Committee meetings are open to all parents to attend. Our Group is keen for the views of all parents - Joeys, Cubs, Scouts, and Venturers to be heard. Attending  the Group Committee meeting is the perfect avenue for you to voice any concerns you may have. All parents (not just those on the Committee) are invited to attend the monthly Committee meeting.

Group Committee meetings are held monthly. Check the calendar for current dates.

For more information contact Group President, Julie Bonaccorso.

The role of a Scout parent

It takes a lot of caring, enthusiastic parents to make a Scout Group work.  A Scout Group can only exist as a result of parent involvement. When you sign your child up to become a Scout Member, not only are there certain expectations on your child, but also  the family. It is expected that you will be able to support your children by volunteering to help out in various ways.

We need parents to train as Leaders, we need parents to serve on the Committee to make sure all the jobs around the Scout Hall get done, we need all families to help with fundraising. Without funds we cannot train new Leaders, run the hall, or replace worn out equipment.

We need parents to serve on rosters - Kanga at Joeys, Rikki at Cubs, BBQ, lawn mowing. This may sound like a lot, but if we all pitch in and share the load the work is not too hard, some of it is even fun.

We can only offer the best Scouting experience for all our Joeys, Cubs, Scouts, Venturers, and Leaders, if we have the active support of all families.
