District Sailing Day (28th October, 2004)
November 28th, Scout Sailing Center - Sandringham. Well we managed to get 63 from the District, pretty good! A fun time was had by all, in-spite of the pile of smelly seaweed that had to be negotiated to get into the water.

Eltham Festival (13-14th November, 2004)
November 13-14th The Eltham Festival was on again. Our participation was down to marching in the parade this year, but with all of the local flooding experienced over this weekend that was probably not a bad thing. The march followed an unusal route through the reserves this year, and didn't seem to be as successful as previous years. 1st Eltham had a good turnout from the Joeys and we had 3 Gellibrand Cubs, being the only Scout Group in the march we had several membership enquiries at the Scout's sausage sale tent on the oval. A good result!
