With Raksha and Yabbie going up to scouts at the end of Term 4, it’s important to have people prepared to take over the section. I know Raksha is keen to assist these new leaders and to see the section prosper. Regards Jeff Butterworth (Numbat) Burleigh Heads Scout Group 32 Stephens Street Burleigh Heads.

We didn’t sell as many tickets as I was initially hoping for (more people go away for school holidays than I thought!). However, we finished up with 49 people and had a great night. The den was decorated and looked a treat. I was very pleasantly surprised when I turned up at the den early Saturday evening to finish off preparations to find a number of people already there with their tables set up with lots of wonderful food. There were ten rounds of questions. Some hard, some easy. The music round was very popular but no one was able to identify them all! The bottle of 12yo Glenfiddich was a very popular prize in the coin-toss game. I am sure some people could have bought a bottle themselves but it made for a good, rowdy bit of fun. The Eight Heads were the night’s run away winners. For their efforts they received a bottle of wine and a small bag of goodies. We received many wonderful prizes to give away on the night. Thanks go to the following companies and families: Cosmetics Fragrance Direct (http://cfdirect.com.au) Burleigh SLSC Avon – Sharon Duncan 0412 647 855 Gold Coast Tennis Coaching – Rowan Hollond Tallai Hair & Beauty Stocklands Burleigh Heads Alan Goodwin Rose Way - Ezy-Way Eggleton Family A big thank you to everyone who attended and made the night a great success. We raised $1114 which was a pretty awesome result! While having a parents only night was great fun, there were a number of kids disappointed they couldn’t attend. Next term we plan to organise an evening with a more family friendly format. We hope to raise some funds but it will primarily be about having a good family night. Stay tuned for details. Patrol Boxes Wednesday night scouts received three new patrol boxes purchased with the $150 Bunnings gift vouchers reported in the last newsletter. The scouts were excited to receive them and wanted to know when they were going camping. In future weeks they will work out how they want to fill them and get themselves ready for some serious camping activities! Burleigh Heads Scout Group Triv ia Night! Burleigh Heads Scout Group Region Commissioners Dinner Address – NYC As the current Queensland Branch Appointment to the Scouts Australia National Youth Council (NYC), I was recently called on to deliver a short presentation at the Region Commissioners Dinner on 15 September regarding my experiences on the NYC. All of Queensland’s NYC members were in attendance and the function offered an ideal opportunity to answer an important question: namely, what is the NYC? For those who are unaware, the NYC is comprised of 25 youth members in the Scout, Venturer and Rover sections from all around Australia, who are selected on an annual basis for a maximum term of three years. The primary purpose of the NYC is to formulate recommendations, from a youth perspective, to the National Team or National Operations Committee on discussion topics put forward by members of these committees or other members of Scouts Australia. NYC members are placed in patrols of 5-6 with elected patrol leaders, chair and vice-chair, who form the NYC executive. NYC members who are Branch Appointments have the additional role of communicating the council’s activities and intentions to their Branch and vice-versa. I have held the position of Queensland Branch Appointment since March 2011. The four other Queensland NYC members are Harley Miles, Simon McMahon, Xanthia Dubler and Zoe Beikoff-Bray. In my time on the NYC, I have helped complete a range of patrol discussion topics, including a review of youth- perceived exciting activities, an evaluation of Venturer participation in national Jamborees and a cross-section award scheme review. Other topics for which recommendations have been devised in 2011 and 2012 are the design of the Jamboree Patrol Leader Booklet, the design of a Scouts iPhone App and the feasibility of an Australian Outstanding Scout Award, similar to the Asia-Pacific Regional award. Please let me know of any issues or ideas regarding Scouting that could be addressed by the NYC, as we are always on the lookout for more discussion topics. Alternatively, to submit a topic for discussion, the NYC executive can be contacted via email to [email protected]. Further information regarding the council is available on the NYC page on the Scouts Australia national website, the link for which can be found under the National Youth Program menu item. My experience on the NYC has been extremely rewarding and empowering. The opportunities for growth in the skills of leadership, team management and logical analysis have been of great benefit and, combined with the unique experiences offered to NYC members, enriched my Scouting journey immeasurably. Ryan Kidd [email protected] Regional Commission Bob Campbell, Ryan Kidd (Burleigh Heads), Simon McMahon (Ashmore), Chief Commissioner Kirsty Brown. Burleigh Heads Scout Group Joeys HOP Burleigh Joeys had some great times with the Nerang Joeys this term with the Billy Cart Rally and Joey Olympics both hosted at the Nerang scout den giving our Joeys an experience of the wider community of Joeys that help make up the region. The billy carts were re-assembled, with some minor improvements and a new coat of paint, all done by the Joeys themselves with some help from parents. These billy carts once again proved highly competitive in both the ‘bush’ and high performance ‘open’ categories allowing the Joeys to triumphantly return the trophy to Burleigh for another year. Individual trophies were also in great supply with an outstanding performance by Loki with two (2nd & 3rd A finely-tuned racing cart! place) trophies. The racing was enjoyed by onlookers and included some nail biting, hay bailing moments from the daring Joey drivers. Many of our Joeys had never driven a billy cart before, least of all on the hay bale lined downhill course set up outside the Nerang den. Some high speed crashes were inevitable however safety was a priority and all the well padded Joeys finished the day unscathed and ready for the next challenge. As participation is the main goal of the event it didn’t really matter that Nerang didn’t have many Joey drivers (there was one) to race ours but we hope more can make it next year to put up a better challenge for the trophy and have a good time with us. Canungra camp Other events with Nerang included the Joey Olympics, and Show days which were hosted alternately at Nerang and Burleigh dens. At the Olympics night the Joeys were mixed up and played many outdoor games based on an Olympic theme. The Joeys all received hand made medals for their participation. At the Show day they enjoyed games and craft with a farm-animal theme. The other big event was the Region Joey Sleepover at Canungra den and camping ground. This event was attended by many Gold Coast region Joey groups, as well as Nerang & Burleigh, and allowed the Joeys to experience camping in a communal tent, a first for many, where all Having a splash in Canungra Creek the Joeys were in their own tent.

  • The History of the Scout Wood Badge
    The set of six wood beads belonging to Robert Baden-Powell The history of the Scout Wood Badge The Scouts (UK) Heritage Service December 2018 Since September 1919 adult volunteers in the Scouts have been awarded the Wood Badge on the completion of their leader training. The basic badge is made up of two wooden beads worn at the end of a leather lace. This iconic symbol of Scouting has become shrouded in myths and its origins and development confused. Having completed extensive research using the Scouts (UK) heritage collection we have pieced together the story. The components of the Wood Badge: The Wood Badge’s design took inspiration from a necklace brought back from Africa by Scouting’s Founder, Robert Baden-Powell. In 1888 Baden-Powell was serving with the British Army in Africa. During this period Baden-Powell visited an abandoned camp where Chief Dinizulu, a local chief had been based. In 1925 Baden-Powell recalled what he found, ’In the hut, which had been put up for Dinizulu to live in, I found among other things his necklace of wooden beads. I had in my possession a photograph of him taken a few months beforehand in which he was shown wearing this necklace round his neck and one shoulder.’1 Assuming the necklace was the same one as in the photo Baden-Powell took the necklace as a souvenir of the campaign and always referred to it as Dinizulu’s necklace. Baden- 1 How I obtained the necklace of Dinizulu, told by the Chief Scout, 1925 – the Baden-Powell papers Powell admired Dinizulu describing him as “full of resources, energy and pluck,” characteristics which he would later call upon Scouts to develop.

Both Janet Moseley and Pennie Withers continue in their roles as treasurer and membership secretary, respectively.
