The Lower Burdekin Scout Group held a Christmas Raffle for the first time in the last 5-7 years. The Scouts would like to thank “Beaver” who is one of our Adult Helpers for coming up with the fundraising idea and doing all the leg work. This fundraiser will assist us in keeping our membership fees the lowest in our region.
We especially would like to thank the following local organisations who supported us by donating vouchers and gifts, which enabled us to create 12 packages of gifts as prizes:
Home Hill News & Coffee, Pathway to Holistic Health, Home Hill, Marzays, Home Hill
The Prawn Shop, Home Hill, Dee & Vees Takeaway, Home Hill, Fit Gym, Home Hill, Coles, Ayr, Woolworths, Ayr, Lilly May’s Flowers & Gifts, Home Hill and Tattoo Lotus, Ayr.
We would also like to thank Harvey Norman and Woolworths, for allowing the Scouts to sell the raffle tickets outside their stores. Harvey Norman also additionally supported the Scouts by allowing us to run a BBQ and sell raffle tickets on Thursday, 19 December.
The Lower Burdekin Scouts sold 479 tickets at $1 each to local families and visitors, and there were 12 prize packages.
The raffle and BBQ were the last Scouting activity in 2024, which has been a busy year for our Scouts.
Some of the activities were: Australia Day, swimming, Anzac Day, abseiling, camping, hiking, sailing, Harvest Festival, Ayr Show, Water Festival, visiting local Emergency Services and movie night.
The 2025 program has been developed and there will be lots of activities like there was in last year. 2025 starts with the Jamboree in Maryborough from the 5–16th of January.
People who would like to try Scouting, can come along in 2025 for four nights at no cost or more information, simply call Rikki on: 0419 104 035.
The Lower Burdekin Scouts wish all the readers, our supporters and members a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
