16.01.2022 Today marks the beginning of National Child Protection Week, where we acknowledge the many ways big and small we can all make a difference in the lives of c...hildren and young people. This year’s theme, Putting Children First, highlights the importance of prioritising the safety and wellbeing of children and young people. At Scouts Queensland, we are committed to putting this into practice. Empowering our children and young people is at the heart of our organisation and underpins all the work we do and the decisions we take. We are committed to safeguarding the youth in our care, and creating an environment where all our members are safe, supported and protected. For more information about how we achieve this please see our website.

16.01.2022 Rather appropriate for Halloween....

16.01.2022 Introducing Blue also known as "Daddy Blue" to the original Mulgrave Venturers. Blue has been there for every step of Madison's almost 9 year scouting journey. ... First as her Scout Leader, then as her Venturer Leader and finally as a mentor and valued friend. It just wouldn't be right to have an MTMB committee without Blue and we are honoured to have him on our team as we travel this new path in Madison's Scouting journey. #mtmb #fnq_scouts #scoutsqld #scoutsaustralia #scouts #community #giveback #nonprofit #volunteerappreciation #Leaderappreciation #thankyou #MadisonTamMemorialBenefit

16.01.2022 And we’re off! Waiting for you to arrive!

16.01.2022 Linking of Joey to Waingunga Cubs ceremony. Welcome Joey and Samuel.

15.01.2022 Scout leaders are all volunteers who give up their time to help and guide our youth members through their scouting journey. Every week they show up in a multitu...de of ways. Leaders celebrate their youth members achievements, encourage them when they struggle and offer an ear to listen when needed. Madison was lucky enough to have Super Sam (left) and Blue (right) as her leaders for 4 and 7 years respectively during her time in Scouts and Venturers. They weren't just her leaders they were her mentor's and became her very respected friends. #mtmb #fnq_scouts #scoutsqld #scoutsaustralia #scouts #venturers #community #nonprofit #giveback #volunteerappreciation #leaderappreciation #thankyou #MadisonTamMemorialBenefit
