Hello Scouts and Parents,
19th Camberwell have been very fortunate to be one of five other troops invited to the 1st Highton ANZAC Anglesea Adventure. A mountain of work has gone into the organising of this well run event and it promises to be an action packed camp with lots of cool things to do. This is also a perfect camp for our new scouts to get involved in…
· Scouts will depart the hall Saturday 23rd April morning for Eumeralla Scout camp Anglesea.
· We will be one of five other troops at the camp with an expected total of 50-60 scouts.
· Scouts will be sorted into daytime activity patrols with other scouts from different troops, (You will get to meet other scouts and make new friends from other troops). Our scouts will be sleeping in tents with their own 19th Camberwell scouts at night.
· Activities include;
· Geocaching, which will be exciting with an interesting challenging course prepared.
· Raft building and paddling across the Barwon River.
· Pro surfing lessons with the very experienced Westcoast adventure surf school with wet suits and boards supplied.
· A 10am an ANZAC service at the Anglesea RSL is being held in which a couple of Highton scouts are doing a speech as part of the service.
· There will be a yummy menu prepared for this camp with homemade pizza, baked apple tarts and more.
· Campfire at night with marshmallow toasting.
· We will return back to the hall on ANZAC day, Monday 25th at 4.30 pm
Cost is $65 per scout. $20 per leader/adult helper. There are a limited number of positions available so it is first in best dressed.

Also these events take a lot of behind the scenes organising. Tjon and I cannot do this alone. Thank you to those parents who have helped with camps in the past, with this camp we need two parent helpers. It would be great to see those parents whose children are new to Scouts, or existing parents who have never been on a Scout camp, to help out. Please let Tjon or myself know if you are available.
