February. The 1st Bulawayo Scout Troop is looking to build their Scout Den at Hillside Dams in this their hundredth year. They are looking for any wooden or iron hut or suitable materials that can be used to create this structure amongst the rocks at the "Dams". If you are clearing out and have something to offer it would be most gratefully received.
March. As part of the centennial celebrations, the Province Of Matabeleland is planning amongst many other activities, to exhibit at this year's Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF). Individuals and institutions that have been associated with the Scouts Movement and have photographs, books, memoirs and other memorabilia and are willing to lend/give the same to the Matabeleland Scout Council for possible use at the exhibition, may contact Givens Hapadziwi (Vice-Chairman, Matabeleland Scout Council) or any of his colleagues as stated below.
I have been to Willsgrove and got quotes for Centenary Wall plates, Coffee mugs and Morning tea sets. They cost the same amount that you would have paid in US dollars in 1986 - a bargain! I will place an order next week and I should get them in four week's time - so place your orders now with N.Scott. 100 Gordon Park Metal "Pins" for jackets/hats have been made & are available at £3 each.
April 7 Two hundred Centenary badged Willsgrove coffee mugs and five morning tea sets have been made and are selling out fast.

The 2009 Zimbabwe Centenary Camp has been officially opened by the Minister of Education, Arts, Sports and Culture, Senator David Coltart yesterday at a colourful Scouting ceremony. The proceedings kick started with the sound of a kudu horn blown by Christopher of the 1st Pioneer. The Minister was then introduced by the Acting Chief Scout Commissioner Ignitius Kajengo. The moment that left Scouts hearts leaping with joy was when the Minister revealed that he was a Cub Scout at 8th Hillside. He then urged the Scouts to value the heroes holidays as this is a national event. He was then taken for a tour of Gordon Park by Norman Scott and journalists before proceeding for lunch at the Headquarters area.
