Noosa Sea Scouts will host a car boot sale at Badger’s Wood tomorrow (Saturday 20 May), their first major fundraising event for the 13 Scouts selected to attend an International Jamboree in New Zealand at the end of the year.
The girls and boys, aged 12 to 15, will attend with three Noosa Scout leaders, all from the Noosa Shire.
Scout Jamborees are considered one of the world’s leading youth events and brings young people from countries all over the world together to experience a trip of a lifetime.
Scouting parent helper Ian Kaye told Noosa Today recently: “This is an amazing opportunity for these young Noosa Sea Scouts to attend a worldwide event that had been put on hold for the duration of Covid. The 23rd Aotearoa New Zealand Jamboree is going to be held at the Mystery Creek Events Centre near Hamilton on the North Island in New Zealand, and will include 10,000 Scouts from around the world. They will be experiencing outdoor activities such as canoeing and white water rafting, hiking, abseiling and tree climbing and archery, in addition to many team building activities.”
The car boot sale at Badger’s Wood, the Scout campground in Noosaville (11 Eumundi Road – just off the roundabout) is open to the general public from 7am – 1pm. Sellers are welcome from 6.30am at $20 per car with tables that can be hired on the day. All of this plus a cake stall, snow cones and barbecue.
