looking forward to the weekend’s activities.
