1st Asquith Scout Group

1st Asquith Scouts visited Berowra Fire station on Monday, a fantastic time was had by all. The firies gave us a demonstration of how they cut cars up and one of our Scouts, Tom, got to have a go of the cutting tool.

The Scout Troop Term 2 Program is now available. All scouts will have had it emailed to them. It is also available for download below.

Three 1st Asquith Leaders, Kevin Jardine, Kevin Goodwin and John Creasey along with Rudy Jongens will be taking part in Oxfam TRAILWALKER Sydney 2009 as team Target Acquired.

Oxfam Trailwalker is the world's greatest team challenge. And it's also one of the toughest. The challenge is to get a team of four across 100km of Australian bush in less than 48 hours - and to raise at least $1,000 to help to overcome poverty and suffering around the world.

Oxfam Trailwalker is all about teamwork - it is a great way for friends to bond or for work colleagues to develop team spirit. Teams need to start together, go through each checkpoint together, and finish together.
They have to train and fundraise together beforehand. Oxfam Trailwalker is a real challenge and Target Acquired are training hard and hope to finish as a team of four in 24 hours.

Oxfam works in more than 26 countries around the world including Indigenous Australia. By raising money for Oxfam Australia participants will be making a tremendous difference to the lives of some of the world’s most disadvantaged people.

The event began in 1981 as a military exercise for the elite Queen's Gurkha Signals Regiment in Hong
Kong, and has since grown into one of the world's leading sporting challenges. Oxfam Trailwalker is a global event, taking place annually in New Zealand, UK, Hong Kong and Japan.

1st Asquith Scout Troop took out the Easter Camp Austag title over the Easter long weekend.  Tom's patrol beat highly fancied Alex's Patrol in the final for Asquith to take the top two places.  It was hard fought game with the lead changing several times. PL Tom said after the game " I don't know how we did it , but i'm so happy to have beaten Alex"

1st Asquith is now the proud holder of the 1st Asquith Austag Trophy, the first time we have won the comp since we donated the trophy back in 2002.
