There were some unfamiliar faces behind the counter at the Nanango Lions’ food van at the monthly Nanango markets on Saturday.
A small group of Nanango Scouts volunteered to help out as part of their community activities.
The scouts worked at the van from 8:00am to 11:00am, gaining useful experience which will help them earn their citizenship badge.
The troop meets weekly on Tuesdays from 5:00pm to 7:00pm during school terms at the Nanango Scouts Den on the corner of Elk and Henry streets.
Troop leader Ceinwen McKindley said as well as scouts, there were also joeys (aged 5-7) and cubs (aged 8-10).
At the moment the group was concentrating on campcraft skills, ie. building things out of wooden poles, navigation and first aid.
One or two camps are organised every school term.
The Nanango Scouts have a big garage sale planned at their den on August 4, which will be an important fundraiser for the troop.
The sale will run from 6:00am to noon and will feature all sorts of household items, antiques, bric-a-brac etc.
Ceinwen said donations of items would be welcomed from the public.
Stalls could also be booked for $10.
For more information, contact Ceinwen on 0430-110-634.
