Parents - A Great Experience For You And Your Kids
If you were a Cub, Scout, Brownie or Girl Guide, you'll remember the fun of weekends camping in the bush, ghost stories around the fireside, and the pride of taking home a new achievement badge to be sewn on your uniform. Perhaps you can still remember how to tie a sheepshank, or how to make damper.
You've never forgotten the words of the Promise...something about "doing my best and helping other people" wasn't it? You'll probably want your kids to have the same fun and learn the same skills.
Even if it's all new to you, you'll find Scouting is still great fun for you and your kids. Scouting isn't just somewhere else to drop the kids. It's a chance to grow up with them...and that's a great experience for both of you.

Uniforms are required and may be purchased at the Scout Outdoor Centre. |
