17.01.2022 PLEASE BE ON THE LOOK OUT.... Not Happy New Year. Kallangur Scout Group have had their equipment trailer stolen from our facility at John Oxley Reserve Murrumba Downs sometime between the 20th and 27th December. Registration is CZ1799. It has been reported to Police. The theft of this trailer makes planning for our 2020 youth activities very challenging (because running a Scout Group is smooth sailing to begin with). Without this trailer, the range of activities the youth of the Group can undertake are very limited as they tend to need a great deal of equipment when they get out and about. Please share across your networks to hopefully flush it out.

06.01.2022 Congratulations Telisha!! On the weekend, Telisha received her Queen Scout award, surrounded by family, friends and fellow Scouts. Amazing effort by this bright bubbly young lady! Rarely leaving her side were some close members of her Cub family, where Telisha has been a Youth Helper for several years. These Cubs, with Telishas help, have recently each achieved their Grey Wolf.

03.01.2022 Dear Parents / Carers, Below is a message that was posted on the Scout Australia site. It gives insight into the lives of your leaders and we encourage everyone to read it - Please. An insight into the world of a leader:... WE ARE ONLY LEADERS We are only leaders - we are not experts we are your next-door neighbours we are not perfect, some are parents just like you. We dont have any more spare time or energy than you do, we all work and juggle our families and our schedules and try to keep it all together as best we can. The only difference between us is that we believe passionately about what Scouting has to offer. So much so, that we contribute our time, our efforts and our talents to help our children - and your children - grow in Scouting. We complete authorisation forms, budgets and records and fill our homes with boxes of paperwork you will never see. We are required to take 13-20 hours training in our first year as well as planning meetings every month so we can meet our greatest challenge providing a variety of programmes and activities which meet the needs and interests of very individual boys and girls. We try to involve parents who want us to understand that they dont have the time to drive on outings or help at meetings. We rejoice in the generosity of others. Sometimes we find ourselves going in too many directions we run out of steam we have memory lapses - communication lines break down time slips by but that doesnt mean we dont care. So many evenings we spend on the phone seeking help and advice from other leaders when disappointments or problems occur. How do I hold my Scouts attention?. How do you cope with Scouts of different skills levels? Our dining tables are covered in bits of rope, menus, permission forms and record cards for each and every member of the Group. A couple of them wont show up and dont think to call to let us know sometimes we feel unappreciated. Yet these boys and girls can fill us with pride at their determination and accomplishments. Their smiles and laughter fill up a room, and when they say thank you it makes it all worthwhile. We help these boys and girls build relationships. Some struggle more than others. Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly.all these traits are encouraged by the Scout Promise and Law and sometimes we too must learn these lessons over and over again with the Scouts but we are willing to keep learning. Please be patient if we appear distracted or frustrated or overwhelmed at times. Forgive us if we are not always the kind of Scout Leader you would be - if only you had the time. Instead, provide us with your encouragement a kind word, a thank you or offer us your help. Keep us always in your thoughts and prayers. We are, after all, only mentorsrole modelsleadersvolunteers who have made a Promise to give these young people, your children, the most precious gift we have to offer the gift of time See more
