Grampians Hike 2009

By
With Raft Race come and gone, its now time to get ready for our next big camp... The District Hike. This year the leaders of the district thought we’d do something different, so we’re packing up and heading to the Grampians for the long weekend in June. It was last done back in 2002, and it was a huge success, so it was thought that it was about time that we did it again. We will only be doing day hikes, so you won’t have to lug all your stuff all over the Grampians. This will be a great opportunity for those who need your nights under canvas for the Jamboree, and may also count for your hike for the Red Cord.

Dates: 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th of June (Queens Birthday Weekend)
Cost: $55 which includes the bus trip and a much needed shower on the Sunday. It does not include food, you will need to bring your own HIKING food (no steaks!!)

As seats on the bus are limited, we will need to know who definitely wants to go, and your money by Friday 17th April. We don’t have any Scout nights before then, so you will have to drop in and see John at his office (above Hudaks Bakery on Eighth Street). It’s first in best dressed for the bus, and we wouldn’t want to miss out on this excellent opportunity. When we have definite numbers, more notes will be handed out going over where we would be staying and exactly what you would need to bring. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask. Email me jaimie_rodd@hotmail.com or call me 0439015504.

Apologies for the late notice.

    I hope you all can make it. I went when it was held way back in the day (like 2002) and it was awesome fun! Hopefully I'll be there again!

ROVER CAMP - CALL FOR HELP AT PACK UP (All Troops in the District)

By JL
As everyone is aware, Rover Camp is a huge production, put on by local Rovers and Scout Leaders. The camp takes at least a week to set up. We need your help to dismantle the campsite, pack trailers and transport these trailers back to the Nichols Point Scout Centre. We (the Scout Leaders) are asking for 2 parents from each Troop to stay on-site from 1pm until the camp is fully dismantled and all trailers are packed and ready to roll out. If we have sufficient helpers, this should be completed by 5 or 6pm. The more helpers we have, the earlier we can all go home (and collapse). If some of the volunteers have vehicles capable of towing trailers back to Mildura, this would be of great help.  We suggest that you come out to the camp, say hello to your Scout, then send them home with another family who will drop them home. When you arrive at the campsite, please report to the kitchen tent where you will find Dave Macey, he will direct you in the pack-up.  Please comment below if yo...
