Coming up they will be learning about mess kits & citizenship, plan & cook a meal from another culture, going to visit the RAAF museum and learning how to pack a rucksack.
The Anzac day march was held on the 25th April and Irymple had a great turn out and they all had fun, thanks to all those who attened and all well behaved.
Wednesday the 19th May is the Distric Roller Skating night (no scouts thursday night) where all the other scout groups in our distric get together and have fun and even some of the leaders get out on the rink and have a bit of a skate(which will bring back alot of memories) LOL.

GangShow 2010

Hi Everyone.


Once again Gangshow is up and running for another year. Gangshow is for all youths registered in either joeys,cubs,scouts,venturers,rovers,leaders and guides. This is my 4th year in Gangshow, but 1st in the senior cast. Auditions were in february. Rehersal are now underway as everybody have been put into patrols. My patrol name is Kermit. Rehersal are held on a tuesday night and some weekends at the Nichols Point Hall. The differnce between junior and senior cast is, junior cast do 2 performances and  is for 7-10yrs and senior cast do about 9 performances each and is for 10yrs+. The things i enjoy about Gangshow are, catching up with other troop friends, new friends, dancing, singing and building my confiedence. So far we have learnt 2 acts and the songs that go with that act, it is realy enjoyable learning dances to my favourite songs.
More news to come from other members of Irymple who are involved.


Regards
Brianna Egberts Kermit Patrol.
