Fairlight Manly Scouts and Venturers held a canned food drive to help local families in need
Inspired by the US holiday of ‘Thanksgiving’, the Scouts collected more than 150 tins of food.
They created an artwork out of the cans before learning about the US traditions of Thanksgiving and getting a taste of the traditional sweet treat – pumpkin pie.
The food was then donated to LocalKind Northern Beaches based at the Soldiers Memorial Hall, 52 Raglan Street, Manly.
Today the Fairlight/Manly Cubs, Scouts and Venturers were marched together for the first time in Fairlight/Manly scouting history at the ANZAC ceremony in manly. Together we commemorated the sacrifice and bravery of the ANZAC soldiers and celebrated the legacy of mate-ship they left behind which shaped the Australian culture and spirit for years to come. The lighthearted, humorous attitude that the soldiers kept up through thick and thicker created the ANZAC legacy, which even through defeat, we wear as a badge of honour
