Family camp at Scout hall
The First Woy Woy Sea Scouts hosted a family camp weekend at the North Burge Rd Scout Hall last month.
Group publicity officer Ms Julie Crowhurst said that although a small number of families took part in the weekend, all had lots of fun together.
"The children of our group and their siblings spent most of the time out in to water, canoeing, swimming and splashing around," Ms Crowhurst said.
"The parents had time to sit back and rest and enjoy themselves too."
Ms Crowhurst said the Scout group also welcomed two new leaders in Mr Damien Stables and Ms Margaret Steele.
"Damien Stables was invested as an associate leader for the cubs section and Margaret Steele was invested as an associate leader for the scouts section of the First Woy Woy Sea Scouts Group.
"The group needs more leaders to be able to keep our group open and we are currently looking for Joeys to join.
"The age group for Joeys are six to eight years old and we need a leader or parent helpers to start Joeys again."
Ms Crowhurst said the Cub section were for eight to ten years of age while the Scouts were from 10 to 14 years.
"Both boys and girls are welcome to join," Ms Crowhurst said.
"You get four free nights to see if your child likes the section or not.
"If adults want to join, they can come on down and see the sections run and see if they are interested in coming on board."
The First Woy Woy Sea Scout group program starts with Scouts on Monday nights from 6.30pm to 8pm and Cubs on Thursday evenings from 7pm to 8.30pm.
Woy Woy Scout Hall is located on North Burge Rd, opposite Lions Park in Woy Woy.
"We only run during school terms, with section leaders arranging outings and other activities during the holidays," Ms Crowhurst said.
