24.01.2022 Meet the Members of Gateway! Hello there! My name is Rob, Gateway’s assistant unit leader. How long have you been a member of gateway?... I have been a member since Nov 2017, almost 3 years now. What do you like about being a Rover/part of Gateway? I really enjoy the social aspect of Rovering. Being amongst kind, supportive and convivial peers really keeps me keen to see what fun activity we have coming up on Tuesday or on the weekend. Favourite Rover event you have attended? Recently, I attended an amazing hike on K’gari (Fraser Island) planned by the wonderful Pandora Peers. The serenity and natural wonders were truly spectacular. I recommend this walk to everyone. Do you have any Rover related goals? Absolutely! So many ahaha. I hope to get along to a basic rover training course in the next 6 months. Beyond that I hope to achieve my BP Award by the end of 2021. Nice to meet you, Robert! Who will be our next Rover introduced?

24.01.2022 Zoom zoom! On Tuesday we went go karting! Another fun night around the track! Jeffrey came first but the rest of us were right behind him with only a few seconds’ difference over the finish line between us! Thanks to our friends at Slideways for a speedy night!

24.01.2022 Did you know this year’s season of Redlands Revue is online? Check out the Redlands Revue YouTube Channel to watch a selection of skits and songs, bloopers and backstage interviews from the 2020 season!

24.01.2022 Meet the Members of Gateway! Hey Trilby! Trilby is our unit secretary and she’s been with Gateway for two years! ... What are your top three favourite things about being a part of Gateway and Queensland Rovers? 1. I always look forward to our bi-annual crew camps. I’m not the biggest fan of camping but ill always make sure I attend our winter and summer crew camps! I love going to the beach, hanging around the campfire and out for dinner. All around a great time with my unit. 2. Being a part of the executive team - this is my first role within the unit and although secretary can be a bit stressful at times, we recently had our quarterly business meeting and it was completed in the fastest time yet! 3. Being with such a great unit I’ve met so many new rovers and friends since I started in 2018, although we have different goals and ambitions within the movement, we always end up a having lot of fun together! Favourite Rover event you have attended? Is there one you are looking forward to attending? I loved the St Georges Ball I attended in 2019. Any opportunity to dress up looks like a lot of fun to me! I’m also excited to participate in the Ireland World Moot in 2022. Do you have any goals whilst in Rovers? I recently achieved my St Georges award which was my main goal in rovers. I’m hoping to achieve some more badges in the future whatever they may be. I’m also looking into participating in a few more training courses so I can take up some more leadership positions within our unit. Nice to meet you Trilby! Who will be our next Rover introduced?

24.01.2022 On Tuesday, Gateway held a business meeting! We hold one every term and they’re a great opportunity to catch up with badgework, fundraising ideas and other unit projects. Congratulations to Trilby for achieving her St George’s Award! We love your work!

23.01.2022 On Tuesday, Gateway went rock climbing! Jeffrey has recently been ticking off some rock climbing hours towards his physical badge and wanted to show us his skills! We had a great time, check out our photos!

23.01.2022 Last weekend, we held a working bee on our Knighting spot! It’s been a long time coming and we really pulled together as a Unit to finally show it some serious tlc! There were plenty of tools, dirt, concrete, splinters and bruises! It was hard work but we are so glad she’s ‘done and dusted’! ... Check out our photos from the weekend.

22.01.2022 Over the last week, Heather and Lauren embarked on a 6 day adventure with Alex, Todd and Georgia from Downlands. They hiked the Carnarvon Gorge Great Walk which was 87 kilometres for Heather's physical badge! The Great Walk is about an 8 hour drive from Brisbane. The hardest part for the group was climbing the Battleship Spur. Overall, it was an incredible journey with hot days and cold nights and some of the group are still recovering! ... Gateway are so proud of Heather for finishing her Physical Badge - she's one step closer to completing her BP Award! #roversdostuff

22.01.2022 On Tuesday, Gateway held a business meeting! Congratulations to Trilby, Robert, Caitlin, Tom and Amanda for receiving badges! Heather also received her St George’s Award, marking the end of her badgework journey. The meeting was filled with plenty of badgework proposals and progressions - we’re sure they will be many more to present at our next meeting!

22.01.2022 On Tuesday, Gateway's Annual Scavenger Hunt was held! We had teams from Mt Cotton, Ironbark, Marsden and Capalaba join us for a competitive race across the finish line! Well done to Capalaba for taking home the trophy for the second year in a row and a big TY to TJ for putting the hunt together this year!

21.01.2022 Tonight Gateway pulled out the hot glue gun and craft supplies! We made pins to wear on our shoulder knots! There are plenty of unique designs (as you can see) and we had lots of fun creating them!

21.01.2022 On Tuesday, Gateway were taught a few Karate moves with help from Sensei Michelle and Sensei Robert. It was hard work but we were able to learn the basics and we are now able to appreciate the art of Karate and the dedication it takes to master it!

20.01.2022 Last weekend, Gateway helped out at ‘Aladdin Trouble’! It’s Scouts Queensland’s newest on-stage production which has been in the works for the last year. Darcy was on stage, Trilby was behind the scenes doing makeup and costumes and the rest of us were out the front serving meals and drinks. ... Well done to the cast and crew on a fabulous production!

20.01.2022 Meet the Members of Gateway! Hello, Caelan! Caelan has been a Rover with Gateway for one year! ... What do you like about being a Rover/part of Gateway? I love being a Rover, I get to spend time with my Unit every week. Our weekly nights are always interesting and diverse. It’s been a quiet year for events but I like taking on activities that are challenging and that help me out of my comfort zone. Favourite Rover event you have attended? Is there one you are looking forward to attending? Business Meetings with Gateway are exhilarating! We held one last week which i definitely enjoyed! I’m looking forward to attending my very first Banana Bash next year, I haven’t had a chance to drive Carbie or Wreckless yet but it looks like a lot of fun. Do you have any Rover related goals? I’ve recently started planning my Adventurous Journey of riding 932kms from Sydney to Brisbane next year (in other words sore legs and pure pain) and achieving my BP Award. Keep up the great work, Caelan! Who will be our next Rover introduced?

20.01.2022 On Tuesday, Gateway played some communication and character building games! We put together puzzles, played charades and enjoyed being apart of a team!

19.01.2022 On Tuesday, Gateway got back to basics! We were taught some survival skills from Lauren, which included packing a survival kit and learning to signal using different methods! We also built chariots, a free standing flag pole and spaghetti bridges! ... Take a look at our photos!

19.01.2022 Today was moving day for Gateway! Our girl, Carbie and most of our crew equipment was moved from Wynnum Den to Hemmant Den. We have found a place for all our things but still have a long way to go before we can call Hemmant Scout Den our home!

16.01.2022 Meet the Members of Gateway! Hello, Amanda! Amanda is Gateway’s Squire Master and she has been a member of our unit for 2 years! ... What do you like about being a Rover/part of Gateway? I love being apart of Gateway Rover Unit because we’re such a welcoming, fun and loving unit and we are always up for an adventure. I enjoy spending Tuesday nights with the unit, no matter what the activity is. As a rover, I get to experience a number of camps and service opportunities I would never have had the opportunity to - especially Banana Bash. Over the past 2 years, I feel as though my confidence has developed and I have met so many wonderful people inside and outside of the unit, which I absolutely love. Favourite Rover event you have attended? Is there one you are looking forward to attending? My favourite rover event so far has got to be CBR moot!! Despite the bushfires, sickness and the Moot being cut short, it was such an enjoyable experience. I made so many friends from all around the world and am still in contact with them to this day. Despite the challenges, I managed to achieve my Open Water Scuba Diving certificate, which was an absolutely amazing experience. Do you have any Rover related goals? My main goal in Rovers is to have fun and seek adventure, as well as meet new people at every event I attend. I would also like to achieve my BP award within the next few years! Nice to meet you, Amanda! Who will be our next Rover introduced?

Running isn’t a strong suit for Trilby but she began training with various exercises, different running stratgies and attempting to run 5km three times a week. ... Thanks to some motivation, a virtual running challenge (where you can receive a medal) and the support of her dad, the running group Blood, Sweat and Beers, and her Unit, Trilby was able to complete her 10km in 1 hour, 14 mintues and 48 seconds! Trilby has enjoyed her running journey and Gateway are extremely proud of her achievements!
