A timely reminder ...leaders DO NOT collect fees; leaders DO NOT collect money.  For group and activity fees, all payments to go in the box. For camps, parents may arrange collection if payments are made for group purchase of food, etc.

Wanted - additional leaders in all sections. New leaders for our venturer section. Haven't heard what happens to our old scouts if the group doesn't have venturers?

Our new web address :  www.grosevalescouts.org.au
Please give this to any new potential member

New members ... please note that new chums are not invested until the Registration/insurance fee and the group term fee is paid. Payment is to be made 14 days prior to proposed investiture date and cannot be paid on the evening of the ceremony

Registration and Insurance for 2008-2009 will be lower at $78 per member. This figure continues to fall each year, in contrast to today's rising insurance climate. Due to the risk minimisation and assessments by Leaders and Instructors we continue to provide fun, challenging and yet safe activities for our youth members at unbeatable prices.

Get involved...it is your group and your kids!

Please remember...when your child joins 1st Grose Vale Scout Group, the family joins 1st Grose Vale Scout Group. The parents run the group; the leaders ensure the youth activities conform to Scouting Policies and Guidelines, and with parent assistance, the activities take place. Scouting is a family based organisation. The parents are responsible to ensure the leaders have sufficient resources to implement their programs.

...and remember, any parent can gain qualifications in the scouting movement. You can become a leader or instructor in canoeing, abseiling, bushwalking, sailing, powerboating, caving, canyoning and more. Imagine what your kids will think of you then. You can become an associate leader or a fully fledged section leader, at the same time receiving nationally recognised qualifications in Business and Leadership. Give it a go, you might even enjoy yourself!
