Even though the Walking Club members are prepared to give of their time and talents without stint when an emergency arises, a proper review of the position by a com­ petent authority could only be of advantage to both the searchers and the lost party. We believe that the Victoria Police have some ideas on this subject and trust that they will obtain the necessary terms of re· ference to implement a thoroughly considered, efficient scheme, 2. EDITORIAL. CONCERNING SEARCH PARTIES. The various bushwalking clubs, through their co-ordinating body, the Federation of Victorian Walking Clubs, have of recent years taken part in a number of searchers for persons lost in the bush. The initial organised effort in this direction was the participation of a party of twelve in a search on Wilson's Promontory, following the Easter of 1949; but the most recent search, that at Mt. Baw Baw in June of this year, involved literally hundreds of searchers for a period of ten days. The searchers comprised large numbers of Forestry Officials, local people, service personnel, Rover Scouts, Ski Club members, and Walking Club members, the total Walking Club personnel involved being of the order of two hundred, with a number of man-days spent in the field of up to one thousand. From these figures it will be seen that searches have become major operations, the impact of which cannot be ignored by the community. By the very reason for their existence Walking Clubs are one of the best sources of recruits. Their members frequent the areas in which such searches inevitably take place, and, perhaps what is more to the point, take a keen interest in their surroundings. During an actual search they comprise the majority of the field parties and provide most of the field leaders. When the need arises their services are freely offered, and they would be the first to baulk at any suggestion of pecuniary payment; but initiation of a search poses a dilemma for the individual: to go or not to go? On one side he feels that his personal knowledge and abilities could be vital in saving a life, while on the other side are economic loss to himself and/or his employer, with maybe chaotic dislocation of the latter's activities, and dislocation of his own family and social commit­ ments. Nobody will deny the human necessity of conducting searches. While the bush is there people cannot be "controlled" from going into it-and those who get lost are, almost without exception, casual visitors to the fringes who accidentally wander farther and are least equipped to deal with the situation (an organised search has never been necessary for any walking club party). In the present state of affairs some form of Governmental policy seems to be required to help the individual in his choice by adjudicating on a fair thing between employer and employee. Morally both might claim that the monetary cost should be borne by the community as a humani­ tarian service. There might also be considered the possibility of some alternative scheme. It might be possible to concentrate a small number of Walking Club volunteers and offer them facilities to get extra train­ ing, and so provide a smaller, but highly efficient body of searchers. Such a scheme would undoubtedly appeal to the younger, more robust members, just the ones who could best be spared from their employment. Alternatively, an army commando might be established with the specific peacetime task of coping with such emergencies. It would be good train­ ing, and modern transport would make their services quickly available anywhere in Australia, The use of mechanical equipment or trained 3. (Opposite) To people the world over Christmas means many possible things. But to children almost everywhere it would not be complete without Christmas trees, and those of us who have enjoyed an English Christmas no doubt have many recollections of lighted Christmas trees in front room windows. To Australians, however, Christmas-time is holiday-time, bringing to Bushwalkers in particular the event of the year, an extended walk in some of our remote and still inaccessible mountain country. During such a Christmas trip, there is ample opportunity to observe and study our own 'Christmas Trees' and the natural beauty that goes with them. It was with these thoughts in mind that I set off last December from Licola on my first long walk after several years overseas. Since leaving Australian shores, I had heard much discussion on the relative beauty of our native eucalypt and its forests, and the exotic trees of the English woods. Drab, monotonous, unchanging were some of the expressions I heard used about our eucalypts by both Australians and overseas visitors alike. But were they really justified? I was not so sure. Was it per­ haps lack of real perception that evoked such comments? Anyway, here was a chance to revisit my old haunts and see for myself. We spent the first night at Barkly Bridge on one of those occasions when a tent is hardly necessary.

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.

  • 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.
