Over the last couple of months we have welcomed a few new scouts to our troop. The maximum number of scouts per patrol is 6, so as to leave room for more new scouts it’s time to form a 3rd patrol. This will leave room in all patrols for new members.
Forming a new patrol means appointing a new PL and also a new APL. As over the past few months we have had scouts move up to venturers we have no official PL’s. So it is time to appoint 3 new PL’s and 3 new APL’s. Also we need a name for the new patrol.
All patrols in scouts are named after an animal. There are 28 different animal names to choose from. There is also a patrol badge that matches each animal. The scouts wear this badge on the left sleeve of their scout shirt to show which patrol they belong to.
On Tuesday 7th October the new patrol was formed and the scouts in that patrol discussed what their patrol name would be. The final decision was, Panthers. Also the new PL's and APL's were announced.
I would like to congradulate the following scouts on becoming Patrol Leaders (PL's) and Assistant Patrol Leaders (APL's)
Scorpion Patrol: Daniel, PL and Lloyd, APL
Platypus Patrol: Jasper, PL and Celeste, APL
Panther Patrol: Louis, PL and Liam, APL
If anyone knows of friends that might like to join scouts, ask them to come along. We offer 3 nights at no cost so they can try it out.
(coming soon... more information about the Patrol System)

A group of Scouts from 5th City of Brunswick jonied other Scouts from Moreland District in and overnight hile along teh Surf Coast Walk over the weekend of 24-25 May.
The walk commenced at Airey's Inlet and worked up over 19km to Eumerella where the Scouts camped overnight (familair territory to most of our Scouts). The next day, the Scouts walked to the end point at Jan Juc then returned home.
If anyone has any images or a report to make this would be most welcome. Please contact Jason.

"Treetops" Riddells Creek - 21-24 March 2008
Attending
- Jack Zilles - Patrol Leader
- Lloyd Connelly - Scout
- Jason Best - Scout Leader
Given the small patrol, camp organisers decided to merge 5th Brunswick with another patrol comprising scouts from 3rd Williamstown and 4th Footscray to make a good-sized patrol of seven scouts. Everybody got along very well and worked as a first class patrol. Evidence for this is that they took home a Gold Award for their weekend's camping. Well done everybody!

This year the Scouts went to Stradbroke Cup at Eumeralla to be with the friends they made at AJ2007 - 2nd Lara and 5th Northcote.
It was a pleasant change from Treetops, but some of the Scouts considered that the facilities were not up to the required standard and that 2008 will be back at Treetops.
