Scouts Open Day

The Drayton Scout Group is planning an Open Day this month in the hope of attracting new members.

Drayton Scouts Group Leader Bessi-Jo Zischke (whose Scouting name is “Magpie”) said the Group currently has 60 members and is hoping to add to this with young people from areas such as Westbrook, Wyreema and Vale View.

The Open Day will be held on Saturday week, 11th February at the Drayton Scout premises on the corner of Wuth and Luck Streets.

It will start at 10am and continue until 2pm.

The day will include a wide and varied range of free Scout activities such as construction, craft, biscuit decorating and carnival games.

There will also be a fire pit.

The Open Day is a chance for potential members to experience what it would be like to be a Scout for a day.

The Scouts cater for five sections - Joeys who are aged 5 to 8 years; Cubs, for ages 8 to 11; Scouts, aged 11 to 14; Venturer Scouts for those 14 to 18; and Rovers for those 18 to 25 years.

“Toowoomba residents can be assured that this project will not impact their existing water supply,” Mr Butcher said.

The pipeline provides drought contingency for residents of Southern Downs Regional Council area.

Seqwater has delivered detailed designs for the pipeline and is continuing to work with stakeholders in preparing to move into the pre-construction phase of the pipeline, with scheduled construction completion and commissioning now expected by early 2027.
