🔥 What a fun night! 🔥

Our Scouts built shelters from tarps, ropes and pegs, with some getting creative and using rocks to help secure them. The leaders then put them to the test with a splash of water!

After a delicious dinner of spaghetti bolognese and garlic bread, we prepared chocolate brownie oranges for the fire and practised fire-lighting using flints and cotton balls. We used microscopes to look at the structures of natural resources and developed our hand skills by drilling holes into timber.

A great night of adventure, learning and plenty of laughs! ⛺🍊🔥

🔥 Looking forward to seeing everyone this Friday for another big night of Bushcraft & Camping Skills! 🏕️

This week our youth will explore some important outdoor survival and camping questions, including:

🌿 Why do we need a shelter when sleeping outdoors?
🔥 How do you safely cook a foil wrapped snack on a fire?
⛺ Why is it important to camp in existing campsites?

Weather permitting, we’ll also be building forts, campfires and completing some fun bushcraft activities!

🍝 Don’t forget to RSVP for dinner – Spaghetti Bolognaise & Garlic Bread are on the menu 😋

For the past 2 weeks our Joeys and Cubs have been working hard on their Level 1 & 2 OAS Aquatics, with some also completing requirements towards their SIA Adventure and Sport badges. 🏊‍♀️🌊

Our Scouts have enjoyed learning new skills, demonstrating existing skills, and leading and supporting others through their requirements. From swimming front and back, floating, and signaling for help, to learning how to correctly put on a PFD, everyone gave it their all and had a fantastic two nights together.

To top it all off, we finished with a healthy dinner visit to McDonalds each week! 🍟😁

Well done to all our Joeys and Cubs for their enthusiasm, teamwork and effort!

Thanks Gecko for helping us with our PFD skills and Rangeville Scouts Group for joining us on this adventure.
