Working Bee - Thanks!
A big thank you to all the people big and small who contributed in whatever way to the Working Bee at our hall. An amazing amount of jobs have been done. We can all be very proud of the work we put in. Some of the things that got done where:
The picture is from a moment halfway the day where we had all the Q-store contents out and it was a bit of an organised chaos, but we managed to put it all back again :-) Thanks again for all your contributions. Whatever it was, big or small, it is very much appreciated and we can all be very proud! |
World Scout $ Day 2010The 1st of August 2010 is World Scout $ Day. The Scouts Australia National Chairman David W. Jones AM FCA started this project and in the video he talks about his inspiration for the project. The aim of the project is to raise $66,000 to support the Food For Life project in the African Region. That sounds like a lot of money, but is essentially just one $ for every Scout in Australia. On the 1st of August we have our Working Bee and we ask you to bring a $ to support this Food For Life project. |

Roonka Survivor Group Camp
We hope you all enjoyed the camp this last weekend. The weather has certainly be kind to us (except Friday night was a bit chilly). It was great to see so many families getting involved and participating and hopefully made some new friends in the process. We have setup a small survey about the camp and we are also looking for some feedback for a possible future camp. |
Incredible turnout on Anzac Sleepover
This ANZAC sleepover was possibly one of the largest if not the largest sleepovers at the Magill Scout Hall we ever had! In addition to the Magill Joeys, Cubs and Scouts we also hosted a considerable contingent of Stradbroke Joeys, Cubs and Scouts and some more from Beaumont Scout Group. Well over 80 youth members were tightly packed not only in the main hall, but also in the den downstairs, on the stage area and in the meeting room. With significant rain during the night we feared a bit for the weather during the ANZAC service. However, during the service the weather was completely dry and the the new memorial at the Gums reserve was a stunning setting. The Magill RSL expressed their thanks for the large turnout of Scouts and Guides at the service. Some photos of the event are available at http://flickr.com/gp/gregories/6nz33J |
78 years and still going strong!
During some research in the Magill Scout Group archives we found what probably is one of the oldest pictures involving Magill Scout Group. This one is from 1932. Wel over 78 years ago. In this picture Magill Scout Group is ready to depart for a camp on the Onkaparinga River, Oakbank. If you are one of the people in the picture or recognise any of them, we would love to hear from you. Click on the picture for a better look! |

Another $3000 grant!

The money will be put to use for the purchase of some much needed new tents for all Sections, some hiking backpacks for the Scouts and other camping gear. A big thank you also to the parents that put in the effort of applying for the grant! |
Successful Working BeeA big thank you to all those that participated at the working bee or donated to help cover the costs. It was a very successful day (even though it was slightly wet)
The hall certainly looks cleaner and better for their efforts. Thank you! |
