ANZAC Day Attendance

The Lower Burdekin Scout Group went above and beyond to get into the ANZAC spirit this year.

Three Scouts slept over in the Den on Wednesday night, the night before ANZAC day and to get in the ANZAC spirit they cooked ANZAC biscuits on an open fire.

The three Scouts, Brianna, Caitlyn and Austin prepared and baked the biscuits.

Some were successful but some were burnt and hard, but nonetheless, the Scouts ate the good ones for supper!

Scout Leader Chris Berkery said next time they may have to make changes to the cooking method.

The Scout group also attended the Ayr Parade and it was the first parade for some of the scouts.

 “They found the day very moving because of the crowds along the walk were clapping, and one of the speakers mentioned that his grandfather and father served in the wars, but died in their early years after returning home,” said Chris.
