Scouts to go to State rally

The Umina Scout group has progressed to the NSW State Rally following a successful weekend at the Hunter and Coastal Region Scout Rally at Balickera Park just north of Raymond Terrace on May 22 and 23.

There were over 450 Scouts in total at Balickera Park over the weekend, made up of nearly 90 troops.

Scout leader Darren Watson said the Umina Scouts did their best, and as a result came very near to the top winners in the region.

"I am so proud.

"All the training and time the leaders put in is worth everything when you see a result like this.

"The theme this year was 'Back to the Past'.

"All the activities and challenges were based on this theme to give the Scouts the ultimate fun weekend.

"Their outstanding achievement has earnt the troop from Umina the opportunity to attend the State Rally to be held at Cataract Scout Park in August," he said.
