Each Unit has it's own account, debit cards & online banking LGSS maintains one bank account for each of our Units so that the Adult Leaders of each Unit can manage and spend their funds to run activities for the Unit. Each Unit is allowed 2 Adult Leaders with Bendigo debit cards and electronic access to the Unit's bank account (unless there is a special arrangement with the Group Leader). Process to get a Unit debit card & online banking Below is the process for Adult Leaders to get a Unit debit card & online banking: 1. The Leader requesting a card or online banking emails the main Leader of their Unit seeking approval. 2. The main Leader of the Unit sends a reply email to the Leader requesting and the Group Leader granting approval. 3 . The Leader requesting uses the Bendigo Bank table below to work out what they have to do next. Leader requesting access… Action for Leader requesting Has never had access to a Bendigo account 1. Go to ANY Bendigo Branch to create a Bendigo ID. 2. Take the BSB & Account No you are being added to, and 100 points of identification. 3.

The Group Leader contacts Erin Hall directly (email, phone, or walk-in) to ask Erin to grant the Leader requesting access to the account. 6. Erin does a bunch of stuff that ends in her sending an electronic signature request via email & SMS messages as follows: a. first to the Group Leader requesting the change in account access b. then to the Leader requesting 7. Once the electronic signatures are both done, and Erin has the form back, she adds the Leader requesting to the account and contacts them directly to find which access is required (debit card and/or internet banking). 8. The Leader requesting receives access to account electronically from Erin. Note for other Groups: Scout Groups in the ACT need to have their own unique Bendigo Customer Number, not use the Scouts ACT one. Call Erin to check if your Group has one and if necessary ask her to create one for your Group.

Kitchen refurbishment - January 2018

The friendliest Scout group in Canberra providing adventure for young people aged 5 to 25 years. Located on the foreshore, Lake Ginninderra Sea Scouts focus on water activities (sailing & canoeing) as well as doing traditional Scouting. Our amazing hall is also available for groups to hire and use. Welcome to Lake Ginnindera Sea Scouts Lake Ginninderra Sea Scouts (LGSS) are located on the shores of Lake Gininnderra at the Belconnen Town Centre in the Australian Capital Territory. We have a purpose-built Scout hall and being a Sea Scout group we have a well equipped boat shed with a large range of sail boats and canoes. Although our activities are based in, on or around the water in the summer months, LGSS still participate in a broad range of land based activities like camping, hiking, abseiling and lots more. LGSS compliments the family and school by providing an opportunity for young people to explore their boundaries while learning important life skills. Scouts discover the world beyond the classroom tapping into the skills of others to learn, and then passing that knowledge on. Scouting is a Movement on the move. In an ever-changing world , Scouting changes to adapt to the needs of members. Scouting is no longer just knot tying and badge work. Scouts develop skills they need for life, by encouraging fun, friendship, caring and learning. Like most Scout Groups, LGSS is completely run by volunteers. We have an amazing array of people who help to make everything happen for our Scouts: a fabulous Group Leader, amazing Adult Leaders, an industrious Group Support Committee, switched on Youth Patrol Leaders, and a very supportive group of parents and careers. If you would like to know more about the different age sections of our Group (5 to 18 years old), click on the About LGSS menu. Sign up a Scout!

The Group Support Committee Overview The Group Support Committee (GSC) handles much of the administration of the Group and is typically made of up of parents, family and friends of youth in the Scout Group, and other people with a keen interest in Scouting. The LGSS GSC meets bimonthly. Committee Roles The LGSS GSC has designated the following roles: Chair Treasurer Secretary Membership Officer Hall Hire Manager Hall Maintenance Manager Quartermaster Webmaster Action Item Register The GSC maintains the Action Item Register below to track jobs that the Committee has. Completed jobs are not shown. Funding Wish List LGSS has created a Funding Wish List to identify the things that we would like to have, but don't have the funds for at present. That way if funds might be available, we can flag what we would use them for. If you want to add something to this list, just use our Contact page to send in your suggestion. Items on this list will move to the GSC Action Item Register if we begin to action them.
