I would like to thank everyone in the Australian Scouting Community for their valued support over the past 10 days. Our first aim in Queensland is to make sure that Scouting keeps happening and that sectioned programmes start back on their due date.

Currently there have been 21 properties that have been affected, with the Queensland Branch Headquarters being one of them.  Scouts Queensland has a Natural Disaster fund set-up and are taking donations the details are as follows BSB: 034 010 ACC: 156 442 Name: The Scout Assoc of Aust Qld Branch. Please earmark funds being donated to this fund as Disaster Fund.

Funds from this account go directly to helping affected Scouting properties rebuild and get back to normal as soon as possible.

We are currently in the throes of setting up a Branch Office and expect to have telephone and internet to this office in 3-5 days. Once this happens we will advise and all of the normal e-mail address will apply. We are currently working on a much smaller staff then what we normally have and therefor it make some time to action any emails received.

Thank you for all of your support over the past 10 days as soon as more information is available we will update you.
