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.

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).

Joey/Cub Fun Day on the Water
Mar 9 @ 08:30 – 15:30

To register at https://events.greaterwestscouts.com.au/event/208

Meet at Lake Parramatta at 08.30 for a day of picnicking, fun and games paddling in a clean, calm, flat water environment. Participants will need to wear uniform to and from the venue and bring the following: – Lunch, Snacks, Drink, Water Bottle, 2 towels, a change of clothes, warm jumper, water shoes, knee pads or thick foam(for kneeling in the boat they have a hard bottom), rash vest, swimmers, boardies or long shorts, goggles, sunscreen, and a hat.  Participants and parents without water shoes, sunscreen and a hat will not be permitted to participate. Please do not be late as parking is not plentiful (in fact less plentiful than before as some of the car park has become picnic area).

There is a cafe on site and BBQs (which book out pretty fast early in the morning)

Joey Scouts must be accompanied by a parent for the day. Cubs may be accompanied by a leader or parent. Cub participants should be able to tread water, float and swim a minimum of 25 metres using any stroke whilst wearing a life jacket.

Groups are encouraged to bring along Group Canoes, life jackets and paddles.  SIS water activity qualified guides and leaders will be present to help novice paddlers.

We will have a few games where you can practice your skills and have some fun.
