John Pugh (Badger) and Robert Vettiger (Kaa)
2nd Toowoomba Scouts over the past few years has been a driving force in Scouting in the Toowoomba area due to the leadership of Rob Vettiger (Kaa).
I hope to continue this tradition and see our group continue to grow.
I look forward to reforming our Venturer and Rover sections, training more leaders and most importantly guiding our young people through Scouting.
Over the next few years I also hope to see improvements to our buildings and grounds.
Scouting in Australia is for all and is one of the few organisations in the world that is multi-faith and non-gender specific.
It's fantastic to see our boys and girls at Scouts; they bring a great energy to our group.
Our parents are a fantastic social group who make our group the strength that it is.Lastly,
I cannot go past our leaders, all dedicated people, trained to care for our children.
These men and women give up their time to be leaders and the rewards are hard to describe to our group and to themselves.
Thanks to all and I hope to see you soon at 2nd Toowoomba
Joey Scout Leaders Khadija Clifford Pugh (Koala) & Jay McEvoy (Corelle)
Koala
Koala (Khadija) was born in Melbourne but educated and raised in Toowoomba. She graduated from the University of Southern Qld with a Diploma of Arts in 2006 and is now studying for her Bachelors Degree. Koala is married to Badger (Group Leader John Pugh) and is the stay at home Mum of 5 children, Jadzia, Brittania, Xander, Fatima and Noah. The eldest 3 are youth members of 2nd Toowoomba Scouts. Koala collects teddy bears and has a huge collection of over 400 bears. She also loves singing, and is currently learning to play the Guitar. Her other hobbies include sewing, crochet, scoobies, computers; including Ebay, the internet and watching far too much Science Fiction television! Koala became involved in Scouting when her two eldest daughters joined Cubs and Joeys at 2nd Toowoomba in 2006.
Corelle
Corelle (Jay) was born and raised in Western Queensland (Charleville District) and educated at Presbyterian Girls College at Warwick. She moved to Toowoomba through her work and family in 1989, and has moved away and back to Toowoomba numerous times since then. Corelle who is married to David (Skip – 2nd Toowoomba’s previous Venturer leader) have a son Sean who is also heavily involved with 2nd Toowoomba and is currently a Venturer. Corelle became involved with Darling Downs Scout Review in 1989 and has been involved with Scouting since that time. She became the Assistant Joey Scout Leader prior to the departure of Lorikeet and took over as Joey Scout Leader in approximately 2000. Corelle has been involved with the Darling Downs Scout Review as assistant and for the past number of years as the ‘make-up lady’, and looks forward to each year’s production. Completion of courses and training within Scouting saw Corelle presented with her Warrant in 2003, and he has since completed some training in Venturing as well. After 13 years in the Royal Australian Air Force, Corelle also holds a Defence Service Medal, which she wears on Friday nights at the Den whilst in uniform. Corelle’s hobbies include reading, socialising and of course all aspects of Scouting, but particularly developing young minds like Joey scouts, into tolerant, good mannered, open minded young men and women to lead Australia into a fresher brighter world.
