Thanks to the Grant received from the Ministry for Gozo and Planning under the NGO Scheme 2023, the Victoria Scout Group invested heavily in camping equipment and had the possibility of repairing several damaged Ridge Tents which are used while camping. These tents can sleep between 8 and 10 scouts. This project allowed our members to work together to inspect the tents and recognise signs of possible damage to the canvas. Other equipment bought include Hike tents, Gazebos, Ropes and camping lights. The Group would like to thank the Ministry for Gozo and Planning for its financial help.
On my honour, I promise to do my best to do my duty to God and my country, to help other people at all times and to obey the Scout Law. – The Scout Promise
A good turn carried out by the campers at Easter Camp was that of collecting funds for Puttinu Cares Children’s Cancer Support Group. During the parents’ visit to camp, more donations were received. Then the Group rounded off the amount.
On Saturday 20th April, Group Scout Leader Jesmond Scerri presented a cheque for the amount of €800 to Mr Carmel Camilleri, representative of Puttinu Cares in Gozo.
On Sunday 21.04.2024, the Victoria Scout Group took part in the Scout and Guide Rally held in Valletta. The morning started off with a mass at St. Publius Church in Floriana. At the end of the mass, all Scouts and Guides renewed their Promise.
Later the Group joined the other Scout and Guide Groups and marched into Valletta. On entering St George’s Square, the Group saluted the Patron of the Associations Her Excellency Myriam Spiteri Debono, President of Malta, the Chief Scout Kevin Camilleri, the Chief Commissioner Anton Pisani, the President of the Malta Girl Guides Carmen Elina Camilleri and their Chief Commissioner Steph Anastasi as well as other officials of both Associations and Government representatives.
