Back to scouts 2025
The slipper slide. Each unit had an evening of water, soap and slippery fun on the slippery slide at Beverley rd during the fist week back. With the pending heat wave during the first week back we decided that water play was the best way to go.
08/11/2024 Boost camp was a hoot
A few weeks ago 54 youth members leaders and adults participated in the Boost camp at Bay Park "Mt Martha" and the reports i am hearing back is that everyone had a fantastic time. Christine D , one of our fantastic Joey leaders , lead this camp and managed to put together a team of helpers and coordinate the camping, catering, transport and activities. This is a mammoth task and seeing the photos and smiles on the kids just shows how teamwork and everyone working together with great leadership can make for a successful activity. The event came in just under budget and the new model where leaders and parent helpers didn't have to pay to attend seemed to work well.
Thank you Christine and thank you everyone else that helped

Around the hall
We have been pretty busy around the hall, Dennis Cheong has almost finish installing all the sound and security system . It should be done soon after the wiring man ( me) has finished of all the cat 6 plugs. This will give us a fantastic video and audio experience inside the hall as well as security cameras wifi and internet access.
Karl in the Q store has completed our new portable hot water service. .This will be a great asset at scout hike and Cuboree and other big camps.
Pressurized continues hot water is something your really appreciate after a few days in the bush.
The Bathroom has also had an upgrade and the little tiny sink has been replaced with a far more function trough. Two or three cubs can wash there hand at the same time and you can wash your paint brushes and fill up water containers.
The big mirror has also been attached to the wall so that I can see what hair I have left when combing it
We also had a small clean up around the hall and a big trailer load of rubbish was taken to the tip

UPDATED JAN 8 2023
As i previously reported 10th Ivanhoe topped the state for sales of raffle tickets $9296 . well done !!!
I think that lots of people have now realized the great opportunity in selling these raffle tickets.Clearly you get a chance to win a car and lots of other great prizes and your children ( the sellers) also contribute with there efforts towards there own activities and fees.
Every ticket sold and every dollar made goes back directly to YOUR scout account. So many of the members of our group now have credits that can be spent on anything scouting. Camp, uniform, activities or fees. Just let me know what scouting item and when you want your money and we will pay it for you or transfer the money back to you.
Please see your current balance at https://www.10thivanhoe.com/group-committee/youth-funds
FYI - there are a few transaction that i am unable to identify who to attribute the sales towards, so if you think you amount is incorrect please let me know
UPDATED JAN 6 2023

The group council is a meeting of the group committee and the unit leaders. Some scout groups have these meetings independently and some combine them. I prefer in most instances to have everyone together where possible.
For our first meeting this year i am inviting all adults in our group to attend. If you would like to offer some assistance to the group. Maybe joining the committee, become a leader or you just want to see what goes on, this is your opportunity.
I would ask all leaders, adult helpers and committee to please attend if possible.
RSVP Friday 13/01/23 gl.10thivanhoe@scoutsvictoria.com.au
I you have items to put on the agenda please send them to me ASAP
I will send out the finalized agenda a few days before the meeting
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATED JAN 4 2023
I hope everyone had a great Christmas and a fun new year.
So as we head into 2023 there have been a few changes in our scout group. As I mentioned late last year our treasurer Holly Grant resigned from the role. After several years of great service to the group she has decided to take a break. The committee and leaders thank Holly for her service. We now have a new treasurer, Jonathan Levin – thank you Jonathan for stepping up so quickly and filling this important role.
Edward Tax our group committee chairman has also resigned. Having no children in the group anymore and due to work commitments. Thank you Edward for your service to the committee and previously as a leader in our group.
Also our Cub Leader Fiona Sealey is hanging up her Woggle. After over 26 years of service to the group and to scouting she has decided it’s time to move on and let others take over. Fiona is a big loss for our cub unit, and her patience and calm manner With the children will be severely missed. I am sure everyone will join me in thanking her and wishing her all the best in the future.
Monster Raffle 2022. 10th Ivanhoe topped the seller list for the state with sales of $9366. Thanks to one or two big sellers and lots of other participants. So all $9366 will be allocated back to youth members in our scout group youth members to spend on any scout related activity. Fees, camps, uniforms, training courses etc. Just let me know what you want to use your money for.
XMAS Tree fundraiser. Thank you to everyone that came along and helped this year. Through the efforts of the families in our group we raised almost $15,000. This will help us keep our fees at a reasonable level and allow us to buy equipment and do a few more projects around the hall.
Hall Cleaning. Thank you to all the families who have done their part to keep the hall clean by fulfilling their cleaning roster duties on their allocated Sunday. The hall is looking much cleaner than it has been for a while thanks to you! For those who are on the roster for 2023, please remember to rock up on your allocated Sunday. Thank you in advance for helping to keep our hall clean!
2023. The challenge ahead for me as the group leader is to try to fill some of the vacated roles and to keep our fantastic scout group moving along.
After a few years of building works at the hall, we are approaching the end of the planned works projects. These projects are: renovate venturer den build Q-store, renovate hall, bathrooms, kitchen, leader room, rebuild back stairs, concrete driveway, rebuild retaining wall and finally install internal stairs up to the stage. Most of these are done or just require a lick of paint to finish them off. The projects to be done this year are the outside front parade ground and the landscaping and garden works down near the Venturer den. We have received some funding through a grant and with the help of some of the funds raised through the Xmas tree selling fundraiser we should be able to knock these over this year.
FEES for 2023. The scout year starts on the 1st of April 2023 and ends on 31st March 2024. Branch has already confirmed an increase of about $15 to $260 for registration and insurance for youth members. There is also a $20 district levy. We are hoping to keep 10th Ivanhoe group fees at a similar or lower rate to 2022 with the possible introduction of a working bee levy to help offset this. I.e. attend working bees and the Xmas fundraiser, join the committee or become a leader and you don’t pay the levy. This is currently under review and the committee should have the group fees finalised by the end of January or early Feb and invoices for 2023 will go out soon afterwards.
WAITING LIST – MEMBERSHIP We have several new members on the waiting list that will be starting with us in 2023 and January & February is always our biggest intake period. Our group is currently pretty full in all the units full so if you are not planning to attend 10th Ivanhoe in 2023 could you please let me know as soon as possible so that I can remove you from our list also not waste time sending you an invoice.
-------------------------------------------------
Christmas tree sales 2022 CLOSED
UPDATED DEC 11 2023
Thank you to everyone in the group that came along to help sell trees. We sold over 500 trees on the two weekends and through our online sales portal. This will now give us the funds to run our scout group through 2023 an to help with a few projects around the hall.
GRANTS -- SUCCESS
We have received confirmation that we were successful in the 2022- 2023 Banyule Community Grant and will receive $4048 toward technology modernization at the hall. Thank you Denis and Rachel for putting the time in and achieving this fantastic result. The hall will now get NBN , internet , Wifi as well as improved security, video and audio equipment.
We have also been successful in our grant application for First aid training- this will allow us to have about 15 of or adult and older youth members attend a level 2 first aid / CPR course. I am sure everyone understands the importance that our leaders maintain there first aid qualifications and where possible we will pay for our older youth members to attend as they are often called on to assist with running activities for the younger members
From the group leader.
I would like to wish everyone a safe and happy Christmas and a fun new year. I think that we have a currently have great bunch of families at 10th Ivanhoe. The support that i have received and the parent help and participation is at an all time high. Our committee is functioning and we have a few new leaders that have recently started . At 10th Ivanhoe we are very focused on creating an environment where everyone feels part of a scouting community through participation and enjoyment by seeing there children gain skills and have great experiences at scouts. Scouting in 2022 has been exiting and challenging and and after five years we have almost completed our move to the new hall. There is a bit more to go at Wallace st and with funds becoming available for some of the outside gardening works we should see some improvement there early in 2023. The committee has discussed plans to do some more works around the hall and there a few project in the pipe line for latter in the year. Our membership is quite high at the moment and there will only be very limited places available for new members in 2023. I already have an extensive waiting list and we will be challenged to find places for new inquiries. If you have friends or family that are looking to join please let me know as soon as possible.
Thank you 10th Ivanhoe -- Merry Christmas

UPDATE DEC 13 2021
Unfortunately Xmas tree sales this year were disappointing as we were unable to get as many tress as we wanted. In a normal year we would sell around 550 trees however due to several factors we could only get 371 . Our two regular suppliers are saying that they have had a huge increases in demand and a lack of labor to groom , cut and prepare trees. This will unfortunately leave us with a bit of a funding void for next year. This combined with all the expenses of the building refurbishment project at the Wallace street hall will require us to look closely at our budget for next year.
THANK YOU -- to all the families that helped with Xmas tree sales,collection , deliveries and unloading etc etc . Its been a huge team effort once again and it is really fantastic to see families help out at this type of event so that the leaders now have the resources to provide the great programs for the next year.
XMAS PARTY - Group Xmas party ( brought to you by our venturer unit) is this Wednesday (15/12/21) 6:30pm - I hope to see everyone there , and thank you to those that responded promptly to Edwards Operoo from )
We also wish our Scouts and leaders heading of to Jamboree in a few weeks all the best., Jamborees are with out doubt the most fun filled and exiting activity any scout can participate in. The experiences and friendships made on a Jamboree will stay with them for ever and the stories and adventures will told around the camp fires for many years.
Merry Xmas to everyone
UPDATE NOV 11 2021
The Wallace st hall renovation are winding up and the scaffolding has been removed and over the next week the builder will be moving out. The hall looks fantastic . So now our work begins. Shortly i will be calling out for a WORKING BEE to paint. We need to paint the inside of the hall , kitchen the new bathrooms and the leader room. So clean of your paint rollers and find you painting cloths as its a pretty big job. As usual the more help we get the easier and quicker it is for everyone.
UPDATE 22/09/21
Recent changes to the scout insurance requirements for trailers has meant that we must have a wheel lock installed be covered. So this week we installed a wheel lock on the Big white trailer and also the 6x7 tandem. The key to these are with myself ( Peter B group leader and Karl T quartermaster ) So if you need to use the trailer you will need to contact one of us for the key.
The Wallace st hall renovations have come to a stop as the builder have been locked out for two week due to the governments current industrial sector shutdown. This will probably push the completion date out towards the end of October
Updated 06-09-2021
The Wallace street renovation are progressing slowly. Unfortunately due to the current covid restrictions our builders are only permitted 5 worker on site at any time. We anticipate that they will have completed the works towards the end of September. After they move out we need to complete some works ourselves. This includes lining the upstairs Leaders meeting room and painting . We will have a big weekend working bee ( DATE TBA)
Updated 19-07-2021
WALLACE ST
The Wallace street renovations have began. The builders have moved in and in about 10 weeks we should see our hall transformed. During this period all units will be meeting at the Ford street hall as your normal times. Including the dancing and Zomba classes This period will be a little difficult and we will need to move in and out of thew hall quickly so that we dont hold up those coming in before or after you. Extra lighting has been provided at the front gate and stairs and a hand rail to make it safer on the sometimes slippery stairs.
The working bee a few weeks ago to clean out the hall was a huge success. We had lots and lots of families turn up to help. Everything on the stage and upstairs Q-store was moved and we filled the huge skip. . Thank-you everyone for you assistance
Update 19-04-2021
WALLACE ST
The Wallace street renovation are now getting very close Our funding has been finalized ( money from many different sourc3es) Including $40K for 10th Ivanhoe ) WE are currently finalizing contracts and a few details and all going well we expect to start the works towards the end on MAY. Owen Mead ( Architect, Parent & scout leader) has spent hundreds of hours working with Branch to get this on its way and we should soon see the results of all his has work.
WORKING BEE In preparation for our building we will be running a working bee at Wallace street. We require ADULTS - Scouts and older to help move stuff from the rooms into the middle of the hall and to help fill the skip with the accumulated rubbish. DATE TBA ( as soon as we get a building start date ) I will let every one know.

Our Scout Group, like all other groups, is a family organization, and it is the participation of the members and their families that have made us so successful. All our leaders and committee members are parents of past or present members of our Scout Group. Some have been leaders for over 25 years and others have just begun. We do not get any financial assistance from the scout association and the training of leaders, management and funding of our hall and most other activities is provided from the annual fees and occasional fund raising activity. The scout association through its portion of the annual fees gives us the infrastructure and support required to provide scouting programs.
Cubs meet on Monday nights, Joeys and Scouts meet on Tuesday nights, and Venture's meet on Wednesday nights,Rovers meet on Thursday nights at a different hall. Many of the meetings are held in our own Scout hall at Ford Street Ivanhoe and others are held at outside venues depending on the particular activity. WE ARE SCOUTS AND WE LOVE TO DO ACTIVITIES IN THE OUTDOORS.
A few of our leaders help run the Scouting around show on the 96.5 inner FM radio station The show is on every thurday from 6pm till 7 pm. Often we have youth members coming it to talk about their scouting adventures.
Waiting. Lost of cubs all waiting for their turn to zoom down Billy cart mountain. It can be a little scary the first time but every one had a go.
And its badge time. As part oi the end of year celebrations, we had out lots of badges that the cubs have earned over the past few months.
