Scouts look for work

Umina Scout Group will be out and about during the week of May 8 to 15 looking for jobs.

Scout Job Week is an annual event which has run in NSW for over 55 years.

Jobs can be for the individual or if a local business can provide a worthwhile project that will involve the whole group then it can be booked in at the scout group.

The funds raised are used by the scouts to update equipment such as tents, canoes and abseiling gear and to help fund scout activities such as annual camps and jamborees.

The scout troop is also busy preparing for the Regional Rally in mid-May which is held in the State Forest just north of Raymond Terrace.

The group will be holding a family night and its annual meeting on Monday, May 9, from 7.30pm at their scout hall in Carawa St, Umina Beach.

Children aged 8 to 14 years and their parents or guardians have been invited to attend.

The cubs and scouts will be showcasing some of their craft and cooking talents and toasting marshmallows throughout the evening.

The scout group is wanting local residents to become involved with the group.
