Mowing and Grounds

Current rostered family is: HOFFMAN
(week ending 30th NOV)

followed by HOGG.

If you are listed on the roster and cannot make it, can YOU please arrange a swap with another parent. You will need to mow the lawns around the hall, and remove weeds from the flower beds and edges. Alternatively, if you or another parent are unable to complete the mowing duties, it is ok to hire someone. Failure to assist in these duties may result in an increase of fees for all.

Please see the roster page for more details.

The aim of Scouting is to encourage the physical, intellectual, social, and spiritual development of young people so they may play a constructive role in society as responsible citizens and as members of their local and international communities.

This aim is achieved through a strong and active program that inspires young people to do their best and to always be prepared. Read more...

The 1st Helensburgh Scout Group is located at the Northern-most point of Wollongong (otherwise known as the Northern Illawarra), one hour south of Sydney, as part of the South Coast and Tablelands region, and in 2008 enjoys its 92nd successful year.

Our Group is always looking for new members and leaders. Activities include camping, hikes, canoeing, indoor rock climbing, cooking, construction and life skills as well as other fun outings.

This website has been created as a useful resource to both parents and children of the group - we welcome your input to make it functional and fun!
