Even the wind and rain, couldn't stop the 1st Ballina Joey Scouts, Cubs, Scouts and Girl Guides from taking part in Clean Up Australia Day on 2nd March

With a fantastic turnout of over 50 people to help pick up everyone else's rubbish. They collected lots of the usual rubbish such as bottles and cans filling nearly 40 bags, with a few surprises this year such as computer monitors, clothing and even a Box Trailer that had been dumped full of timber and rubbish. With such a massive effort we covered from Bi-Centennial Gardens and Southern cross drive in North Ballina down to Riverview park and across to Fishery Creek bridge. I would like to thank everyone for participating in this great community event in this the Centenary Year of Scouting in Australia. And a Big Thank you to the Ballina Shire Council for arranging to collect ALL of the rubbish from the Scout Halls Collection point.
