May 29, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you didn’t make it to the Kingaroy Scouts’ annual show’n’shine on Saturday, you missed out on more than just a well-attended car show.<\/p>\n

Queensland Fire and Emergency Service personnel put on several displays, demonstrating bushfire awareness as well as the skills that Kingaroy firefighters must put into action when they attend a motor vehicle crash.<\/p>\n

There was also food and drinks and a jumping castle for the kids – as well as lots of cars, motorbikes and even some construction equipment.<\/p>\n

One group enjoying the day was the Olsen family who turned out in force to see Kingaroy scout\u00a0Jamie-Lee Olsen presented with her Australian Scout Medallion.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To qualify for this award – which is the highest in Australian scouting – Jamie-Lee had to complete the Adventurer level in scouting, which included a three-day hike, along with a leadership course, then undertake a project.<\/p>\n

She chose to erect an outdoor chapel, complete with pews and a pulpit, at the rear of the Kingaroy Scouts’ block of land in James Street.<\/p>\n

Jamie-Lee had to organise the use of a dingo to dig the postholes as well as the timber.<\/p>\n

Funds were raised through one month of sausage sizzles outside SupaIGA in Kingaroy as well as help from the scouts’ Parents’ Committee.<\/p>\n

In the end, the final construction took just two days.<\/p>\n

Also presented with certificates of the day by Kingaroy Scouts were South Burnett Mayor Keith Campbell and QFES Kingaroy Station Officer Bruce Groer.<\/p>\n

Kingaroy firefighters put on a live demonstration of how they would remove a trapped and injured passenger from a wrecked car. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The sacrificial vehicle \u00a0– possibly a 1989 Lexus –\u00a0put up a bit of a fight but it was no match for the Kingaroy firies.<\/p>\n

The firefighters still managed to extract their “patient” in less than 20 minutes. …<\/p>\n
