and other groups.
The Cub Pack currently has 6 invested Cubs, 2 New Chums to be invested before camp and 2 inquiries to transfer in.
Lone Scouts have three Leaders and 10 youth. There are two recruits.
For the September Weeklong Camp, we have 25 Scouts (11 are Lone Scouts, including our two recruits).
We are looking forward to much badgework, meeting old friends from the 2013 Weeklong, and making new
friends. Some of our Lones got to know Lynchwood at our June Long Weekend camp. For others, this will
be their first visit. More news after the camp!

Hi Everyone,
I recently participated in the state Konara at Glenfield in Sydney. Konara is a state training
camp for Joey Leaders and it is only held once every three years. I had a wonderful time
catching up with other joey leaders and sharing and learning great ideas for our Joey Mobs.
We have been fairly quiet on the joey front however I do have some exciting news. I would
like to send out a big welcome Hop to our newest joey Felicity. We look sharing your joey
journey with you and your family.

Over the past 2 months Rovers have been busy with the crew currently standing at 3 Rover Knights, 11
Rover Squires and 1 Recruit. Our Squires are actively working on their Squire training, which is the first step
towards their Baden Powell Scout award and becoming fully active members of the Rover community. We
have 3 Venturers who are receiving our section newsletter Lone Rover as they are 17 ½ I invite them get in
touch with the crew and commence their link badge, contact details in Lone Rover or at the end of Bunora.
The crew is also working with Fellowship on the groups 100th Anniversary celebrations next year, if you
know someone who has previously been part of the group please make sure you get them to contact us or
pass on their details so they can be invited to the celebrations. Over the next few months we have at least 5
camps planned with activities ranging from service, geocaching and even the booting of our eldest member
who recently turned 26 and as such is no longer young enough to be a youth member.
The Fellowship invested two new members at the North Coast Region Rally. Nigel Petersen invested Scott Witchard and Christine Challinor. Trevor and Helen Nickl were also present.
Stephen, Matthew, Jacinta and Liz attended the June long week end camp and had a great time meeting
people at a very relaxing camp. Les Goodfellow and Peter Nickl attended the Greater Western Sydney
Jamborette on the June Long Weekend.
Planning has started on Centenary events. We are trying to contact past NSW Lones members, if you know
any can you please send through their contact details to Jacinta.
2015 NSW LONES TURNS 100 2015 sees NSW Lone Scout Group turn 100.
Do you know someone who has been part of the group at some
stage over the past 100 years? Send us their details so we can
ensure that they are invited to the celebrations.
At this stage we are looking at holding the celebrations in the
September School holidays although nothing else is set in concrete at
this stage.
Ron Penn and Peter Nickl will be going to visit Rusty Russell (Lones
leader 1950s-1960s) in the near future who will be able to assist with
our history.
