DescriptionBook titled “Sixty More Scout Games” donated by Gary Levi. Gary Levi was a Scout Leader in the 3rd Rose Bay Judean Scout Troop. The book features a series of team games suitable for Scout camps and meetings and building relationships and camaraderie. Examples of games include blindfold games, relays, treasure hunts, pass the penny, tug-o-war and shipwreck.
Before the Zionist youth groups and the rise of the Jewish day schools, the Judean Scouts and Girl Guides played an important role in connecting boys and girls from non-observant homes to Judaism. They could socialize, learn new skills and develop pride in their Jewish heritage. It also provided an opportunity to learn about Judaism, to celebrate the festivals and help prepare boys for their bar mitzvah. As part of the broader Australian Scouting movement, the Sydney Judean Scouts contributed to the development of the Australian community and culture of acceptance, tolerance and friendship and inclusivity for all. This in turn established a sense of Australian identity, which became apparent during the Second World War, when whole scout troops would enlist together.
Part of a large collection of memorabilia donated to the Sydney Jewish Museum by the 3rd Rose Bay Judean Scouts in 2008.
