In mid-December (14th and 15th), a patrol of scouts from Bribie Island Scout Group built a platform and patrol tent in the Bribie passage as part of an Australian Scout Award celebration. They spent the night under canvas while the tide came in.
The build was completed by four experienced scouts, Charlie Atkins, Jarvis Dioth, Max Worrad and Oliver Evans, with help from Alex Baker. It was built as part of the celebration of Charlie and Jarvis receiving their Australian Scout Award. This award is the peak achievement in the Scout section (the Scout section is for boys and girls aged 11 to 14 years and offers an amazing array of activities designed to teach important life skills) and Jarvis and Charlie wanted to build a big project to celebrate. The Bribie Island Scout Group haven't been able to find any records of this being done in decades and definitely not locally.
The project was undertaken with support from Busy Fingers, Bribie Island Bowls Club, Member for Pumicestone Ariana Doolan, City of Moreton Bay Division 1 councillor Brooke Savige and Member for Longman Terry Young.
Bribie Island Scouts have four age sections:
Joeys 5-8 years-old
Cubs 8-11 years-old
Scouts 11-15 years-old
Venturers 14-18 years-old
As a volunteer organization, they depend on adults helping youth to succeed. They are always happy to welcome volunteers and they especially need help in the younger sections. If you want to volunteer as an adult, please get in touch with their group.
