Hi all,

Just thought I would pass this along. I only received it last night, so apologies for the late notice.

During April Scouts Australia is holding its first Action Week. Action week is a program that has been designed for all the Scouting sections and annually the program will focus on a specific skill that Scouts can use in everyday life. This year Scouts Australia has teamed up with St John Ambulance to provide training and assistance to all sections.
