When: Friday 17 to Sunday 19 November Meeting at the hall on Friday at 6:30pm (wear uniform and have tea before coming to the hall). Departure on Sunday is from 4pm; therefore, we will be back at the hall between 5pm and 5:30pm.

CareMonkey also replaces permission forms for special activities like Gilweroo. This means that you will receive two invitations to attend Gilweroo - one from 1st Heatherdale and the other from Scouts Victoria (the Gilweroo organising committee). Parent Helpers: We will need parent helpers at the camp to assist with catering and we will help with transport to and from the camp. If you can help out, please let me know via CareMonkey. NB: Every vehicle entering the park, including those just dropping off people or equipment, must be pre-registered with Gilweroo. Vehicle Policy:

Fantastic Race - Sat 5 to Sun 6 Aug
posted 8 Jul 2017, 23:50 by Andrew Yeaman
The Fantastic Race is a Patrol Activity that requires you to travel around via public transport and foot power, use the grey matter between your ears, yes that is thinking and I know it hurts, to complete challenges and find information and clues that you will use to complete the “Password” that will give you access to your next destination and challenges. Commencing at the Heathmont Railway Station Car Park at 7:15am on Saturday, (Melway map 50 A12), you will venture out as Patrols travelling primarily by train and foot to a series of destinations at which you will be required to complete a challenge, answer some questions or solve a puzzle in order to complete the password to get your next instructions. The fantastic Race finishes up at the Scout Hall in H.E. Parker Reserve at 3pm on Sunday (Melway map 64 C2). The cost is $15.00 per Scout to cover Dinner and Breakfast, Camp Blanket Badge, Prizes and running costs. You will also need to have a myki card with sufficient credit for travel in Zone 2 for the weekend. Each patrol must have a mobile phone which is used to check in with base and for emergency use (DO NOT FORGET YOUR PHONE CHARGER TO RE-CHARGE THE PHONE OVER NIGHT) . You will need to bring Sleeping Gear for Saturday night, pocket money for lunch and snacks or separate food, Dilly Bag and a sense of adventure and fun!!! Late arrival and early departure. If a Scout is arriving after the event starts or is leaving before the end of the event the scout MUST report to the CONTROL CENTRE at Heathmont Scout Centre 117 Heathmont Road Heathmont. For late arrival please come to Heathmont, you will be advised where to meet your Patrol. If a Scout is leaving early the parent or guardian collecting the Scout MUST contact the CONTROL CENTRE at Heathmont to be advised where they may collect the Scout, this will likely be one of the Internet cafes located around the event, Scouts are not to leave the event without advising the CONTROL CENTRE at Heathmont. | ![]()

Dump and Run - Thu 27 Jul
posted 8 Jul 2017, 23:45 by Andrew Yeaman
The idea of the night is that the Scouts, as a patrol, will be dropped off in an unknown suburban location. They will be given some clues to find there way to the nearest train station. They then travel by train to a central meeting point (in this case Hungry Jack's - Corner Whitehorse road and Heatherdale road) The Scouts will have 1 hour to complete the activity. Each patrol will have a parent shadow and we will also need parents for the initial drop off. Parent shadows are there for safety - and not to provide assistance to the Scouts. Things you all need to know:
Scouts will need a backpack, a coat and/or warm jacket, torch, water bottle, good walking shoes, myki with credit, pen and paper. | ![]() |
