Gosford scouts celebrate centenary

1st Gosford Scout Group

1st Gosford Scout Group, one of the oldest in the district, will celebrate its centenary on July 21.

The celebration event will be held at the Gosford Scout Hall at 10 Masons Pde, Point Frederick, from 10am and is open to all past, present and future scouts.

It promises to be a memorable gathering, with activities and displays that honour the rich history and achievements of the group over the past century.

Leader in charge Rachel Stedman said the milestone marked 100 years of dedication to fostering community spirit, outdoor skills and leadership in young people.

“1st Gosford proudly represents all sections of the scouting movement – Joeys, Cubs, Scouts, Venturers and Rovers,” she said.

“With an age range of 5-25, we empower all young people to become community-minded adults.”

Current members, their families and the greater community are invited to join in the festivities.

“The event aims to reconnect old friends, share memories and inspire the next generation of scouts,” Stedman said.

“Highlights will include historical exhibits, traditional scouting activities and a fun scavenger hunt for the youth.

“1st Gosford Scouts have played a pivotal role in the local community, consistently promoting the values of the scouting movement.

“As they mark this significant anniversary, the group looks forward to another century of adventure, service, and camaraderie.”
