Term 2 has begun and so far the Scouts have been bowling, learned some fire safety skills and updated their first aid skills. Still to come this term is indoor rockclimbing and an outdoor survival skills night. I'm very proud of the Scouts this term, in particular the Patrol Leaders who have stepped up and taken charge of the Troop, well done!
Just a reminder to parents that the A4 health from is due back with updated details and fees are due too.

Some Scouts come to me and say that they can't go on a camp because they can't afford it. I can very much relate to this! Money doesn't grow on trees and these days we are all working hard to make ends meet, some more than others. So how can a Scout learn a valuable life lesson from this situation? Many of you are too young to have a job but some of you might be able to do a paper round for example. I know I did when I was 14 and it gave me some much needed funds as my parents were not that well off.
"So what can I do?" you ask; you could become involved in fund raising. As a Scout you can do lots of things and our Scout Restaurant is just one fund raising idea that your Patrol Leaders have come up with for this year.
If you have some great fund raising ideas then speak to your Patrol Leader, then we can all enjoy the Scout Camping experience without having to re-mortgage our scooter or bicycle!

Term Four has started with a bang, this term we have a Halloween Disco and a Christmas Social. The section programs are packed full of Summer fun!
Would you like to be a Leader? Scout Leaders get to do everything Scouts do, we have just as much fun. The Atwell Scout Group desperately needs some more Scout Leaders for all Sections, Joeys, Cubs, Scouts. If you are over 20 years of age and enjoy the outdoors then please
contact usto find out how you can become a Leader.

Well, another Term comes to a close. We are now starting into finer weather with Spring well under way and school holidays looming. Hopefully some Atwell Scouts will make it to the Royal Show and help out at the Scouts WA stand.
Hope to see you all next Term at Joeys, Cubs, Scouts and Venturers!
Nighthawk was a success on the weekend. A BIG thank you to the parents that took over three hours out of their weekend to drive Scouts and Venturers to the event in Beverly. Thank you to the Venturers that helped out by being part of the Security team, a very important role that they performed very well.
