Scouts celebrate a century

SCOUTS, Joeys, Cubs, Venturers and Rovers marched to the steps of Parliament House to celebrate the centenary of scouting and the 150th anniversary of Sir Robert BadenPowell’s birth.
The march on 24 February was followed by activities in the Treasury Gardens where some of the Pakenham Venturers were lucky enough to meet Melbourne Lord Mayor John So.
