21.01.2022 MESSENGERS OF PEACE Every year our Cubs visit Kmart Aspley to donate presents to the Kmart Wishing Tree. The concept is that our Cubs learn that some Aussie families really struggle at Christmas and that a little kindness can go a long way. Cubs first learn about how to shop safely and respectfully from the Kmart staff before heading off to shop. The brief is for Cubs to buy something that they would like themselves (to ensure it is a fantastic gift), but then donate it to th...e Kmart Wishing Tree so that our friends at the Salvation Army can support families at Christmas. #christmas #kmart #kmartaustralia #kmartwishingtree #salvationarmy #giving #MessengersOfPeace Scouts Queensland

19.01.2022 A big thank you to Rob Martin Electrical, our Scouts will love the new lights!!

19.01.2022 Happy Birthday, B-P! HAPPY FOUNDER'S DAY to all our Scouting brothers and sisters all around the world. (And happy Thinking Day to Guides) Our Founder's inspiration for a youth development program has been serving our communities for over 100 years. Today, we continue to help create a better world with over 50 millions members around the globe.... "Scouting is a school of citizenship though woodcraft" ~ Baden Powell Lord Robert Baden-Powell, Founder of Scouting and World Chief Scout, died in Kenya on 8 January 1941 at the age of 83. Soldiers and Scouts escorted the coffin to a simple grave at Nyeri, within sight of Mount Kenya. This message to all Scouts was found among his papers after he died. Dear Scouts, If you have ever seen the play Peter Pan you will remember how the pirate chief was always making his dying speech because he was afraid that possibly when the time came for him to die he might not have time to get it off his chest. It is much the same with me, and so, although I am not at this moment dying, I shall be doing so one of these days and I want to send you a parting word of goodbye. Remember, it is the last you will ever hear from me, so think it over. I have had a most happy life and I want each one of you to have as happy a life too. I believe that God put us in this jolly world to be happy and enjoy life. Happiness doesn’t come from being rich, nor merely from being successful in your career, nor by self-indulgence. One step towards happiness is to make yourself healthy and strong while you are a boy, so that you can be useful and so can enjoy life when you are a man. Nature study will show you how full of beautiful and wonderful things God has made the world for you to enjoy. Be contented with what you have got and make the best of it. Look on the bright side of things instead of the gloomy one. But the real way to get happiness is by giving out happiness to other people. Try and leave this world a little better than you found it and when your turn comes to die, you can die happy in feeling that at any rate you have not wasted your time but have done your best. ‘Be Prepared’ in this way, to live happy and to die happy stick to your Scout promise always even after you have ceased to be a boy and God help you to do it. Your Friend, Baden-Powell #Scouts #scoutlife #scoutfoundersday #bp

18.01.2022 This week is National Reconciliation Week, marking 20 years of Australia's journey towards being a more equitable, just and reconciled nation. This year's theme is #InThisTogether as every one of us has a role to play when it comes to reconciliation, and in playing our part we collectively build relationships and communities that value Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories and cultures.

16.01.2022 Joey Scouts (ages 5-7) can make a difference!! Bracken Ridge Joey Scout Jack is currently travelling around Australia with his family, but is a true Scout at heart. Whilst visiting Arnhem Land Jack learned about the damage discarded plastic does to the environment. Jack not only helped remove an impressive amount of plastic from the environment, but Jack decided to help raise awareness of the impact plastic has in our environment.... Keep up the great work Jack, you are making our world a much better place to be!! #scouts #scoutlife #JoeyScouts #plasticsux #environment #ScoutsLead #makingadifference Scouts Queensland

13.01.2022 Cuboree2020 POSTPONED until September2021 The current COVID-19 pandemic that has caused such sweeping changes to the way events are being run has meant that man...y people are facing an uncertain future. The timing for Cuboree2020 put's it at quite a risky time for restrictions to be lifted and for people to be ready to return to such events. As a result the Cuboree Executive Committee is announcing the Cuboree2020 is not going to be able to go ahead in the September 2020 school holidays. Instead, we are going to offer: Cuboree2020 to be postponed until Cuboree2021 in the September school holidays of 2021 A special, one off, Scuboree sub camp for younger scouts who would have been able to attend Cuboree2020, but will be too old for 2021. This will be lead by scout leaders and will aim to give them a more age appropriate event, whilst still participating in the rest of the event Online Cuboree2020 Around the World in 18 months will be a FREE, open to ALL cub scouts and leaders, interactive set of online adventures to keep families engaged in Cuboree right up until the event. The Cuboree Application system will continue to remain open and you can still apply or withdraw your application at any time. Refunds are still available if you aren't able to join us in 2021, but we encourage you to consider being a part of our event as the world changes around us. For any questions, please contact: [email protected]
