The Police Scouter Group has continued to provide Scouts Australia, SA Branch and Guides SA with general security and traffic management over the last 12 months.
Police Scouters have been involved in the following events for the
scouts: SandBlast, Comedy Capers, Act of Loyalty, Gang Show, Youth Team
Challenge Activ8, Shakedown Camp at Woodhouse, and the 19th
Australian Jamboree at Cataract park.
For the Guides, Police Scouters have assisted with the Edna Ayres Camp
at Oakbank, Carry on Guides ane the Guides State Camp at Douglas Scrub.
A number of Police Scouters attended at the 19th Australian
Jamboree at Cataract Park, Sydney. At
the Jamboree, South Australian Police Scouters were able to support their
fellow Police Scouters in New South Wales, and gain valuable experience in
providing a security service for such a large event. Our members learnt from the Cataract security management team so
that our management of the security at the next Adelaide Jamboree can be even
more professional.
At the Act of Loyalty this year one of our members Anthony Luff
received the Silver Arrowhead for service to Scouting. I again congratulate Tony for receiving this
award.
In October of 2000, our members attended at a social gathering at GTS
Dolphin on the Port River. This event
gave members an opportunity to relax and canoe the river, the weekend was most
enjoyable and I am sure we will have a similar weekend in the future.
During this year some of our Members have been busy conducting
renovations to the hut at Woodhouse near the western gate (old JOTA hut). This hut when complete will act as the
Police Scouter headquarters during major camps at Woodhouse. The Police Scouters will work closely with
the Woodhouse management team to insure that the renovations to the hut are
appropriate and a benefit to everyone.
Well done to Tony, Brett and others.
The Police Scouter Group has donated $200.00 to the Radio Activities
Section for much needed radio equipment.
These funds were raised during the Crafers tunnel opening held last
year.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of those members of
our group for the time and dedication that they have shown to the Police
Scouter Group and therefore Scouts and Guides in ensuring that the youth of
today are given every opportunity to succeed.
The Police Scouter Group will continue to provide a service to both
Scouts and Guides in the future. New
members are certainly welcome. We
guarantee an interesting and enjoyable experience for anyone wanting to become
involved.
