Australian Scouts work to support Scouting in Fiji
A group of six South Australian Scout members travelled to Fiji recently, arriving two weeks after the cyclone that hit Fiji recently.
The Scouts’ helped rebuild two training huts at Jean-Murray Scout Training Centre in Suva, Fiji. The service project, sponsored by the South Australian Branch, was an adventure for the six Scouts who worked tirelessly given their strict timeline and resources. During their visit, much needed fishing equipment, clothing and tools were donated when visiting the worst hit villages on the Koro Island with Joji, an executive member of Fiji Scouts.
The Fijian Cyclone Appeal, co-ordinated by the South Australian Branch and contributed to by Scouts from around Australia, will also provide financial support in the order of AUD $3810.40 to support Scouting in Groups most affected by Cyclone Winston. The Appeal ran throughout March and April.
