Mundaring Rovers

Mundaring Sewing Night! 🧵🪡

A couple weeks ago, we learnt how to create and sew pump bags from scratch with Jess.

Pump bags make palliative care patients' lives a little easier, allowing them to carry their pain relief pump hands free.

Unfortunately, hospitals rely on donations of these bags and often go short.

After visiting a relative in palliative care, Jess was inspired to make pump bags to donate to the hospital, in fun and gender neutral designs.

Jess created instructions and a pattern, and we all set to work in our sewing night, where we learnt the sewing basics, how to use an overlocker and bag making techniques, to create the pump bags.

The Rovers made twelve bags, which were then donated to the very appreciative Bunbury Regional Hospital Palliative Care Ward.

CARL'S BOOTING 🥾

Last week, Mundaring Rovers past and present came together to farewell and "boot" our longstanding Rover Advisor, Carl.

Carl joined our Unit as Rover Advisor in 2017 and has supported us through countless individual and Unit milestones ever since. Bringing a wealth of experience as a former Rover himself, he has always been ready to lend a hand, offer guidance, and support us whenever needed.

Thank you, Carl, for your dedication to Scouting and to Mundaring Rovers over the years. Your contribution has made a lasting impact on our Unit and its members.

ANZAC SERVICES 2026

This year our Rover Unit attended services and vigils at Kings Park with WA Rovers, and Black Boy Hill with groups from Bilgoman and Swan Valley Districts.

As with every year, our Rover Scouts were honoured to have the opportunity to pay our respects and acknowledge the service of Australia's armed forces. Thankyou to the organisers of both Scouting events and the RSL.

SANDMOOT 2026: TOGAMOOT
📮 A postcard from Eaton 🐬
At the beginning of the month, nine Mundaring Rovers made the trek down to Eaton for
Sandmoot, and the postcard has just arrived!

We mixed and mingled with plenty of Rovers. We even joint together with our fellow hills Rover Units to create the mega-unit KALADARING. We invested our newest Rover, Joey and helped clean up and restore the Eaton property.

We visited the beach for games and fun, before FIVE Mundaring Rovers competed in a heinous rendition of Iron Guts. Catered by Parker, they feasted on mushy peas & sardines, soy sauce mocktails, sourdough starter and jellied mackeral and beans (among many other dishes).

Finally, we explored Bunbury in a scavenger hunt, enjoyed some beach fishing and sampled the region on the Gourmet Tour.

If you like the look of the adventures we get up to at Mundaring, send us a message to organise a visit to our unit!

Last year Mundaring was recognised for being the great Unit we are - by taking out multiple awards at the WARC AGM and Awards Night ✨️

We were recognised as Unit of the Year and Most Active Unit, as well as bringing home a Quality Rovering Award and awards at an individual level.

Last year we caught up with the Darlington and Herne Hill Venturers to compete in a night of debate!

Topics included "should Scouts wear socks to camp?", "should you fight 100 duck sized emus, or 1 emu sized duck?" and "is it better to have spaghetti for hair or cheese for fingers?"

Thank you to all Units that attended! We had a blast!
