ANZAC Day 2012

On Wednesday 25th Of April all the Joeys, Cubs, Scouts, Venturers, Rovers and Leaders gathered for one last time at the old hall location in preparation for the ANZAC Day March down High Street, Wodonga.

 

 Once everyone was gathered we took the opportunity to get one last photo at the old hall.

 

 The whole group marched proudly, displaying their flags and being clapped by an appreciative crowd.

Despite the length of the march everyone was marching well even at the end.

Waiting for their parents the group discusses the march.

 

 

 A proud moment to bear the flag for one of our young cubs.

 

Another successful  march comes to a conclusion.

On the evening of the 15th April 2012 the 1st Wodonga Scout group had a celebration to see off the old hall with a BBQ and a Bonfire where marshmallows were toasted for dessert.
