Attention Groups, Districts, Regions, Crews, and Fellowships... Wednesday 14th April has been designated Scout Day at the 2010 Sydney Royal Easter Show. This is the final day of the Show and young people attending on this day can get a ticket for $11.00. The day falls in the NSW school holidays and the Chief Commissioner felt that this was a perfect opportunity to showcase Scouting to our target audiences. Now that the date, time and location have been confirmed, Scouts Australia NSW is seeking interest from those who wish to participate on the day by supplying the ideas and materials for an interactive activity. The activities should target Cub and Scout ages and provide the opportunity for large numbers of young people to participate throughout the day. We are seeking 75 Adult Members including Rovers to help on the day to cover a variety of jobs including set up, running activities, managing registrations, helping with the Street Parade. Your commitment to a 5 hour shift would be appreciated. If you are interested in supplying an activity or willing to help out on the day, please email rosalie.batistoni@nsw.scouts.com.au or call 0421 079 903 or 9735 9034. Come on and join in the fun at 2010 Scout Day at the Show!__________________________________________________________________________ GREAT AUSSIE CAMP OUT The Great Aussie Camp Out (GACO) will bring together thousands of Australians for one big night where they will share the experience of camping out under the stars … in their back yards, on a river bank, in a camp, a National Park, a caravan park - in fact, anywhere they might feel like! With the long-term goal of promoting healthy active lifestyles by encouraging individuals, families, friends and clubs to enjoy the great outdoors, GACO will coordinate a one night 'camp-out' across the country with the aim of introducing people to the fun and adventure of camping out. People will be encouraged to stay at a residential camp or caravan park, pitch a tent, sleep under the stars, grab a barbie, organise some games and get away from their normal weekend routine. It is anticipated that a range of come'n'try activities will also be offered on the day of the GACO by community groups such as Scouts/Guides, bushwalking clubs, canoeing clubs. Residential camps will also be able to offer activities such as high ropes, flying fox, atlatl and archery. National Parks could arrange to have Park Rangers on duty to conduct interpretation activities for the night. In this way participants will be able to sample adventure activities and experiences in the outdoors in a controlled and supported environment. There will be plenty more information coming soon about the Great Aussie Camp Out so stay tuned.
