Troop Camp and Adventurer Hike at Mt Crawford
We were really blessed with very kind weather for our Scout Troop Camp in the school holidays! Big storms on either side, but the scouts had wonderful mild weather for their hikes and camping. Just a little rain on the last morning to remind us that the weather isn’t always so kind. Check out all the photos that the scouts took on their 30km Adventurer hike, which went from the East side of Mt Crawford forest then via Chalks campground to Mt Crawford summit and on to Rocky Paddock campsite and the nearby fire lookout. |
Welcome back!The Scouts had a great time at the Australian Jamboree 2010 in NSW were they spend a good 10 days filled with all sorts of adventurous activities and we saw a bit of Sydney too! Now that we all had some time to relax and school has started again, it is also time for another year of Scouting. And from what I can see, it looks like another full year of events, so check out the event calendar and talk to your section leaders about what is coming up. Meeting times are like last year, so:
