Logan District Cub Camp 2014 |

It's the camp all the Cubs in Logan have been talking about. Weekend at Noosaville 23rd May 2014.
Why was it so good? The activities were interesting, fun, active, by the beach and helped towards lots of Cub Badges. Five of Logan's scout groups attended making it one big social event too.
 I asked Cubs what was their favourite activity and they all said different things like the Canoeing, Fishing, Making a Wilson, campfire, skits, night games, making boats, damper twists, drizzle sand castles plus plus. Rikki and the leaders put together this camp with the theme of 'Castaway', so luckily, it was perfect weather for a deserted island camp with 62 Cub Scouts - Wow. A diligent team of parent helpers made sure the kids had plenty of good stuff to eat - mmmMM, baked lamb cutlets.
 Our group of intrepid Cub explorers did most of their award scheme requirements for the fishing badge and canoeing badge - Yippee.
Lots of thanks to Noosaville Sea Scout Leaders John, Ian and their three scouts for their help and keeping the canoeing activity running well and safe.
And parents wasn't the coach just terrific; Saved a 4 hour round trip for drop off and again for pick up so we could get the best environment, Noosaville, for our camp. After 2 hours on the bus our youth members were ready to burst into the action.
Cubs rallied for a night game before bed. A quick start on the Saturday morning in wonderful day of activities followed by yet another good feed, skits then campfire and games. Of course this saw all of our happy little campers asleep in good order. Sunday was packing up early so we could all concentrate on another day near the water's edge. This time the activities were in the park. It was wonderful that Parents heard so many good things about the camp from their cubs. Leaders received compliments humbly from Cubs and Parents, but inwardly it makes us feel it was really worthwhile. |

ANZAC Day “Lest We Forget” |
|
|
|
|
 Today (25/4/14), we heard about the gift we have been given by soldiers past, dead, alive or suffering after each war. They preserved our culture, not domination. Reverend Mary talked about domination by one person over another, or between countries, religions, political views, races or even to refugees.
 Logan district scout youth turned out in strength with all the colours of the sections bright among the parade. Overhearing an applauding bystander, “it's a sea of yellow”, referring to all the Cub's shoulders, as all the sections paraded past to Springwood Park.
Starting off the day light heartedly these Scouts were models of scouting in the parade. Lots of our youth carried the memories of forefathers gone, showing medals of soldiers past. “We will remember them”.
It was a good day for all, with excellent contributions by school bands, singers, the bugler, speakers, the catapult soldiers, and the RSL. The District and Group Leaders seemed pleased with the turn out and behaviour of Logan District Scouts.
Thank you scouts, parent/carers and leaders attending this important event – Lest We Forget. |
