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.
Walk the Platypus Track from Excelsior Ave to Loyalty Road Flood Retarding Basin at the Darling Mills Creek and back.
Please wear full uniform to the pool with your swimmers underneath with your $4.70, give this along with your SIGNED E1 to your PL or if they are not currently there your APL or eldest member of your patrol.
Bring a bag with a towel & change of clothes as well.
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.

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.
