FOLLOWING in the footsteps of Rover Scouts dating back to 1931, Elliott Luke is arriving at the Eumeralla Scout Camp on January 25 for a Surfmoot and is calling on Surf Coast residents for their old couches.<\/p>\n
Journeying through Scouts from a Joey Scout, Cub Scout, Scouts, and Venturer Scouts to a Rover, Elliott joins over 300 fellow members (18 years onwards) for three days of celebrations over the Australia Day weekend.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m part of the organising committee for this year\u2019s Surfmoot. A Surfmoot is a celebration where we have bands, entertainment, planned activities and camping,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve organised bus trips and tours to the chocolatier and beach across the three days as well as onsite activities. What we really need is couches for people to sit on under the gazebos we\u2019re going to set up.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will be coming down the weekend prior to set up so we\u2019re hoping if anyone is wanting to get rid of any old couches they can contact me, and I\u2019ll come pick them up.\u201d<\/p>\n
Elliott said they all camp in tents and bring their own food and drinks but obviously can\u2019t bring their own couches.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve had a lot of complaints in the past about limited seating and places to relax. I\u2019ve come up with the idea of setting up a beer garden with couches out of the sun and a space where you can relax.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere will be board games, a projector and a colouring station. After we\u2019ve used the couches we\u2019ll donate them to the Victorian Rover Council.\u201d<\/p>\n
If anyone is wanting to donate a couch, or have a couch removed from their property Elliott said he will be collecting from January 18-20.<\/p>\n
