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.

Scouts Please Read
You will be running your practice as Patrols & are to follow the instructions of your PL, the Leaders & I shall not be running the program as we have in past years. We will however be there to offer advice,supervision & the necessary equipment.
We will ask you to do a lap of the pool first for us to assess your swimming capabity for safety. If you are not a strong swimmer that is fine the activities are to help you better your swimming skills & still participate.
This will help you establish the patrol communication you will need on the Swimming Carnival night & you can practice your patrols skills, work out what you are best at & figure out what to practice more.
Working together as a Patrol you together will increase your Patrols chances of winning one or both District Trophies ( Patrol & Troop )with your own Hard Work & practice. Not to mention the acheivement of putting your patrols name & year on one or both of the beautifully handcarved & painted Trophies that have been competed for, for over 50 years & hanging it or both Proudly in our hall until next year.
The Carnival event program has been designed to be FUN, encourage Patrol Teamwork & Participation for all capabilities. It is mainly Novelty events as a patrol.
Troop participation numbers on the night really counts towards the final scores, So I encourage you to do your best by your Patrol & Troop & come along to the carnival.
