π₯ΎβοΈ Ethanβs First Class Hike! βοΈπ₯Ύ
On 15 & 16 August, Ethan took on an important milestone in his Scouting journey - his First Class Hike, leading his Patrol from Bordjiesrif to Boulders Beach through the beautiful but challenging terrain of Table Mountain National Park.
This was about much more than hiking! Ethan had to plan the route, organise his Patrol, work out timings and distances, plan meals and equipment, identify water points and emergency procedures, and put his navigation, leadership and outdoor skills into practice.
Along with Sean, Nick and Sam, the Patrol tackled steep climbs, challenging terrain and approximately 24 km over two days, including an overnight stay at Eagles Rest. β°οΈποΈ
A huge well done to Ethan and the whole Patrol! π You should all be incredibly proud of what you accomplished.
Another adventure, another challenge conquered, and plenty of skills for life! πβοΈ
