Manjimup scouts growing

The Manjimup Scouts group celebrated its 90th birthday in October as dozens of members turned out in support. Held at the clubhouse of the Manjimup unit, the day featured rock-climbing, wood-cutting, knot-tying classes, and memorabilia crossing the many decades of activity. Manjimup Scouts leader Dave Allen said it was a great event and the children had fun. “I think the main thing is that the kids had a ball, and I think that is what it is all about,” he said. Mr Allen said the Manjimup Scouts were in a transition period and the club was only going to get bigger. “We had a lot of competition for a while with schools and sports but we are getting a lot more kids coming in now that we have the extra leaders,” he said. “The main thing would be to come along and try it. “We are a growing entity.”
