Reptiles encounter Cubs!!
Magnificent incursion on the last night of term 1 with our own reptile visit. Cubs were super curious and respectful to the reptiles that came to visit, and the reactions to some of the more exotic creatures was priceless! Some brave Cubs pushed their fears aside and held animals that they did not think they could! Well done to all. and well done to Matt for finding Olivia from https://www.lovemelikeareptile.com/
Cub Hike to Lake Lysterfield
On August 25th the Cubs hiked around Lake Lysterfield and up to the highest point overlooking the lake. The Cubs trekked nearly 13 km that day!! Well done to all and for the Leaders and parents support.
Who put the Damper on our evening?
Damper making was the order of last night. And boy did it get exciting when a fire truck descended on us. Apparently someone thought we were setting fire to something other than charcoal. Luckily it was smiles all round! Cubs loving every minute of drama. But of course it’s always safety first, so nothing to see here, but fun and delicious damper! We also welcome Mikael as a newly invested Cub and Simon as a newly invested Leader of Cubs
MasterChef 2024
The annual event that is MasterChef has returned with a venegance last Thursday. Patrols cooked their little hearts out to present Leaders with winning dishes. Who won…? Well I’m not sure, but I did not get any calls about food poisoning (no mushrooms were harmed in the making of these dishes).
Claire & Matt Tie The Knot
We love a happy ending, we love a happy beginning too. Really this has a bit of both. When two beloved leaders marry we smile. We’re happy. So much so we bought them a chunk of hardwood with a river running through it, and then engraved our love into it. We hope that whenever charcuterie calls them they think of us.
Scouts Bay Ride
Scouts enjoyed a beautiful sunset by the bay as they rode from North rd Brighton to Port Melbourne and back.
Cubs Save Leader!
So Cubs learned more about knot tying and making useful things like a stretcher, which tonight was used to save a very heavy Leader (no offence Matt) from danger!! As you can see with team effort Matt was brought to safety.
Cubs Bike Ride
Cubs rode the Djerring Trail tonight on a beautiful March evening!

The Fantastic Race 2023

Cubs this week 21 March 2023
Cubs made stretchers using wooden spars and rope. As you can see they would be handy in an emergency. Thankfully in this case Olivia was our test victim (errm, I mean ‘patient’) and remained in good health throughout her ordeal! 
Scouts this week 23 March 2023
Scouts last night focused on building fundamentals. Our Scouts recently attended Stradbroke Cup where they were assessed on the quality of their camping. Tonight we started to grow skills in other areas with the senior Scouts teaching construction techniques to our newer members, and culminating with the construction of functional bushcraft furniture.
In One Voice 2023
Getting the word out about our wonderful group was easy at the In One Voice festival. We ran a “build the largest tower from spaghetti” competition and boy did people try all kinds of structures! At the same time we were able to tell people why they need to try Scouting in 2023! More than ever kids need an outlet that isn’t screen related…Scouts is the answer!
Congratulations to Shifra for winning our competition. She has won a $50 Anaconda gift card.

Scouts Achieve Gold at Cohen Shield 2022
Cohen Shield 2022 is done and dusted. Both our two patrols achieved Gold! Well done to all our Scouts!
Cohen Shield is an annual assessment based camp set at Bay Park in Mt Martha. Scouts must be fully self-sufficient in setting up camp, maintaining camp, preparing meals and completing their Cohen Shield tasks, which include bushcraft, bushwalking, cooking, Scouting skills, environment and first aid.
Big thanks to Gary, Matt and Saul for supervising our Scouts over the weekend.
Bingo a Go Go
Bingo on Saturday night was a fun night for us all to get together and play old school Bingo. Out Scouts ran games in between and I reckon it was a super low-tech night of fun and laughter. Thanks to all for coming and to Sharon Cohen for organising the food, drinks and gifts. Thanks to the parents for the donations towards the gifts. And a big thanks to our caller Gary for his cheeky Bingo calling.

Looking for Cub Leaders
10th Caulfield Scout Group in is on the lookout for new leaders for their Cub Scout section (children aged 8 to 11). This volunteer position would be ideal for someone looking to add youth leadership to their CV.
Scouting provides young people with essential life skills, from problem solving, outdoor skills to leadership opportunities. As a leader you would be supported by our existing leaders and parent helpers, supplemented by Scouts Victoria’s extensive e-Learning platform. We give you room to grow with face-to-face courses run by Scouts Victoria to further expand your skills.
What are we looking for in you? History with the Scouting movement would be ideal, but enthusiasm and a desire to see young people thrive is paramount. Make contact and we’ll have a chat.
We are looking to onboard new leaders starting mid-June 2022.
If you know someone, or want to know more:
please contact Gavin Arndt
groupleader@10thcaulfieldscouts.org.au or phone 0405 199 004.
Sascha Bajayo achieves the Queen Scout Award
Well done to Sascha Bajayo for reaching this Venturer pinnacle. Sunday (29/5/2022) was a fabulous night celebrating all that Scouting has to offer. Sascha embodies all the opportunities Scouting has to offer, from local environment action to the greater international world of Scouting. I hope Sascha will come back as a leader and continue to be a great ambassador for Scouting (and 10th Caulfield) for years to come. Kol hakavod.
