VICTORIA SCOUT GROUP
2 DONE goes to all campers who showed responsibility and brotherhood during the storm that broke out during Easter Sunday night. Through this column I wish to thank all those parents who participate in the Group’s fund raising activities. It is thanks to their help that our group can continue to function.

Another thank you goes to the Group Council members who accepted to continue to serve in the council for the coming year. We also welcome a new member, Mrs Celine Portelli who joined the Council recently. A much deserved thank you goes to Mr Joe Cassar who resigned from the council after serving the Group for over thirty years, starting as a member, than as the Group’s secretary and for the last years as the Group’s Chairman. Mr. Cassar resigned from the council during

the AGM. Joe was instrumental in the extension of our headquarters and in buying a garage near HQ which garage we are using as the main strore for our camping equipment. Thank you once more Mr Cassar for all your work within the group during all those years. We now wish you more relaxing moments in the future.
The group would like to congratulate Assistant Scout Leader Ryan Azzopardi and his wife Tiziana on the birth of their first born, baby Alexis. A daughter brings sunshine to brighten your day. A daughter brings joy through her loving ways. A daughter is a blessing that comes from above. A special and beautiful treasure to love.
