Revolution set up

Today was the day. Akela did her usual five minute pack of her personal gean and we were off. To the Scout Hall to 1^st pick up the tents (and other sundries), and then to Woodhouse, so we could set the tents up for the weekend. It really didn’t take long and it was not long before the excited youth members and their parents arrived on site. Going to bed early was not something we did that night – but the fog coming in was something special to see, as it rolled over the campsite. A pity Akela didnt get any photos of this!

One Sleep to go

There is only one more sleep to go before we head to Revolution 2014! This is the combined Cub and Joey State Cub Camp and I am really looking forward to attending.

Meeting friends in Town

Today, I got to met a facebook friend Pooks Bear who lives in Sydney. But Pooks is here in Adelaide on Holiday. I thought it was great to be able to met up with a facebook friend and appreciate the opportunity top do so.

5th Mildura Scout Group

Well, Akela has done it again. While doing some surfing for Cubs, she came across another scout group blog – it belongs to 5^th Mildura.

Akela use to go to Mildura regularly to see their Gang Show while growing up, as a family friend was the producer at the time. She certainly has a soft spot for the town as it makes up a part of her childhood holiday memories. She has promised that one day, she will take me to Mildura for visit.

Clean Up Australia Day

Today, Mawson Lakes Cubs and I went and participated in a Clean Up Australia Day activity. We joined in with the Friends of Pledger Wetlands with their clean up. Many hands made light work and it certainly help get the work done

Day at the Beach

Today, was Baden Powell’s birthday. Many scouting people refer to the 22^nd of Feb as Founders Day, in memory of when Robert Baden Powell was born in 1857.

While we didn’t do anything special today scouting wise (the Cub Pack had a special Baden Powell theme night at their Cub Meeting

Today though, Akela and I went to the beach with her dog and spent a lot of time throwing the ball. We also had a picnic for lunch, and it was certainly a great day to be at the beach

Cub Beach Night

This evening, the cub pack went to the beach. It was a great night and a very enjoyable evening. Everyone had a great time and in light of the temps of 41 during the day, was a great night away from the hall.
