On Saturday 14th March 1st Meadowridge Scout Group hosted the Two Oceans District Muddy Meerkat event. This event consists of 6 activity bases, and 2 fun crossover bases, teaching the Meerkats to challenge themselves, learn new skills and most importantly have fun though messy outdoor play!
The bases consisted of: apple bobbing, gladiator sword fight on a balance beam, fishing grub out of a murky slime pool, the old school chocolate game, a muddy puddle limbo, and dodging an onslaught of soaked sponges.
The crossover bases were the famous tarp slip 'n slide, and the leopard crawl tunnel. The laughter, screeching and general buzz in the air was tangible!
During our snack break, yummy hotdogs, crisps and cold drinks were served, and the Cub Pack ran an awesome cake sale table to raise funds for our new community project, Project Bloom.
The day was a huge success and everyone got to go home with a snazzy Muddy Meerkat 2026 badge.
Only one question was left unanswered... Who had more fun???? The Meerkats, their parents or the Scouters & MI's??
