  • Early Scouting in New South Wales
    Early Scouting in New South Wales J.X. Coutts file notes. Transcriptions (where provided) from the original (all errors intact) are included for searchability. THE GAME OF SCOUTING It was in 1907 that Baden-Powell held an experimental camp on Brownsea to test his ideas which he incorporated in his book “Scouting for Boys”, and it was in 1908 that the book first appeared to fire the imagination of boys and unintentionally start a movement which spread in a few years to all corners of the earth. Today there are eight million Scouts in over one hundred countries of the world, and the number continues to grow. Scouting grew spontaneously. B.-P. intended “Scouting for Boys” to provide programme suggestions and material for existing boys’ organisations. But as a result of the book, boys all over the country formed themselves into Scout Patrols and chose Scoutmasters from adults of their acquaintance. In that way the Scout Movement came into being and Baden-Powell became its Chief Scout. How can we account for this phenomenal spread of the game of Scouting? What is there about it that attracts like a magnet, boys of all classes, colours, languages and religions? It is because the whole scheme of Scouting is based on the normal desires of the boy. It provides a natural outlet for his bubbling energy, which is harnessed to good purpose. To the boy, Scouting is fun; it is a great game played with his comrades, as campers, pioneers and frontiermen. The aim of Scouting is to produce better citizens. It provides opportunities for developing those qualities of character which make the good citizen – honour, self-discipline and self-reliance, sense of duty and of respect for others.

  • Royal Naval House, ‘Johnnies’: Some Personal Reminisces
    OCCASIONAL PAPER 27 Call the Hands Issue No. 19 May 2018 Royal Naval House, ‘Johnnies’: Some Personal Reminisces Royal Australian Naval House has always been known affectionately as ‘Johnnies’, although the origin of the name is hard to trace. From 1968 to 1970 a young Able Seaman Brian Love posted to HMAS Waterhen lived at Johnnies. These are his personal reminisces. By CPOSV (Retd) Brian Love I arrived at Central Station Sydney around eight thirty on a bright Monday morning in November 1968 in full uniform with my life’s possessions jammed into my regulation Navy issue ugly yellow kit bag slung over my shoulder. Being a 17, almost 18 year old country boy from Gippsland Victoria not having ventured far from the land of coal mines beautiful hills and dense bush, being deposited right in the middle of the biggest city in Australia was almost more than I could take, rows and rows of trains all disgorging what appeared to be the populations of everywhere and this being what appeared to be a dead end for all trains stopped at a white picket fence where the rails ceased. The trip up from Melbourne had been a sleepless night and my kit bag felt far heavier than it should. Here was a bunch of young sailors, a day earlier under the control of almost everyone at the place everyone wanted to get out of, HMAS Cerberus. We were out, proud in our uniforms and ready to take on the world. As to be expected, all were in a mood for celebration so the night up was one to remember.

  • Call the Hands
    CALL THE HANDS Issue No. 8 May 2017 From the President Welcome to the 8th edition of Call the Hands, a newsletter for Society members and the broader Navy Family. If you feel others will enjoy it please pass it on. Our objective is to increase understanding of Australia’s naval history in the community through publication of Call the Hands and through the Society’s website. To this end I am pleased to report two examples of success in this endeavour during April. Firstly, after publicising the East Arnhem Regional Council’s invitation to attend a commemoration ceremony for the loss of HMAS Patricia Cam on Anzac Day, I was delighted to hear that word of this event had reached members of ERA William Moffat’s family and that 5 members of the family intended participating. William Moffat was one of three sailors and five civilians killed as a loss of the bombing of Patricia Cam. A detailed story about HMAS Patricia Cam is currently being researched by Walter Burroughs for publication in the June edition of The Naval Historical Review. A second wonderful experience was a response from Erika who received Issue 6 and responded to my call for volunteers to assist with Society initiatives. Erika’s remoteness from Sydney is not an impediment to the value she adds by working over the internet. Her contribution is making a significant difference. Should you to have time to give and an interest in volunteering, please contact the Society for options. Finally, this month we celebrate the 47th anniversary of the Naval Historical Society of Australia which was formed in Garden Island on 25 May 1970.
