During the 4th term, we are re-launching 4th Claremont Fernwood Scout Group. Their hall is in Almond Street, just above the Upper Liesbeek River Garden, which is a perfect location for the new Cub and Meerkat branches which will open there this term. The plan is for the Scout Troop to open next year. The group has been closed for around 20 years and is the first newly established group in our District for many years.
Since we announced the launch, we have successfully recruited and trained a team of adult leaders for the new group, and rapidly built a list of enthusiastic potential Scout families from the surrounding community. We have held a range of Scout and training activities at the hall, as well as hall work parties to tidy the grounds and get the hall ready for Scout activities. We are really looking forward to the first meetings in the next few weeks!
If you were at 4th Claremont or know someone who was, please get in touch. We’re especially interested in any stories, photos or memorabilia from before the group closed.
