5th Mildura Scout Group

***ATTENTION SCOUTS***   Raft Regatta Camping has been cancelled due to rain being forecast for tomorrow. This is very disappointing but we can’t risk getting stuck in the riverbend with wet clay roads.   Instead we will be building rafts and rafting from Apex Park. Lunch will still be provided and Activities will start at 9am.  Life jackets will be provided, please bring towel, change of clothes, snacks, sunscreen and drink bottle. This would be a great opportunity for any parents to hang around for the morning to help with raft building, we can always use more hands to help. See you at 9am at Apex Park. Parents please comment on Facebook so I know you have seen this post and are not going to turn up at the hall tonight.

Meet at the Hall at 6:30pm to travel down to Nangiloc together. (A map will be posted when i can find the link.) Parents and Carers collect Scouts from the same camp site on Sunday at Lunch time for flag break and to assist with pack up.
