Scouts Vs Girl Guides?

[Emma09]

What state are you in Sara?

Should be a small yearly fee, smaller weekly fee and then extra for the bigger weekend excursions.

Some of the camps can be expensive.

Ok, showing my age. I remember when you paid subs each week of...wait for it...$2! I wonder what it is now? Sara, can you let us know when you find out?

My cousin has done some amazing things with Scouts. He will be going to the snow for the second time in 2 years next month. They bus it to the Grampians from SA then hike into the Chalet and do stuff there. Last year they were lucky it snowed the day before they arrived so could ski in but it was a close call! In Summer he went to Tasmania.

I think I'm sold on Scouts...

Kelly, it's great to hear your kids are enjoying it so much. Are there many girls in your troup?

[Ilithyia]

I'm in Qld, Emma.

Yep will do MG.

Yeah it is awesome Kelly I wish I had the opportunity to do things like that when I was a kids. Although Softball was pretty good

LOVE it ZF! You just made my day! Oh the memories!!!!!!! Maybe we should start a "My memories of Girl Guides and Scouting" thread!

i was a Tintookie too!

Locally, it seems the joeys/cubs/scouts have a larger following - probably because it's now both genders.

Emma09, we were heavily involved in Strzelecki Showtime for many years - we went to see the Camberwell version a couple of times (went to Gang Show more though)

i was in it from 91 to 96 i think - i was doing year 12 in 97 so didn't go in the show that year - i did ticket sales with mum though and front of house/kiosk stuff as well

my brother was in it from it's 21st show so either 88 or 89 - can't recall for sure! i just know it was the 21st year cos one of his performances had three newbies in their first year, and three of the older peeps involved in their 21st show lol

I didn't do brownies - cos brown wasn't my colour but I was a guide and went to the Asia Pacific Jamborella where there were scouts and guides. How risque!

A bit before my time
I think I saw your show in 2000?
Is it still going?
My sister sees almost every single scout show in Victoria- so she probably still sees it

My DD went to scouts first but we swapped her over to guides early on. The scouts seemed to be more about activities organized by others, but guides seems to have more of an emphasis on community and contribution and positive life values. DDs now a pack leader and intends to hang around for a while yet, so I would recommend guides.

Great advice MD! I hadn't overly considered those points so thank you.

Depends on the child too. My daughter is very hands on, outdoorsy and adventurous, she's gotten bored and quit so many things. But never seen her so into something before. The camps are a massive draw card for her too, they go to some really cool places. We live near a military base and one activity we just missed out on was light plane rides at the base! Only $50 each and a day out they would never forget. Its not that exxy every activity, some are very cheap, but they have so many cool options and chances to do things other kids wouldnt.

My DH is a head scout leader so naturally my kids do scouts (joeys and cubs) DD will be going up to scouts soon. The reason DH became a leader was because I am ultra paranoid lol and DD wanted to do cubs and I feel better knowing he knows all the leaders, can go to any camp and be there for the kids. They feel special too. And I'm sure it will be a part of their lives they will always cherish.

Where I did the whole scout/guide thing, the guides are now pretty lame. Numbers are dwindling, so they're struggling for leaders, so the activities just aren't as good.

I say Scouts, for that reason.

I was also a Showtime tragic.

I met my DH through Scouts We are such nerds...

Also, I was a Joey leader for a while, I took my Joeys camping once a year.

You were a showtime tragic?

Do we know each other?

[bellany]

We were a big scout family. Both parents scout leaders us kids went from Joeys to venturers and loved every minute
I long for my kids to join scouts.
