Scouting is about Service and when an opportunity comes up to help others, support the Community and do a good turn, the 1st Ballan Scouts will roll their sleeves up and do the best they can. So when the call came to support the environment and get involved with a Community Tree Planting Day organised by Grow West, our Joeys, Cubs, Scouts & Venturers all accepted the challenge and had a great day supporting each other, supporting others and caring for the environment.
On a wonderful tree planting day our 1st Ballan tree planting team signed in at Telford Park, Bacchus Marsh - at the Bacchus Marsh Scout Hall - before planting 100's of trees. Once on site, our team grabbed tools, plants, guards and stakes and headed into our designated tree planting zone. Very quickly this zone filled with tree guards everywhere. But full of enthusiasm, our Scouts accepted the challenge of expanding their planting zone and continued to plant & water more and more and more trees. With everyone supporting each other and working together it was an enjoyable day where everyone had fun planting trees and caring for the local environment.
