Frank Vickery Community Service Dec 09

Many of Joey’s, Cubs and Scouts headed out to the Frank Vickery retirement home to cook up a BBQ for the oldies, serve them dinner, clear away the table and chairs and then sing carols to them.

Baggy did a short speech on our Scout Group and the excellent state of Scouting in Australia and we were surprised when the oldies cheered after he said “As leaders, we are working hard to create programs that offer our youth members the opportunity to get away from the virtual world of X-Box, playstation, TV, and DVD’s and give them the real world experiences of gliding, powerboating, canoeing, waterskiiing, caving and rockclimbing”.  It seems the oldies were very pleased with this

We then headed outside for the Joey’s and Cub’s to enjoy a rough and tumble and then we all headed home.

It was great to do this community service and see the pleasure in the “oldies” eyes
