Scouts hold open day at Ettalong
The Broken Bay Scout Group will hold an open day at the Ettalong Scout Hall on Sunday, July 28, with a free barbecue from 11am to 2pm.
The open day is for anyone who would like to know more about Joeys, Cubs, Scouts, Venturers or Rovers.
Applications are open for children from six years of age (Joeys) through to adults up to 25 years (Rovers).
Scouting is open to boys and girls.
There are currently almost 100 members now actively participating in the Broken Bay Scout Group.
The group has two halls, one in Umina for Joeys and Cubs and the other in Ettalong.
The open day and sausage sizzle will be held in conjunction with a State-wide recruitment drive.
Leaders and members of the Broken Bay Scout Group will be on hand to answer questions, give tours of the hall and displays and will have application forms available for those interested in signing up.
The Scouting movement was founded by Lord Baden-Powell of Gilwell, England in 1907.
Scout membership now has over 25 million members spanning the world.
In NSW, more than 20,000 boys, girls and adults from wide cultural or religious backgrounds and with a range of abilities enjoy a wide range of activities.
The aim of Scouting is to encourage the physical, intellectual, social, and spiritual development of young people so they may play a constructive role in society as responsible citizens and as members of their local and international communities.
This aim is pursued through an active program designed to inspire young people to do their best and to always be prepared.
