what a busy weekend!

Malvern Scouts took part in the Scouting Pegasus Bay Camper's Cup competition this weekend at Omaka, as well as the Keas taking part in the National Kea Sleepover by camping out at the den.
The Scouts camped out on Saturday night and Sunday as they competed for a place in the regional camper's cup next month. Our rookie patrol presented for us, but missed line honours. They did an awesome job of dealing with all the rules of the cup coming down the field to the winners New Brighton. New Brighton had a very well laid out site with plenty of constructions and as a very old Scout I felt quite at home amongst the 'old school' tables, wash stands and roll up side tents.
The Keas bought it all on as they moved in for the weekend, the piled up pizza boxes were taller than most of the 10 wee things that came along. We had an enjoyable time eating more popcorn than is healthy for us, watching UP and giggling at the Scout Russel, and playing some games in the dark before cooking our own pancakes and cracking eggs as if we'd been doing it for ever.

Another mad idea we had for the making waves theme this term. John said why don't we go surfing, so we did.

The aftermath of the Chile water event could be felt, particularly by the lower mass Cubs who were surfing out as well as in...

Beach Water Safety

let's meet here at New Brighton Pier on the left hand side by the Whale!

We're going to learn a little about being safe on the beach, play some surf lifesaving games, and maybe have a paddle in the whale pool if we have time, we'll be running about I hope it will be warm for us and not too windy.

There is no alternative option for bad weather, so just wrap up warm and let's enjoy the outdoors

Afterwards we'll share a few hot chips unless you're potato intolerant, in which case we'll let you drink water.

Bring your camera, something warm in case it's windy and maybe a wet weather jacket. We're going walking and photographing in the bush at Victoria Park, then hope to have some time on the slide in the last of the sunlight. Leaving for home by 8pm I hope, last one off the slide is making Milo for everyone  else.

AGM, invitation to the meeting on December 14 at 7:00pm

You are formally invited to the Malvern Scout Group’s AGM

As well as the formalities of tying up the business loose ends for the year, we’re also going to doing a number of presentations, investitures and awards. The Committee and I hope you can attend with your Kea, Cub, Scout or Venturer.

While the adults go through the AGM business, we will also be running a youth programme outside for all ages.

After the clapping and the awards there’ll be time for some supper; and some official photos to commemorate and record the past year.

Please bring a plate!

We have got plenty of nominations already for the Committee roles, so you can rest assured that you won’t get picked on at the meeting to volunteer for something you don’t wish to. That said, we do still need more Leaders and Committee members. Scouting is a family business and many hands make light work.

I hope you can be there.
