When the local Moorabool Shire put out a call to help the local community by stacking wood for residents throughout the Shire, the 1st Ballan Scout Group very quickly put up their hand and said we are willing to help, with families from across all our Scouting Sections pitching in to support our community.
Gathering at the Hall the families travelled to a house in Ballan where they worked together to very quickly stack the wood delivered by the local council. From there a plan was implemented to divided and conquer as wood stacking teams were created to support a variety of residents within the Shire. With the Shire working in unison to stay ahead of our Scout Group by delivering the firewood prior to our teams arrival, everything ran very smoothly. Throughout the day our wonderful families travelled far and wide within our Shire to support local residents by stacking wood in sheds, car ports, shipping containers and on outdoor racks.
It was a very successful day of service where our youth helped keep many people warm.
