Sea Scouts celebrate 70

Back in time, early days boat the Sir Thomas Hiley.

Noosa Sea Scouts are celebrating 70 years of Scouting in Noosa this weekend with a big weekend of activities at their Badger’s Wood headquarters and campsite in Noosaville.

There will be a family camp for Joeys, Cubs, Scouts, Venturers and parents over the weekend of 20-21 August, with formal presentations and parade from midday on Sunday. Noosa Sea Scouts parent helper Ian Kaye promises plenty of fun and games, with a campfire sausage sizzle and and exhibition of 70 years of Scouting memorabilia. The formalities are for invited guests, former Scouts and members only, but the public is invited to join in the celebration through the afternoon.

Badgers Wood, Noosa Sea Scout grounds, is at 11 Eumundi Rd. For more information about the Noosa Sea Scouts 70th, email 130176@scoutsqld.com.au
