ANZAC Day ... a day to reflect, remember, give thanks and serve.

As part of the ANZAC Day experience the 1st Ballan Scout Group come together on ANZAC Eve to experience a Sleepover at the Scout Hall. During the evening the streets of Ballan are explored visiting the Cenotaph, ANZAC Lone Pine and Ballan RSL Club to learn more about the local ANZAC history before settling down to sleep.

Waking up at 5am our Joeys, Cubs, Scouts & Venturers walk down to the ANZAC Lone Pine tree where they join the local community and quietly participated in the Ballan Dawn Service. In the early afternoon our youth are invited back to return to the streets of Ballan to participate in and support the local ANZAC Parade, March & Service.

As always, it is a good time for our youth to reflect, remember and respect those within our community, within our Group and also within their families.  It is a time where our youth truly understand the concept of Community Service.
