Talk to Joel Heath, Ric & Iain McCoy who attended ScoutSki '99. Apparently a good time was had by them all despite the minimum of snow!
It's rumored that Anthony JA was seen at Mt Baw Baw during ScoutSki.

Trivia Night - Scouts and Parents.

The PL's and APL's will be running a Trivia night for scouts and parents during Scout Night on the 4th August. Parents are invited (asked) to come to scouts for the whole night.
The last 30 minutes of this night will be devoted to preparation for the XC skiing day.
