25.01.2022 Love means total acceptance. And there is no denying that when we accept someone completely, we also have to accept some not so pleasant elements which can po...ke us and cause pain. True love means to figure out how to deal with those elements in a way that the expression of our love can be the fullest.

23.01.2022 Daylight savings starts tomorrow! Remember to set your clocks forward by 1 hour. This is also a good time to change the batteries in your Scout Hall's smoke alarm.

Today is International Day for Tolerance, a day to recognise the achievements we've made in bette...r understanding different cultures and people. Learning about our differences only makes our communities stronger, and Scouts NSW is honoured to provide a safe space to come together. #UNInternationalDayOfTolerance #Diversity #Acceptance #Together

22.01.2022 Charlestown Scouts commemorating Anzac Day at Dudley Dawn Service and Charlestown Lions Service, the first year of Charlestown Scouts doing Catafalque Party. A big thankyou to Kaz for the beautiful wreaths.

22.01.2022 Are you heading to the beach this summer? As a former surf lifesaver I constantly find myself when I'm at a beach automatically in patrol mode, and I'm always ...troubled seeing the amount of swimmers that enter the surf straight into a rip zone. This includes, and most worrying of all children. I know a lot of people are kind of aware of what to do if caught in a rip, but it has been brought to my attention recently that a lot of people aren't aware of what a rip actually looks like or where the safest place to swim at the beach is if there is no flagged area. One person will drown every two to three days this summer... 90% of those fatalities will be rip-related. Here are a few things that will help you and your kids stay safe this summer. I have also put together a few images that show what to look for. 1. The easiest thing to remember is that often the safest/calmest most enticing looking area along a beach is usually a rip. A rip is usually the area void of wave activity and appears darker and deceptively calmer. It can sometimes appear milky or turbulent, but it is always pretty much void of wave activity. All that water coming in via waves has to go back out somehow, this is what a rip is. (see pics). 2. Always take 5-10 mins when you get to the beach to observe surf conditions and identify where these areas are. 3. If you are caught in a rip, DO NOT PANIC. Go into floating mode and raise one arm as a distress signal when possible. See which direction the rip is taking you, is it straight out or at an angle? once you have determined this, and if you have the energy, swim to the right or left of the direction of flow, never against. Some rips can move at 3 times the speed of an olympic swimmer, you won't win! If you cannot swim out to either side of the rip, just go with it. Most rips won't take you out very far, and will usually spit you out not long after they take you, so keep calm and save your energy for the swim back to shore. 4. If you have kids, show them these pictures, educate them and make them aware. You can't always be watching them, and it is only a matter of a few metres each way of the point of entry to the water that could mean them being safe, or instantly caught in a rip. Obviously the safest place to swim is always between the flags on a patrolled beach, but this isn't always practical given the immensity of our coast line and number of beautiful beaches. Of course there are many other factors that can come into play when it comes to beach safety, but rips are the No.1 killer. They are not hard to identify, and 10 mins observation before entering the surf is much easier than body retrieval. *The darker/calmer areas in the pics are rips. The one with purple dye shows rip movement.

22.01.2022 Thank you to those members who have let us know about Rohan and his actions to help an elderly woman who had fallen. While he may have learned first aid in Sc...outs, on this day he demonstrated much more than those skills - leadership, compassion, generosity and kindness. What a wonderful affirmation of the Scouting spirit. BRAVO Rohan! See more

21.01.2022 Did you know only 9% of plastic is recycled every year? Just because we toss it in the recycling bin doesn't mean it ends up getting recycled - sometimes it'll end up in a landfill, an ocean, or on the street instead. This year, let's say no to plastic.

18.01.2022 Scout badges represent growth, development and skills and are worn with pride, however unless you’re a sewing ninja or have a sewing nanna on hand, most of us h...ave a love/hate relationship with sewing on uniform badges! This handy tip changed everything both as a parent sewing on Cub badges and teaching said Cub, now Scout to sew on his own badges See more

16.01.2022 Windlines: The Scout Compass of Discovery, is a major public sculpture located at Scout Place along Alfred Street at Circular Quay in Sydney. The artwork harnes...ses the ever-changing nature of the wind to inspire journeys of discovery, and includes a number of Scouting phrases including ‘lead the way’, ‘do your best’ and ‘be prepared’. It was funded by Dick Smith AO and Pip Smith to commemorate the centenary of Scouts in Australia in 2008, and ten years later, on Sunday 18 November 2018, it will be where dozens of Scouting members gather to renew their Scout Promise to celebrate 110 years of the Scouting movement in Australia.

There's been photos of this well known and popular canyon sighted across Australia and the United States. Read the full story here: http://bit.ly/scoutphotosuccess See more

15.01.2022 On Tuesday we went to see the Westpac Helicopter. It was lots of fun. One of our Charlestown cubs got to sit in the pilot seat for her birthday, unfortunately nobody else got to, but we got it go inside the back of the helicopter. We even got to see it land, it was awesome! Krystal (Cubs)

15.01.2022 Today is Harmony Day, an opportunity for us to celebrate diversity and inclusivity across our nation and our Scouting communities.

14.01.2022 Last Thursday Cubs joined Teralba Cubs at Belmont Ambulance Station. All the Cubs had a wonderful time. A big thanks to Jeanine Bond for showing us around and Kaa for inviting us. Here is what one of our Cubs and a Joey thought of the night. I liked how we got to hear the siren and learn about how one of the sounds can make the car infront vibrate. I liked how we got to see all the different stretchers and all the equipment kept in the ambulance. It was good to see that Bag...gy has a heart when he got hooked up to the machine. I think i might like to be a paramedic when i grow up. Cooper Gardem I just liked all of it. Mason Gardem

13.01.2022 Tuesday night we finished a great term with a campfire and sausage sandwich at Glenrock. Thankyou to the leaders and parent helpers on the bbq.

12.01.2022 Paying our respects at Charlestown. 1st year as catafalque party and a job well done.

12.01.2022 What better way to mark #WorldKindnessDay than by performing a random act of kindness to someone around you. Simple actions can have an enormous impact.

10.01.2022 SPECIAL OFFER FROM ANACONDA NEWCASTLE Anaconda Newcastle has heard a rumour that there's a big Jamboree coming up in the next few months. This means a lot to u...s, as camping people ourselves, we love when we hear stories about people getting out into the great outdoors and out into Adventure, whether it be camping, hiking, or even just getting outside. We also know that there might be a few of you who need a few extra things to help make this camp as easy as possible, so we want to do something for you! On Tuesday, the 23rd, we will be opening our doors just for you, after hours. When 5.30 rolls around, we'll keep the doors open for another 2 hours to let you come in and buy all the essentials like stretchers, sleeping bags, boots, clothes, sleeping mats, dinner sets, tents... whatever it is you need. And because we really like Scouts (because I'm a Scout Leader myself), we're going to do our best to make it as cost effective as possible, knocking down prices on a few things we think would be essential for Jamboree. I don't want anyone to feel left out either though, so if you know there's some gear in the den that needs upgrading, maybe the big sleeping tents, hiking tents, poles, pegs, or cooking equipment, we'd be happy to let your whole group come through and get what they need, and we'll do our best on those prices too. To sweeten the deal, any Scout family that wants to come is invited to RSVP to the event by emailing [email protected], and they will receive a voucher in their email inbox giving them $10 off for spending over $50 on the night! So, to recap Tuesday 23rd October from 5.30-7.30, Scouts and Scout families/groups special night. RSVP at [email protected] for a special voucher Discounted stock across the store specifically for you (Exclusions apply, we're not going to discount Fishing or Bikes)

10.01.2022 This week for National Volunteers Week, we're thanking all of our members for the work they do in their communities.

10.01.2022 Today we celebrate Founders Day! In the busyness of the start of the school and Scouting year, it's important to take a moment and reflect on our roots. Lord Ro...bert Baden-Powell opened the door for Scouts around the world to impact millions of young people, as well as their communities. Like our Youth Members, Baden-Powell fulfilled his potential, writing over 30 books about his travels and Scouting. Like our Adult Members, he freely gave his time and energy to the betterment of the Scouting program and the young people it empowers. His legacy lives on through each and every one of us and our participation in Scouting. #Scouts #FoundersDay #ScoutsNSW
