The Top Five Reasons Your Child Should Join Scouts
According to the Australian Rural Doctor, the key reason children should join Scouts is because they learn about leadership, planning and preparing themselves and others.
A second reason kids should join Scouts is because Scouts are encouraged to become independent thinkers with an emphasis on initiative and problem solving.
Joining Scouts can also expand children's horizons through allowing them to make friends from other countries as well as participating in student exchange programs, aid programs and international conferences.
Children learn to look after themselves - they learn how to cook and wash their own clothes.
Finally, kids are not wrapped in cotton wool. They learn to push their limits in the company of friends, in a controlled and risk-managed environment.
(This was written by Dr Michael Rice, a GP from Beaudesert whose three children were all involved in Scouts and he was a Venturer leader at the time of writing.)
Scouting is back in 2020
Woodridge Scout Group will be returning 4th February 2020 and we are keen to find new members and to have new members find us and scouting.
This year we are very excited to announce the return of our Venturer Section. Venturer Scouts will meet on a Monday night starting at 7pm. All other Venturers in our region also meet on a Monday as a big part of this section is meeting up with others. Venturers are aged 15 to 18 years. Venturer Scouts work in Units with others and are responsible for their own direction with assistance from the Leader as required.
You don't need to have been a scout before to join Venturer Scouts.
Come along to a section night and enjoy two free nights before making the best decision - to be a scout!
