Members of the Lower Burdekin Scout Group have spent a Saturday morning connecting with residents at the Ozcare facility in Home Hill, sharing conversation, memories and a cuppa.
Chris and Edith from the group visited the facility, speaking with residents for around an hour and giving them an insight into the modern scouting program. Discussion centred on the Scouts’ active outdoor focus, particularly camping and community involvement, which sparked plenty of interest among residents.
Many also reflected on their own experiences with scouting and guiding in earlier years, drawing comparisons between past programs and the activities undertaken by today’s Lower Burdekin Scouts.
The visit forms part of the group’s ongoing commitment to community engagement across the region.
Looking ahead, the Scouts are preparing for one of their biggest annual fundraising efforts at the Ayr Show next month, where they will once again take on management of the show carpark.
The Lower Burdekin Scout Group meets every Thursday from 5.30pm to 7.30pm at 57–59 Twelfth Avenue, Home Hill (behind the swimming pool). New members and volunteers are welcome to drop in or contact Rikki on 0419 104 035. A four-week free trial is available for those wanting to try scouting.
