A Big Start to 2025 for Lower Burdekin Scouts

March and April have been busy months for the Lower Burdekin Scouts.

The Scouts started March with swimming nights, followed by a visit to the Burdekin Men’s Shed. Other activities were:

· A cooking night

· Fire Lighting night

· A night erecting tents in preparation for a camp to Magnetic Island.

· Knot tying night

· Harvey Norman BBQ stall

· Easter Raffle stalls

The cooking night involved making damper and creating handmade pasta with a tomato and mince sauce.

The Easter Raffle involved two days outside Harvey Norman Ayr and a day outside Woolies Ayr. The scouts would like to thank everyone that purchased tickets as they helped to raise around $1,000 towards camp costs and Scouting fees.

The Lower Burdekin Scouts meet on a Thursday night, 5-7 years meet 4-00 to 5-00pm and 8-18 years meet 5-30 to 7-30pm. People can come along for four weeks free to Try Scouting by contacting Rikki on 0419 104 035.
