At the end of Term 2 2009 we celebrated another Joey going up to cubs
in the traditional 1st Caringbah way – climbing up the rope ladder and
into the waiting hands of cubs who had a party ready for her at the
top.  Yes it was Amy H’s turn to climb the ladder and being the part
monkey she is she made short work of getting to the top and finding
the party and the food.

A good time was had by all.  Joeys when will you be going up??

Also when we returned for the 1st night back at Cubs we performed 2
new investitures – William H (new cub) and Amy H (from Joeys) were
invested and are proud to wear their new cubs shirts and of course
belong to the best scouting group in the world – 1st Caringbah.
Welcome.

Badger wishes to to thank all those, across all sections,  who participated today, as ‘washers’, having their own car washed, or as food servers.
Nathan, as the scout who  brought the project together and the leaders and a few parents  in particular put in a very great effort for long hours.

Some leaders’ efforts were exceptional and you know who you are.

Both the St Phils  and 1st Caringbah ‘discovered’ each other – to mutual advantage. The event helped make the church ‘Connect 09′ programme a reality and assisted a Vanauatu scout to get to the Jamboree.

BRAVO to all!!

Joeys learning just how much fun science can be

On the 6th to 8th June long weekend, 36 of our 1st Caringbah Scouts and leaders headed down to Camp Coutts to join over 500 scouts from all over the South Metropolitan Region to enjoy a weekend of camping, completing different tests/activities, badge activities, rockin’ the disco, watching a movie, wading around in the mud, campfire and “flame ups”, meeting other scouts and generally having an EXCELLENT time.

The leaders were very happy with the scouts who got really involved, did their best and had a stack of FUN. A number of other troop leaders told us that they were impressed with our scouts skills (especially Darcie and Vivien’s figure of 8 lashing ).

The camp awards went to:

Patrol of the Camp – Red Backs
PL of the Camp – Chris B
Best Overall Scout – Kiel R
Most positive Scout – Kara S
Most enthusiastic dancer – Leonie H

Many other scouts did well with special mentions going to (Nathan, Kara and Bridget – strong leadership). Aaron, Holly and Emilie (spelt correctly ) for great badge activity. Mitch, Nathan, Vivien and Darcie for great inter troop socialising. Robert’s Russian impressions. Kara for challenging the Venuturers for the right to stay on the dance wall .

Plus, it was great to have all the Cubs and Joey’s join us on the Sunday – we managed to get loads of photos of them too.

Lastly, thanks to all the leaders who did so much to make this camp happen. Kooka for leading the whole camp preparation, Kolo for organising the food and menu, Dingo for organising the equipment, Salty for sorting the trumpeter out, Blue Tongue for his impression of “Riff Raff” (from the Rocky Horror Picture Show), Taz for her co-ordination of the kitchen (and manning the camp fire until 230am ) Gecko for helping with camp pitch/strike and Baggy for keeping the scouts busy.

Many of us missed 5 scout characters on a green cord hike – Jess, Dunc, Kathryn, Lachy and Alex – we REALLY look forward to having you back guys.

In the words our our illustrious Dingo, “at last we beat Camp Coutts”! Until next time.

Today the Joeys brought food to the hall to be collected by Rev Stefan Bull, senior minister at St Philips, for use in the community food programme for local residents going through very difficult times. Rev Bull thanked them all and pointed out that this was exactly what the Joey motto ‘Help Other People’ was all about.
Well done Joeys!!!

27 of 1st Caringbah Joeys, Cubs and Scouts participated in the JOTT 2009 event. Jamboree Of The Trail (JOTT) is a global event where all scout members around the world participate on the same day and simply go out on a hike.

1st Caringbah took the ferry to Bundeena and walked to Jibbon Head. It was a beautiful sunny day as we walked from the warf along Jibbon beach and then around to Jibbon Head. We observed the aboriginal carvings in the rock, as well as some locals in their natural form (Jack M could not stop laughing). The scouts and scout leaders set off to take on an additional 5km hike through loose sandy terrain (ask Kolo how her legs are) while the Joeys and Cubs took the loop track back to the beach where they took off their shoes and waded in the surf.

Everyone met back at the ferry terminal for our scheduled 5pm departure back to Cronulla.

Here are some photos of the day.
