25.01.2022 Bet you didn't know - Corryong had the only Mounted Scouts in Australia. (Border Mail 19 Mar 1940)

25.01.2022 Just a reminder to all there is no zoom meetings tonight due to power outages. Will send details for next week out soon - Sarah

25.01.2022 Hi All, just a quick update on where we are at. We reformed in April 2020, three months in and we currently have, 37 registered youth members ranging from 5-13 years of age. With interest from an additional 12... (nearly 50!!!) We have 3 registered section leaders. ... We have several registered parent helpers, with many more offering and just needing to complete paperwork. We are still finding our feet, and about to commence online Scouting at home! WE NEED YOU!!!! Scouting does not run without support, we are looking for register office bearers to form a Group Council, a president, a secretary and a treasurer to start. We need a JOEY Leader, currently we have funding to cover all required training and uniforms etc. for Leaders. I know it has been a tough year for all up here, but for us to continue the momentum and success we have had so far, we need assistance, I cannot do it alone! Please email me via [email protected] if you are interested in filling one of our Group Committee roles or would love to be a Joey Leader!!! For our registered members more details coming soon about Scouting from Home (it has been a massive week!) Take care and stay safe Yours in Scouting Sarah Austin Trainee Group Leader

24.01.2022 Email has been sent to registered members about tomorrow night. 6:20pm for a 6:30pm start- finish by 8pm. Please RSVP to Sarah via email [email protected]... Due to number limitations please only RSVP if you have completed registration. I will send out more invitations for those who have expressed interest this afternoon. Thanks Sarah

23.01.2022 Hi All, An update on the things happening at Corryong Scouts: Due to the new restrictions for regional areas from NEXT WEEK ... - all members aged 12 and up are required to wear a face mask - only adults allowed to stay will be rostered parents and leaders. - parents will be required to drop off children at the door and pick up from the door (they will be greeted by a leader or parent helper) and must be wearing a mask when doing so. We will also be changing start and finish times so we can manage our numbers... currently we can have up to 20 youth members in a space. We are close to having 50 registered. Please bear with us as we work out a suitable plan. TONIGHT IS AS PER LAST WEEK - yours in Scouting Sarah Austin

22.01.2022 Some truly great people have packed so much into their lives, including Scouting. The memory of the Mitchell family and their contribution to Scouting in Corryong will continue to be honoured, as is the contribution of so many local families. How about you? Do you have the time to commit to being a Leader with 1st Corryong and guiding the next generation to become good citizens and members of their community, with a good dose of fun and adventure along the way?... We need you!

21.01.2022 Hi Everyone, We are moving closer to Scouting face to face. In order to facilitate this there will be NO meetings next week (Thursday 5th November) so that leaders can plan what our return will look like. ... Thank you in advance. Sarah PS- Massive thank you to all for your support over this year since we started. PPS- I will be doing a lot of scout work on Tuesday (Public Holiday) so if you have sent a registration success and haven’t heard from you will shortly.

20.01.2022 Congratulations on the commencement of 1st Corryong Scout Group. Our first night was a blast along with some very special guests, Chief Scout of Victoria Shane Jacobson and the Chief Commissioner Rod Byrnes. See you all again next week.

19.01.2022 Last night we saw the 'rebirth' of Scouting in Corryong. So much has changed since that first formation of the group in 1914, why, we even let girls in somewhere along the way! But the principles of Scouting have never changed and will continue to inspire the youth of today to be the responsible citizens of tomorrow. Be Prepared.

19.01.2022 Prime News clip on opening of Corryong Scout Group. **Update - the Group has grown from 20 to 32 youth members since the first night, a fantastic outcome. Now we need more Leaders and committee members to help and make sure Scouting continues in the valley.

18.01.2022 Due to the new restrictions we will be moving to online scouting. Please bear with us as we navigate what this means for us all at 1st Corryong. Reminder no meeting for this week (6th August) face to face or online.... Stay safe Yours in Scouting Sarah Austin

18.01.2022 1st Corryong Scout Group is growing. Want to be part of the fun? Just stick The Scarf On!

17.01.2022 Calling all current and former Corryong residents with really long memories, amateur historians and super sleuths. The 21st October 1914 was the date Rev Frederick Peake was registered as the first Scout Master of the newly formed 1st Corryong Boy Scouts. The Scouts Victoria Heritage Centre was able to find a lot of records, but we are missing the following information:... - there is a gap between 1928 and 1939, where it appears the Group may have been closed; and - when did the Group close before being reformed in April this year. I'm thinking that a Centenary Celebration is not that far away!

16.01.2022 Special Invitation for Victorian Scouts to enjoy some Queensland sun this Saturday! Robert Irwin will introduce us to some of his favourite animals at Australia... Zoo, share some fun facts and update us on conservation projects we can all join! This is a unique opportunity made possible by the Irwin family in support of our Scouts in Victoria as we make our way out of the restrictions that have challenged us this year. Link to join has been sent to all Scouts Victoria members. Please PM us if you have not received. #beascout

16.01.2022 Just letting everyone know that we are not meeting this coming Thursday (6th of August). We leaders need to have a planning night. Would love to have a Joey leader to add to the team before next week!!! Working with these kids is amazing and very rewarding! Parents and Friends of 1st Corryong we need you to help us form our group committee, a president, secretary and treasurer is needed. ... Talk to you all soon - Sarah Austin (Group Leader)

13.01.2022 Hi Everyone, I wanted to first say thank you for last night, so amazing from the support from our district and region scout family, to our own new Corryong Scout family. I am extremely excited about the journey ahead.... However, I want to bring you with me!!!! (Warning this is a long post!!!) We am in need of adults who a willing to take a chance on adventure and learn together. 1) We need a Joey Leader(s)- this fabulous age group is from 5-7 years old and will meet eventually for one hour a week. You will have the support of district leaders, myself and the rest of the group. You will not be alone in this journey. This age group is wonderful to work with and so rewarding seeing them start their Scouting journey with you. No prior experience necessary just a positive mindset. I have 10 kids who need you!!!! No Scout Group is complete without a Scout Group Committee, these roles are non uniform and a great way to get involved and contribute to the growing community group. Positions are currently all vacant so we are looking for a President, Treasurer, Secretary, Parent Representative and a Community Liaison (to ensure we are out and around everywhere, and can support and be supported by our community)- Age is no limit, if you are in the area, willing and wanting to come on this journey with us you are welcome. I as Group Leader cannot do this all on my own, and need your help and support to ensure that 1st Corryong Scout Group lasts for another 100 years. If any of the above sounds like you, or you would like register your child, please contact me via email: [email protected] Yours in Scouting Sarah Austin Trainee Group Leader

13.01.2022 The Achievement Pathways are the core of the Scouting program. Virtually everything we do in Scouting from Joey Scouts to Rover Scouts is a part of our journey along the Achievement Pathways. While the achievement pathways are the same in all youth Sections, each Scout’s journey will be unique. (In the olden days we called it just getting badges)!

12.01.2022 52 years ago yesterday, a former Scout took those first steps on the Moon. Scouting prepares you for adventure!

11.01.2022 Hi guys, Desperately seeking a secretary for the Group. Main tasks will include (currently)... - registration of members and parent helpers, including following up completion of paperwork etc. - grant applications when needed - monitoring of Facebook group and Facebook page. Please email Sarah if you think this is you!!! [email protected] Ps- this is a non uniform role.
