Together for MefeKing Park
Supporting Scouting Community
during the recent Longwood Victorian bushfires in early January, Mafeking Rover Park was severely damaged. Mafeking Rover Park is a Rover Scouts Victoria owned property, managed by a young and dedicated group of Rovers.
Impact of the Bushfire
Bushfire Appeal
Following the bushfires, Rover Scouts Victoria, in collaboration with Scouts Victoria, launched a fundraising appeal that raised over $60,000 in the first 24 hours. Donations can still be made through the Shout for Good donation page. Alongside this initiative, a local Rover Scout has designed a fundraising badge, which can currently be ordered through the Scout Shop. All proceeds from this fundraiser will be used to help rebuild Mafeking Rover Park.
