The leaders have decided that due to the wet weather, we will NOT be going to Steve's Bend at Trentham Cliffs tonight. We will instead meet at the Scout Hall as usual. 7-9pm. Survival Skills.

Dear Scouts and Parents, As per our Term Programme, next Wednesday May 22nd, 5th Mildura Scouts will be having a ‘Survival Skills’ night at Steven Munro’s River Bend. Scouts will need to find their own way out to Trentham Cliffs and back again but parents are invited to stay for the duration and assist with activities or keep warm by the campfire. Scouts need to bring a torch, green book, pen, mozzie repellent and wear warm clothes and their scout scarf. Parents should bring a chair if they wish. Steve’s Bend can be located through GolGol, approximately 200 metres before the Trentham Cliffs Caravan Park on the left hand side. Also, Rays Tent City has offered a one off Scouts and Guides shopping night, which may benefit you before the scout hike. This will be held on Wednesday May 29th from 6pm – 8pm. Scouts will continue as usual at the Scout hall from 7pm til 9pm. Scout leaders will be at Ray’s from 6pm til 6:45pm before heading to scouts. Please have your bike and helmet ready for a

I forgot to include one important piece of information on the BLOG for tonight's roller skating night (But is is on our Term 2 Program). The Scout Leaders thought that it would be fun if the Scouts from each Troop dressed up in a theme. 5th Mildura Scouts theme is MAGIC. Other Troops are probably going to arrive in fancy dress (if their leaders remembered), so if you have some sort of MAGIC costume that you would like to wear, please wear it tonight! Remember to still wear your scarf somewhere! See our previous blog post for all tonight's details .

Evening All!!! We have a BBQ scheduled for the 8th of June. As it is the Queen's Birthday long weekend, can you PLEASE let us know ASAP if you CAN'T attend! Being a long weekend, this could be a good money spinner!!! I know we go on quite a lot about money and fundraising of late, but I really can not stress enough just how important this fundraising is to our group - significant repairs need completing and we simply don't have the funds lying around to use. Every effort that each of you make is appreciated, and do not go unnoticed :) -Caitlin

Morning All! The meeting that was to be held on the 15th of this month has been cancelled. I will re-schedule as soon as possible. A MASSIVE thank you goes out to everyone who sold raffle tickets. We raised a total of $500! Which I think is a stellar effort! - Caitlin
