1st Mirboo North Scouts
Building Confidence, Community and Skills Through Scouting
The 1st Mirboo North Scout Group is the longest-established group in the South Gippsland District, originally part of the Tarwin District, and formed in 1908. For over a century, we’ve been helping young people grow through adventurous, values-based programs, and having a lot of fun along the way.
We currently offer Joeys (Ages 5–7), Cubs (Ages 8–10) and Scouts (Ages 11–14), providing structured and engaging activities for youth aged 5 to 15 years. Sessions are held every Tuesday afternoon at our base—the Scout Hall at 1 Couper Street, Mirboo North.
Thanks to a community grant from the Mirboo North & District Community Foundation in 2016, we were able to purchase two custom-branded, heavy-duty gazebos. These gazebos are now proudly used at camps, fundraising events and festivals like JOTA/JOTI, Gilweroo, and most recently the Thorpdale Potato Festival. They provide visibility, shelter, and a professional presence—far better than our old duct-taped tarps!
Pictured is Mellana and her son using the gazebo granted to the Scouts as part of a Community Grant from the foundation, at the Thorpdale potato festival.
The gazebo, easily visible from the other side of the oval, kept them
sheltered through a day of wind, drizzle and sunshine.
