Scouts Australia International
🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🎉🎉🎉In just over 1 year the Australian Contingent will depart for the 22nd New Zealand Jamboree. The Jamboree “Solve the Mystery” will take place at the Mystery Creek Events Centre near Hamilton in the centre of New Zealand’s North Island.
We have been working in cooperation with Scouts New Zealand to ensure that this will be the best international experience it can be for our Scouts.
There are many things unique to a New Zealand Jamboree. They are smaller in size, about 4000 participants, the activity program, menu and ceremonies are organised by youth members and some of the activities are not seen at Australian Jamborees. I emphasise that this is a dedicated team of Scouts and Venturers that have responsibility for setting the Jamboree program, what we eat, how the ceremonies are conducted and a few special surprises thrown in.
Australian Scouts will be formed into Patrols from across Australia and be assigned an adult leader before being placed into a New Zealand Jamboree Troop. The Kiwi’s are friendly people and many friendships you will make from this experience will last forever, so I encourage you to apply, especially if this your first international Scouting experience. For leaders within the troop, preference will be given to Scout Section Leaders and any spaces to be filled by leaders from other sections if necessary. There is also extensive opportunities to attend in an activity/support role.
The Australian Contingent will depart Australia on 26 December 2019 and fly to Auckland, staying for 2 nights at the University of Auckland before transferring to the Jamboree which runs from 28 December 2019 to 7 January 2020. All applicants must join the Contingent in Auckland on 26 December 2019.
⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
On 8 January 2020, most of the Contingent will return to Australia however for those who are game enough I dare you to apply to join the Post Jamboree Tour aka the PJT. This will be 8 days of culture, fun and activities which include white water rafting, theme parks and visits to some of New Zealand’s natural wonders.
💲💲🇦🇺THE AUSTRALIAN CONTINGENT FEE 🇦🇺💲💲
For the Scouts, the Australian Contingent Fee for the Jamboree, including all activities, meals, accommodation and air/land transport is $3000, for others ie Venturers, Rovers, Leaders, Other Adults, the Australian Contingent Fee is $2350.
The fee for the PJT is an extra cost yet to be confirmed.

Greetings everyone.
Via discussion at the district level it has been agreed that tomorrows (Saturdays) planned Xmas party event at Cables has been POSTPONED due to scheduled very wet weather and thunderstorms.
Yes, we're scouts and a little bit of water never hurt us - but as a family event not all you "muggles" are equally equipped to deal with inclement weather 🙂
Perhaps more importantly the thunderstorms and threat of lightning could very well mean that the event would be shutdown anyway - and if we DID go ahead and the park stayed open but people chose not to come because of the weather they'd "lose" their money.
Yes, we understand that whatever date is chosen for a do-over (likely February sometime - TBA) may not be suitable for some. Of course refunds or group "credits" will apply in that instance.
Cheers,
Moose.
Tonight is our last scout night for 2018.
Please bring $5 cash for pizzas and drinks.
Water fight & Movie night.
It’s been a tad wet over last couple of days but we’ll play it by ear tonight.
Bring water guns, rashy or t-shirt, enclosed shoes to get wet, swimmers, plastic bags, towel, spare clothes to change into and shoes.
Camp chair, Matt, bean bag for movie.
We have snacks organised.
.
Cubs - Just a reminder there is no Cubs tonight.
We hope to see you all at the district Xmas party on Saturday at Cables Wake Park.

Venturers have had so much on lately we have forgotten to post all the great stuff we do. This weekend we were at Nelson Bay swimming, snorkeling and sailing. Some of our other activities this term have included visiting Cumberland Land Conservancy for a spotlight tour, Liloing at Yarramundi, having Kristen who is deaf visit and teach some basic Auslan, abseiling, hiking and attending the annual region camp ‘Waratah’ which this year was themed around Harry Potter.
Cub parents - Thursday night Glenmore Pack -
Don't forget we are meeting tomorrow at 23 Lethbridge Street hall at 8:30am for our Treetops adventure walk.
If you haven't already, register on line for the cheaper price.

Hi everyone.
An email was just sent out through CareMonkey to all members/families as an “end of year newsletter”.
Perhaps the most important part is that there will be a fee increase of $5/term/member for next years fees along with advice that the “active kids voucher” scheme will run again next year. Put it into your calendars NOW to make sure you register for it in early 2019.

Attention all please register for the district Christmas party before it closes at 17.00 this Saturday. Parents must register as either spectators or participants. The group will bill you through the mormal processes after registration close.

One of the most joyous things about scouting is celebrating achievements of our youth members.
Alex was presented his Cub Scout “grey wolf” award tonight in front of 60 odd guests from our group and all over Penrith City Scouts district.
I’m so proud of Alex from our Glenmore Cub pack (and in fact his entire family who are all involved with the group) and every other youth member who #LearnsByDoing achieving their own personal goals.
Here’s a couple of photos from tonight.
