Cub Scout and Joey Scout Night Ramble

Last night saw the Cub Scouts and Joey Scouts come together for a night ramble around Beenleigh. This was a get to know your City ramble.

The members were given clues to locate aroind Beenleigh. Items to find were a Pizza Hut menu, Video Ezy magazine, train timetables, highest PO Box number at Beenleigh Post Office, plus many other fun things.

The night provided a chance for them to use manners and learn to wait patiently and ask for items without fear. These are all lessons that we have to learn and conquer as we get older.

Bagheera got in trouble for using his compass - not an actual compass - but his general idea of the area. Unfortunately Google Maps provided some help as the round about in the heart of.Beenleigh is a good basis for directions. Sort of helps if you inform others of it first. :-)

In the end we walked around for 1.25 hrs and ended up with a bottle of water amd hot chips from Red Rooster. The members, and those assisting, seemed to enjoy this activity.

Bagheera would like to thank my fellow leaders and parent helper, Joey leader and helpers, plus the two Cub leaders from Ashmore, as well as all the parents that came along. Your help on the night was invaluable and we have plenty of lessons for next time. One is to advise Police of activity, mind you they were in god spirits all night with sirens going off everytime they saw us out.

To the businesses that allowed us to take over stores; Video Ezy, Pizza Hut, Beenleigh Train Station,  and Police. Thank you for your patience and caring attitude as we came through, it was duly noted.

A special thanks goes to Coles Supermarket who supplied water for us as a gift, and to Red Rooster for the donation of the hot chips also.

To the young lady at the deli in Coles, your patience when waiting for the youth members to provide the words to earn the reward, is greatly appreciated.

And all I have left to say is bring on Christmas Ramble 2012 - Let's find Santa!!!
