Scruffies news reporters gave some of their highlights of the day…
Thank you to the NEW Scruffies news Team volunteers, for Photos, Stories and sometimes being the story....
Scruffie briefs the Team on their roles and responsibilities,
He runs a very safe environment and has no times for
Hoons, cowboys or People who won't wear helmets.
Scruffie being Mindful before the Kick off. Scruffie uses a
powernap to offset the potential stress of being in charge
of a complex undertaking.
All set. Boats ready, now we need some friends to come
and have fun.
Spencer supervisors some of his joeys as they embark on
some canoeing (ED. Note that many rovers and venturers are still
Joeys to Spencer, despite their age..)

Correct paddle technique equals Speed. Scruffie has
taught one scout and now She teaches another, That’s
the Skills cycle.
Scruffie says hi to his old mates. Everyone remembers
Scruffie and he remembers everyone. (ED. Although he
sometimes relies on the editorial and intern staff for the details)
There were great conditions with just the right amount of
Sun and wind for all activities. Scruffie loves Melbourne.
So lucky to live here. (ED Scruffie wants to Open a Weather desk -
So many choices, something for everyone, News team
awaits to see who falls in first ..........
Even Scruffie gets hungry and so It was great that Rotary
came along to Handle his Special dietarty needs and
make sure he was fuelled. (ED. Scruffie rated 4 stars on trip
No event can occur unless Scruffie gets his coffee.
Fortunatley the he is not the only one.
Every news hack needs a coffee shop.
Any takers)

The event progresses with comfortable routine. Scruffie
has taught everyone well and sits down to watch from a
Distance as the Machine runs like clockwork.
Scruffie really likes Karkarook. Such a great Sailing
location.
Scruffies Mates were also organised making sure all his
friends could be comfortable AND Adventurous. Like
Scouts. - Well prepared.
Being A Celebrity Adventure dog is Exhausting,
fortunatley Scruffie has his own Entourage for his quiet
moments.
Are the reporters on a break - again???
Will this photo Make the front cover ? (Ed. No! it didnt)

Scruffie is a Thinker. He often contemplates meaning with
other thinkers. He and Uncle Bryan had a thinking
contest. (Ed. We are not sure who won)
Scruffie has been training new interns to be rescuers..
unfortunately his events run so well that the rescuers
tend to get bit bored. (Ed. And we all know what bored
Scruffie and his friends Socialise. Getting on with people is
one of Scruffies best Skills.
Scruffie is an Expert First Aider. With his Entourage, He
reviews the Tools, Skills and Personal to make sure it
meets his high Standards. He is Well satisfied.
venturers mean..!)
Scruffie asks. "Do you sometimes feel someone is
watching you ? "
Scruffie watched as skills are passed on as Older Youth
help the younger ones
Scruffie Says "This is why PFD's are compulsory, so that
Fun can be compulsory"
A successful day requires moving parts and Operation.

Marshall Tony. As usual, Everything is Excellent.
