ScoutFest 2019
Hibiscus Coast District held "ScoutFest" at Rowallan Park this year and it was very successful. The local newspaper had a great write up and is available here. Congratulations to the ScoutFest committee!

Port Curtis Joey Jaunt
Port Curtis District held their 2nd annual Joey Jaunt at Lake Awoonga at the beginning of August. Joey Scouts from all the groups in the district attended and everyone had a great time. Well done to the organisers and the leaders attending.

Adult Recognition Awards for especially good service to the Association are made to persons who have given especially valuable service over a considerable period.

Awards are granted for good service beyond the level of service normally expected of a person in carrying out the responsibilities of the appointment or position held as well as carrying out those duties to a high standard.

A distinctive pin for wearing in civilian dress is issued together with the first Award presented. This is a silver lapel badge based on the national logo.

The full list can be found on the Scouts Queensland website here and the full national list here.
