Beenleigh Scout Group Newsletter Jan 2015



Welcome back to all our members for 2015. I hope you all had a great Christmas and a wonderful start to 2015 and are ready and raring to go from January 27. This newsletter has some details for the year ahead and I encourage all to read this. I will try and keep it as brief as possible.
 
 Start Dates
  • Cubs & Joeys - January 27
  • Scouts -  January 30
  • Venturers - February 2
Fees for 2015
 
Due to an increase in our general operational costs. We have had to increase the weekly fees to $8 which means a term fee of $80. This decision has not been taken lightly.
 
Member renewal fees for 2015/2016 year will be:
  • $121 for first family member
  • $116 for second family member
  • $111 for all other subsequent members.
These fees must be paid by March 15, 2015 or chances are your youth member will not be able to attend scouting activities.
 
Venturer Scout parents -  Due to the later start due to the public holiday this term, to minimise effort to recalculate fees the section will be provided a free activity which the Venturer Unit will decide upon to use the extra weeks funds. 
 
Get Started Vouchers - Round 5

Round 5 of the Get in the Game’ Get Started Voucher program will be opening earlier than previously publicised on Wednesday 28 January 2015.

The Get Started Program assists children and young people who can least afford or may otherwise benefit from joining a sport or recreation club by providing a voucher of $150 to help pay for membership and/or registration fees.

Vouchers are issued on a first come first served basis and the January / February 2014 round closed after 2 weeks as the funds had been fully allocated, so please encourage your families to apply early.

 Group Fundraising 2015 - The Goal
 
Our fundraising efforts in 2015 will continue with the same events :
  • Chocolate Drive - March  to October - continual boxes will be available.
  • 2 x Car Boot Sales & Car Washes - March 28 & August 29 (please mark your calendars)
  • Hot Rod Eliminators
  • Beenleigh Sport Club Raffles (4 in next 6 months)
  • Trivia Nights x 2
The money raised this year will need to be put to two major areas:
  • Hut Roof replacement or re-cladding - roof is leaking and needs repairs.
  • Front entrance erosion problem - stop the dirt running over the footpath with a stepped landscape in front of main den.
It takes all of us to help keep the place in great condition and we need everyone to be involved please. 
 
Group Shirts 
 
We are looking to do another reorder of the well received group shirts. In the middle of February we will seek your input into numbers as to keep the costs low we have to order a minimum amount.  Cost will  be approximately $30 this time.
 
Group Accounts
 
Thank you everyone who got their accounts up to date. At this time we still have over $2000 in outstanding fees. Could I please ask if you are still outstanding to bring your account up to date as soon as possible. Your current statements will be issued shortly after this newsletter is sent,
 
Group Leader absence
I will be away from January 24 - January 28. I can be contacted by phone but may not get signal all the time. I will be back on deck from 12pm on January 28.
 
Roles to be filled
I am currently looking the following roles to be filled this year. If you are interested please let me know.
  • Assistant Venturer Leader - Urgent
  • Assistant Group Leader - Urgent
  • Fundraising Coordinator - this is now about managing our suite of fundraising and coordination. 
Final Word
I look forward to 2015 and taking the next steps in continuing the good work we do. I am hoping in Term 2 we can start to look at a second Cub Pack and possible Second Scout night. There is a lot of work to be done before this happens but I believe we can achieve this as interest is growing and we are full in most sections.  
 
If you know any 14 - 18 year old looking for fun and have never experienced Scouting Venturers are now 11 strong and will continue to grow this year. It is an exciting time for this section going from a handful to 15 by June.  
 
Also, we are always on the look out for Joey Scouts, spread the word and lets keep our 3 leaders this year busy little beavers.
 
Enjoy 2015 it will be a big year, especially with ANZAC 100 year celebrations. This year the badge for Our Heritage - Their Service will be a one off Gold badge it will be a keeper.  
 
Keep smiling and I loook forward to your continued support in 2015

ANZAC Day - Thank you everyone



Good afternoon everyone,
 
These are the emails I love to write as they are all about how proud it makes me to be apart of this group!
 
On ANZAC Day we had 54 members attend, plus the families. Add to this everyone was dressed to impress in the correct uniform.
 
It was great to see all four sections represented and there were many comments in the crowd as we walked past. Most not realising we exists.
 
You should all be very proud of being part of the day and helping represent the group at what is an important day. 
 
I also want to acknowledge the patience of all who attended as we had to wait for the parade to start. You all did exceptionally well and you should all be given a huge pat on the back. It was truly a positive for all there.
 
For the record we had 35 attend the Dawn Service and 50 attend the March. 
 
Thank you everyone for making it a great day and looking forward to 2015.

Windaroo State School Twilight Markets


Windaroo State School Twilight Markets
Windaroo State School Twilight Markets
May 2, 5:30pm - 9:30pm 
Good morning everyone,
 
Just wanted to let you know we have been able to secure a spot at the Windaroo State School Twilight Markets on May 2. This will be a fundraising event and we will be calling for Cake Stall items again.
 
I am aware this date is also the Scout Region Camp, so it might be a case of drop off your goodies the night before.
 
I will need about no more than three helpers on the night as we have only a 3 x 3m area so space will be limited, what would be good is if we could have shifts of two to 2.5 hours for setup and set down.
 
Please book this into your calendars as the Cake Stalls are proving to be be hit and a good fundraiser for us. 
 
If you will be able to help or bake for this event please indicate below. 


Are you attending? Yes I am attending. No, I cannot attend.

New BBQ Fundraising Location - 2nd Saturday monthly



I am pleased to advise UltraTune Beenleigh has offered the Group a BBQ Fundraising slot every 2nd Saturday of the month, starting on April 12. I would like to thank the Davies family for arranging this with the store.
 
In the next two weeks a new roster will be put out for you all to commit to one slot  - as it is local I am expecting every family to assist us with this. You will only be asked to do one BBQ slot, if the hours remain the same as a AutoBarn. 
 
For that that have already done a BBQ this year at AutoBarn, you will not be required to commit again as you have done the one BBQ asked of you. But please feel free to help if we are short handed.
 
If you cannot commit to the date please seek a replacement and swap, we man just enough for the day and  last minute cancellation making it hard for organisers to be prepared and ensure enough hands available for the event.
 
COMING FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES 
  • March 29 - Bush Dance (Cuboree fundraiser) 
  • Apr 12 - UltraTune BBQ
  • May 2 -  Twilight Markets Cake Stall (tbc)
  • May 3 - Bethania School Fete - Car Wash (tbc)
  • May 10 - UltraTune BBQ
  • June - Chocolate Drive

Term 1 - Week 2 Update



Week One & Two has come & gone
 
So we  have already knocked over two weeks of Term 1. Things are back in full swing and we are looking to increase our presence int he community in 2014. I would like to thank everyone who returned this year and look forward to a big 2014. 
 
BBQ Roster - AutoBarn
 
Thank you to those that have already signed up for the BBQ Roster at AutoBarn. Can I please ask that you all check the roster out at the front desk in the main den and slot yourself in. Remember fundraising is a necessary evil to help offset the costs. The fees would need to increase by $3 a week to cover the short fall. We need everyone helping to ensure we only have to do one of the AutoBarn BBQ's for the year. 2.5 hours on a Saturday is not much to ask for - we have 9 BBQ's to cover from March 15 onwards.
 
Sign on Day Success
 
Last weekend saw the group set up camp at the Beenleigh Marketplace. The aim was to raise awareness of the group in the wider community and to increase our numbers in Joey Scouts and Venturer Scouts. What a successful weekend it turned out to be. We are looking at six new Joey Scouts and a strong potential for three Venturer Scouts. These Venturer Scouts are members that left Scouting and are looking to return.
 
Add to this a waiting list for Cub Scouts (3) and Scouts (9) we are looking very healthy.  
 
Car Boot Sale, Cake Stall and Car Wash
 
March 1, 7 am to 12 pm will be the Group first of two events for this fundraiser. 
 
Calling all bakers - we need your help in catering for this event. Please drop your goods off Friday night Feb 28 or early March 1. Help on the stall would be a big help too.
 
We are also looking for those that are keen to help man the BBQ for this fundraiser also. 
 
  
Seeking Leaders
 
Are you someone that likes to get down with your kids? Do you want to earn certifications and experience that can assist in your  day job? We are looking for leaders continuously. The Cub Scout section is seeking your help as one Leader is about to take a journey for three months overseas and we need your help to fill the hole.
 
It is a lot of fun to be a leader and the more we have the less work it is for the current leaders.
 
If you are not interested in being a leader how about stepping up as and Adult Helper or Supporter? 
 
Talk to the Group Leader for more on this.
 
Bush Dance - Cuboree Fundraiser  March 29 
Are you up for a good night out, get some people together for some old time fun on the dance floor. The Cuboree Fundraisers - Eleni and Tanya have put in a lot fo effort to make this happen and get or 20+ members to Cuboree in September.
 
Remember this is not just a Cub Scout activity as they will be asked to come along to for Jamboree fundraising. But if we all ask around I am sure we can drum up interest from outside

Get Started Vouchers information



Department of National Parks, Recreation, Sports and Racing
Get Started – Funding to help kids participate
Round 3 opens 10am on Monday 10 February 2014
 
DON'T DELAY WILL GO FAST 
2ND ROUND LATER IN 2014  

Get Started assists children and young people who can least afford or may otherwise benefit from joining a sport or recreation club. Eligible children and young people are provided with a voucher of up to $150 to help pay for club membership and/or participation fees.

Section Leaders and Group Leaders are encouraged to talk to family members who they feel might benefit from these vouchers. The parent, guardian / carer will need to register for a QGrants account through the website and create a user name and password.

http://www.nprsr.qld.gov.au/funding/getinthegame/getstarted.html

If the parent, guardian / carer have a Centrelink card they can complete the application form online without the need to do anything else. If they do not have a Centrelink card they can still apply, but they will need to get two referrals which can be the child’s teacher and principal.

Once the vouchers have been claimed they should be handed to the Section Leader. The Group Leader is asked to collate and forward all Vouchers to the Grants and Project Officer at the Queensland Branch Support Office, who will arrange for the vouchers to be redeemed and the funds transferred to the Groups account.

If the application is for a new member the Voucher must accompany an A5 application form. The Group can decide to use the $150 towards the registration fee and any excess charges will need to be paid in addition to the voucher. If the full $150 is not required to be used towards registration fees then the Group will be reimbursed the difference.

If the member already exists the $150 will be returned to the Group who can chose to apply it to the Group fees, refund the family or hold it for next year.

Who can apply?
Children and young people from the age of five and under the age of 18 who are residents of Queensland and:
• hold or whose parent, guardian / carer holds a Centrelink Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card
• Other children or young people identified by two referral agents (http://www.nprsr.qld.gov.au/funding/getinthegame/referral-agents.html)
*The eligibility criteria are applied at the time of application.
If a child is eligible for Get Started, they are not guaranteed a voucher. The funding will be distributed in two rounds each year on a first come, first served basis. Once the allocation for each round is exhausted, the program will close and no further vouchers will be offered for that round.

How to apply? Parents, Guardians and Carers
All eligible children and young people in receipt of a voucher in 2013 are eligible to reapply for a voucher in 2014.

A QGrants account is required to apply for a voucher. Applicants must use their personal email address and personal QGrants account to apply for a voucher. They can register for a QGrants account at any time and are encouraged to register for an account prior to the next voucher release.

[Important: Do not use a mobile phone or tablet device; you will not be able to complete the application process.]

Where can I present the voucher?
The Scout Association of Australia, Queensland Branch Inc. is registered to redeem vouchers against the cost of membership. Vouchers should be handed to Section Leaders who will pass them to Group Leaders to collate and submit the Queensland Branch Support Office where they will be redeemed and funds transferred to the Group account.

Voucher expiry
Vouchers expire approximately three months after the round opens. If vouchers are not presented to the Scout Group before the expiry date, the child or young person will not be eligible for another voucher until the next calendar year.

Car Wash, Car Boot Sale & Cake Stall - March 1





Sign On Weekend - Feb 8 & 9

Dear Cub Section


SIGN ON WEEKEND
BEENLEIGH MARKETPLACE
SATURDAY FEB 8 - 9 AM TO 4 PM
SUNDAY FEB 9 - 10:30 AM TO 4 PM
 

 This weekend the Beenleigh Scout Group will be holding a stall at the Beenleigh Marketplace, outside BB Cafe. We are seeking to increase our Joey Mob and Venturer Unit this year and this is the main focus of the weekend.
 
I will be there all weekend, but if you would like to help out for a couple of hours over the weekend, we have limited spaces available due to only having a small space to work in. At this time we need up to 2 extra people to assist me in this.
 
Times available:
  • Saturday: 1:pm - 4pm , 
  • Sunday: 10:30 am - 12:30 pm, 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm, 2:30 pm - 4 pm.
 
I see the heaviest traffic will be from 11 am through to 2 pm each day.
At this stage due to the limited space I am not requesting youth members attend, but if they do Joey Scouts and Cub Scouts can only be present for no more than 1 hour as it will not be a very exciting day for them and we can not have them running around chasing one another.
 
For those youth members 10 years and over, I am happy to have you present but as I have not sought permission for you to attend I will require your parents to remain and only for the 2 hours I am seeking at the most.
 
It is all about selling what we do and how new members can become part of the fun and adventure we provide.
 
I would be very happy with drop in for 10 minutes at the most.
 
If attending it is a full uniform activity as we are promoting Scouting and we need every one who comes in to be dressed to impress.
 
If you can spare time please let me know, else if you are passing by say hi, as sitting next to BB Cafe as an ex  Cub Scout Leader I think I will be going insane from the temptation to overdose on caffine products :)

Welcome to 2014 - we start back Jan 28/Jan 31



Happy New Year everyone. The planning is underway for a great 2014 and we hope to see you all return on Jan  28 for Cubs & Joey Scouts,  Jan 31 for Scouts and Feb 3 for Venturer Scouts.
 
I am aware that a few on this list may not be returning in 2014, if you could please email me directly if you will not return so we can ensure our numbers are correct and you will not be invoiced for the 2014 fees.
 
PARENT MEETING
 
Please note that on January 31 and February 4, there will be a 30 minute information session at the beginning of the night. This will showcase the groups and sections goals for 2014. Please ensure you attend as this is your chance to ask questions. 
 
 
FUNDRAISING
The Group is looking for a Group Fundraising Coordinator - at this time the roll will fall into my hands, but I need someone to step up and become the coordinator for the group.
 
You will be responsible for the Group fundraising overall, with the help of the BBQ Coordinator and Cuboree Fundraising committee. In 2014 we need to get an AJ2016 Fundraising Team together from June and your role will be to ensure that Group fundraising continues also.
 
Please contact myself if you are interested in taking on the Group Fundraising Coordinator role.
GRASS IN PARADE AREA
Thank yo to those - Redback, Brenda and Scouts, pus anyone who assisted - in getting the grass laid out in the Den grounds. The efforts to keep the grass growing has been a big effort. Well done and it looks great.
 
BBQ ROSTER
In 2014 we have Autobarn Slacks Creek as our BBQ hosts. We would like to thank Autobarn for 2013 slots as we raised around $3000 through this.
 
To help ensure that we are all doing our bit to help raise funds, the Group will be implementing a roster with all families allocated one spot at Autobarn. It wil be your responsibility to ensure someone attends in your place if you cannot attend on the day.
 
Last year we had only 20 families assist out of 50 families, it is a 3 hour slot on one Saturday a month. If we all do one that is the only Autobarn BBQ you will be required to assist and your efforts will minimise the workload for others.
 
FIRST NIGHT/DRESS CODE
Please remember to ensure your youth members are wearing the correct uniform on den night. Blue or Black shorts and closed in shoes. Anyone with no covered shoes will have to go home.
 
AUDIT
There will be an audit on night one for contact details - please ensure that you check the information as I am aware that some have moved house in the past 6 months. 
 
Thank you all for last year and I am looking forward to 2013.

Christmas Break up 6 Dec 6:30pm



END OF YEAR & XMAS BREAK UP
Dec 6 - 6:30pm  
Non Uniformed night - XMAS Gear would be good.
 
Please note that this Friday is the Break up for the Group of 2013. We have 165 attending on Friday from the numbers gathered. This is a fantastic number and I am looking forward to seeing you there.
  
What is provided on the night is a meal of Chicken (Red Rooster) and Salads. There will be an alternative for vegetarians.  I believe the above meal should cover 90%, if it will be a problem please advise.
 
If you are able to lend a hand on Friday night (time to be confirmed, post 4pm) to help set up the den with tables and Gazebos it would be appreciated if you could let me know and I will contact you once the coordinator has advised of the time. 
For those unable to attend - thank you for the year and I hope to see you all in 2014.
