1st Churchill Scouts - November 2023

A term of adventure at 1st Churchill Scout Unit

After our overnight hiking trip to McMahon Lodge on Mt Erica last term, 1st Churchill Scout Unit is working on our strategy and team building skills while preparing for their next camp, this time to Phillip Island.

Their first two nights this term have been about fire safety and first aid. Be Prepared is the Scout Motto, and our Scouts wanted to know more about how to be better prepared for the hotter months ahead.

On a recent joint night with 1st Churchill Cub Scout Unit, we worked together on construction, building catapults and teaching the Cub Scout how much fun can be had working as a team.

Our Scouts also recently attended a showing of Strzelecki Showtime’s ‘Our Community, Our Place’ at the Gippsland Performing Arts Centre and had a ball watching their fellow members, and Scout Leader, singing, dancing and acting on stage.

Upcoming events include swimming at the local pool, a spooktacular Halloween night where we learn about the origins of Halloween and a media night learning what it takes to write, direct and produce a movie.
