Australia Day Ceremony 2008

 

We had a fantastic turnout of Joeys, Cubs, Scouts and Leaders totaling 27.

 

Cooper from the Scouts, Breeanna from Joeys and Jack from Cubs were chosen to be in the flag party.

The flag was piped down the riverbank by one of the Ballina pipe band members and was carried by the Lismore Naval Cadets. The flag was handed to Sea-Hog who clipped it onto the flag pole, and it was raised by Cooper while the rest of the Scout group saluted and the piper played "Advance Australia Fair". There was a healthy crowd numbering in the 100's who witnessed the first of what will hopefully be many community events that the 1st Ballina Scout group participate in during this the 100th Year of Scouting in Australia.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Ballina Shire Council for allowing us to participate in the event, and of course I want to thank all of the group members who took the time to come and support 1st Ballina Scout Group.
