THE call to adventure has been sent out by the 1st Kialla Scouts Group. Children from the age of 7-14 are invited to come join the fun with the Cubs and Scouts as they mix with kids their age building resilience and confidence in a friendly environment, doing a range of activities that will teach them skills they can carry with them through life.
Kialla Cub Scouts meet on Thursdays from 6-7.30pm during the school term and is for kids aged between seven and 10. For 11 to 14-year-olds, Scouts meet on Tuesdays from 6.30pm to 8.30pm.
Cubs and scouts can find themselves learning about bushcraft while camping, about nature and the environment, going rock climbing and canoeing, as well as visiting interesting places like museums and the police station.
This year’s Scouts can take part in Jamboree, which will be held in Maryborough Queensland next January. Jamboree is held every four years and is an experience like no other when more than 10,000 Scouts from across Australia and the world meet for a 10-day camp filled with activities, challenges and endless opportunities to make lasting friendships.
There’s a three-night trial for anyone looking to join. For more information call Tish Okely on 0427 311 072.
1st Kialla Scout hall is located at the Kialla Park Community Reserve, Recreation Drive Kialla.
