Calendar
Scouts will be needed to help put up the Scout dining fly, Flagpole for the Rotary Club Australia Day Celebrations.
This is a service that 1st Winston Hills has performed for our community for many years with the scouts skills & enthusiasm showcased to the community.
Many people have made the Great decision to become Australians & have taken the Oath to our Country under a WH Scout tarp over the years as Scout & Guide members perform the flag ceremony.
Be sure come along in your full Uniform & get stuck in to loading the trailer straight away as soon as you get to the hall ,then we must have everything up & ready by 7.40 am. Then you can exchange holiday stories & enjoy your reward of breakfast for your efforts.
As usual we will need at least 2 teams 1 for the Dining Fly and 1 for the flag pole.
Please do your best to attend the more scouts to help the better.
The activity is nominated to end at 11.00am but sometimes runs overtime.

Closure of Small Pools
During Joey and Cub Events District Leaders and assigned parent helpers will provide supervision at the small pools. Pool staff will be directed to close the small pools that are not in use immediately after the joey and cub activities finish. There will be no supervision for younger children when the Joeys / Cubs carnival finishes and parents are directed to make arrangements to either supervise the younger ones themselves or take them home and return to collect the Scouts at the end of the night. It is considered too dangerous for younger siblings to be running around the pool area unsupervised by their parents.
Meet at Hall at 9:30am with Uniform and Gloves
PLEASE NOTE the night is WEDNESDAY 6th March and an earlier finish time of 8:15.
DO NOT drive down the driveway as the house is at the end of a long shared driveway. We will meet on the footpath next to the driveway to 42b Linton Street at 7.00pm and then walk down together. Cubs can then be collected at the house, 42b Linton Street Baulkham Hills.
There is ample on-street parking.
While Leaders relive their youth Cubs will learn about the inner workings of Pinball Machines, their electronics and how LEDs work. The presenter is a Northmead Cub Leader who has over 19 (yes you read correct, not a typo) Pinball Machines in his rather large house.
Parents are most welcome to join their Cubs (for a trip down memory lane).
If they are lucky Cubs will also have the opportunity to play the machines (after being shown how by the leaders).
