Our guest speaker this week was Steven Reynolds from NSW Scouts who spoke about how the Scouts have used the RCAF grant at Camp Nelson. This included new air conditioning and previously buying a new ride on mower.

Steven gave the members a run down on what facilities are at Camp Nelson including an abseil tower, hall and camping space which is used not only by Scouts, but also other groups such as Boys to the Bush, Clontarf, Girl Guides and the Albury LARP group. 

 

Thanks for coming to the club and updating us about Scouts and Club Nelson!

Glen spoke about 'Out of the Shadows' walk last week which Helen, Karen, Murray and Glen attended. Thank you to those members who helped to cook breakfast for those who walked to recognise World Suicide Prevention Day.
