11.01.2022 Due to the recent changes in the development of the COVID-19 pandemic we have unfortunately had to make the difficult decision to suspend all face to face Scouting activities for the 1st Scone Scout Group. Effective immediately all Cub, Scout and Venturer meetings and the APR meeting have been postponed until further notice. This has been a very difficult decision to make but we have to put the health and well being of our children, leaders and adult helpers first. We are wor...king with Scouts NSW to commence Scouting programs via new and exciting means and will update everybody once this is ready to be rolled out. We understand this is a difficult time for everybody but we wish to assure everybody as soon as we are able to restart our face to face Scouting meetings and activities we will do so. We are an important part of youth development in the Upper Hunter and will ensure this continues once this difficult time passes. Till then stay safe and look after yourselves. See more
