At the State level, we don’t fundraise. But we put tens of thousands of dollars into the Scout Monster Raffle so Groups can raise around $600,000 each year. For a smaller investment we support the Groups that raise hundreds of thousands of dollars through Christmas tree sales. And our staff assist with grant applications that bring in hundreds of thousands more. At the State level our role is to support you. And we can do more as our membership grows. At the State level, one extra member per Group would generate an extra $1 million that we could plough into hall improvements. (As a result of the State election we have more than 25 Groups with significant building and renovations coming.) There are so many compelling reasons for growth. Please consider them in your planning at Group Council and Group Committee. Make 2019 the year to Grow Your Group. The year you run LeaderBuild for the first time (or the second time for new families, and older youth) to bulk up your Leader numbers. The year you I begin 2019 as I ended 2018, by thanking you, and all our aim to get every Section to its optimum - at least 15 Joey Scouts, volunteers and supporters, for your contribution to Scouting. 24 Cub Scouts, 30 Scouts etc. The year you use the Mob Start resources to open a Joey Scout Mob. Or another Section: a You are changing lives for the better by ensuring that more second Cub Scout Pack, or your own Venturer Unit. The year young people get to enjoy Scouting. We always knew that you get your Group Support Committee running like the Board of Scouting was a force for good, but now we have data - the BHP (with no directors’ fees, but excellent coffee and cake). 2018 survey by Resilient Youth Australia (see Australian Scout, November 2018, pp 12-13). Victoria is Australia’s fastest growing State. Scouts Victoria needs to at least match the State rate of growth. In reality we should Following the November 2018 election, significant Government be aiming to grow the youth participation rate in Scouting. We funding will flow. The promised funding - from both sides of are the biggest State in Scouting but we don’t have the highest politics - is partly the result of Scouts Victoria’s 12 consecutive participation rate. Let’s make that our goal in 2019. years of growth. Our size makes us more attractive to government. Brendan Watson OAM Another benefit of having more members is that we can drive Chief Commissioner down the cost of Scouting - at the Group level, at the State level, Scouts Victoria and right across Scouting. (It’s also easier attract more adult volunteers, as Leaders and Committee.) The best fundraiser any Group can do is to get more members. Sadly, some of our current problems are administrative: • Groups not responding quickly to new member enquiries • Groups that are slow to register new members • Groups not “accepting” new members after their parents complete the registration process • Sections not keeping families fully informed about the program The reverse of this is, of course, booming Groups that always seem to have lots of youth members, lots of adults to help as Leaders or in other roles within the Group, and adequate funds because (a) they have many members to share the cost of running the Group, and (b) they have many families to help with fundraising.

    Scouting Heritage Merit Badge Workbook This workbook can help you but you still need to read the merit badge pamphlet. This Workbook can help you organize your thoughts as you prepare to meet with your merit badge counselor. You still must satisfy your counselor that you can demonstrate each skill and have learned the information. You should use the work space provided for each requirement to keep track of which requirements have been completed, and to make notes for discussing the item with your counselor, not for providing full and complete answers. If a requirement says that you must take an action using words such as "discuss", "show", "tell", "explain", "demonstrate", "identify", etc, that is what you must do. Merit Badge Counselors may not require the use of this or any similar workbooks. No one may add or subtract from the official requirements found in Scouts BSA Requirements (Pub. 33216 – SKU 653801).

  • Scout and Guide Stamps Club BULLETIN #313
    Scout and Guide Stamps Club BULLETIN Volume 54 No. 5 (Whole No. 313) SPECIAL CENTENARY EDITION SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER 2010 1 Editorial Well we got a bit better timing with the last issue and, hopefully, will do even better still with this one. It is interesting when one considers “club” publications and their timing, etc. Like most people I am a member of several clubs including, amongst others, The Great Eastern Railway Society. This is an historical society which studies the railway which built the network throughout East Anglia here in the UK. I was instrumental in founding the Society back in 1973 and it has always been one of my interests. The Society publish two magazines, both on a quarterly basis - on alternate quarters throughout the year. The people there don’t seem to get so hung up on the dates of publication because I have just received the January, 2010 issue of their Journal. I mentioned the forthcoming World Jamboree in the last issue and our attempts to share a base / stand with the International Badgers Club. We have now finally heard from one of the organisers, who has been given responsibility for an Historic Exhibition at the event, saying that we are welcome to assist but we must become members of our National Contingent for IST and apply through that. Needless to say the UK has long since selected their Contingents so we have had to reluctantly decline the invitation - but have offered assistance if there is anything particular which is needed. I will end this editorial with thanks for the small supply of new articles and a request for more.

  • Participating in a World Scout Jamboree Or World Scout Moot
    Participating in a World Scout Jamboree or World Scout Moot World Scout Jamborees and Moots are the centerpiece of International Scouting. Scouts who participate in WSJs and WSMs often reflect that the event was the ultimate Scouting experience, and transformative in how they view sother cultures. I’ve met many Scouts and Scouters who have attended WSJs. Everyone has a story about how the Jamboree experience resulted in life-long memories, insights, and friendships that changed their life. Many of us who volunteer in international scouting do so because we want others to experience the magic that happens at World Scout Jamborees and Moots. Adult unit leaders play a critical role in these events by: - Recruiting Scouts who would benefit from World Scout events and encouraging them to register for the events. - Assisting Scouts with fundraising activities, including unit fundraising, grant and scholarship writing, and finding work opportunities that might help with their funding. - Promoting these events 2+ years in advance so Scouts and their families can plan (and save) accordingly. - Considering volunteering as a Jamboree unit leader. World Scout Jamboree The World Scout Jamboree is a 10 – 12 day camping experience that is held every four years. The 25th World Scout Jamboree will be held August 1-12, 2023 in SaeManGeum, South Korea. The 24th World Scout Jamboree was held in the summer of 2019 at the Summit Bechtel Scout Reserve in West Virginia, USA. The 25th World Scout Jamboree host, the Korea Scout Association, expects more than 50,000 Scouts and adult volunteers from more than 170 countries to attend the next Jamboree.
