The theme for Scouts SA in 2025 is “Heritage”, and this issue of Smoke Signals (PDF) focuses on the families and adult leaders who form such an important part of building the group’s heritage.
Please visit the photo album featuring Daniel le Jeune who has stepped down as Troop Scouter. He leaves a legacy of excellence as he hands over the role to Simon Bean. We will feature Simon in a future edition.
We also pay tribute to John Webb, a former Scout, Scouter, father of Ian and Jonathan and grandfather of James and Julia, who passed away in May, and whose time at 1st Claremont spanned 70 years of the group’s history.
Of course we also feature the Meerkats (hunting bugs, geo-caching and even visiting the UK), Cubs (Kon-Tiki and more) and Scouts (Upton Shield, Kon-Tiki, Julia’s Discover hike and more), who have continued their exciting programmes.
And finally we invite you to join us at the hall for our “Rugby on the Big Screen” on 16 August (Boks vs Australia from 4pm). Not only is it a great event for the family, it’s also an important fundraiser towards our aim to own our own Scout Hall.
