Happy Founder’s Day!

Celebrating the incredible legacy of Lord Robert Baden-Powell and the life-changing impact of Scouting. From its humble beginnings on Brownsea Island in 1907 to a global movement of over 57 million members, Scouting continues to inspire, challenge, and empower young people around the world.

I dabbled in Cubs and Scouts in my youth but never very serious but, as an adult, I've found it to be the perfect blend of community service and youth work.

I'm proud to be involved with Scouting and hope to continue for many years to come.

1st Caringbah Cub Scouts xmas party. During the final "see you next year" talk to the kids, I asked them to tell me their best part of the year. Abseiling, canoeing, "when Bagheera fell in the water at camp", etc.

But two kids said "Joining scouts!", and to be honest, that was the answer I was most touched by.

I've had a very successful Cub Scout night recently and thought I would share the program if anyone fancies having a go.

* Red Hill Night Walk *
We did a short 2.5km hike, planned and led by a senior Cub. We stopped every now and then to learn a few things. There are lots of notes in the program to share with Cubs.

We included an interactive Jungle Book story with about 12 cubs - On the Trail of White Hood (10 min). We also invested a 4 Cubs at the summit.

The program is 1 hour 45 min.

I spent the weekend at an Advanced Leader Training course. 18+ hours of face-to-face training packed into two days!

We covered difficult conversations, project planning, personal development, activity risks, balanced programs, adventurous activities, spirituality and much more...

I'm feeling inspired and galvanised by the training and am very keen to finish my project and get my Wood Beads!
