Hi Neil,
I sent you a PM but wanted to say thanks again.
Mitchell, Georgie & Gemma had a great time sorting through the badges & patches and have, after negotiation, decided who gets what. One of the Dandenong Jamboree badges will be presented to Akela as he is very interested in Scouting history.
The Scout related badges will go on their Camp Blankets (not too many kids have these but we stick with tradition here).
Over a few years I've picked up several Scout hats (Mountie type & Akubra type) along with belts from Op Shops. The last Mountie type hat had the plywood storer to keep the brim straight !
A few years ago I was asked to carve a small wolf's head to mount on a stick to be used by Akela at ceremonies (something from the past I believe).
Our eldest dropped out of Scouts, the next dropped out of Venturers but we still have a Venturer, Scout & Cub plus SWMBO is a Cub Leader. I'm a parent helper and have been asked several times to put on a uniform but we need one sane person in the household....
Mitchell went to America last year on the International Jamboree and I can see him going on to Rovers and then back as a leader.
Anyway, many thanks because the badges are greatly appreciated.
