So proud to share this! 🍲💚
The Owls Patrol from the 1st Cambridge Scouts Group set up a mini soup kitchen, turning the Scout Promise into real action. Warm meals, big hearts, and a beautiful reminder that even small acts of service can ripple through a community.

Well done to all the young Scouts for living out “helping other people at all times.” 👏

The 2nd Gonubie Sea Scouts recently put their outdoor skills to the ultimate test with an action-packed survival challenge that saw them battling the elements, mastering fire-starting, building shelters, and taking part in important communication exercises.

The event was designed to foster teamwork, resilience, and practical outdoor knowledge, and proved to be a memorable and exciting experience for everyone involved.

One of the highlights of the day was the shelter-building competition. Each patrol was given just 20 minutes to construct a survival shelter capable of withstanding tough outdoor conditions. As if on cue, Mother Nature added to the challenge by unleashing heavy rain, giving the Scouts the perfect opportunity to test their designs in real conditions.

The Scouts also practised clear and rapid communication in critical situations, an important skill in any outdoor or survival environment.

After a night spent “surviving the elements”, the evening ended on a lighter note with a lively game of “Priest of the Parish”. Laughter echoed through the camp, especially during the hilarious “dog box” moments, which provided a welcome and light-hearted end to an otherwise challenging day.

The event was a great example of Scouting in action: young people learning by doing, working together, building confidence, and developing the skills needed to face real-world challenges.

Well done to the 2nd Gonubie Sea Scouts for showing courage, teamwork, and true Scouting spirit. ⚜️ 2nd Gonubie Sea Scouts

A beautiful evening of heart and handiwork from the Cape Border Cub Packs.

Making gifts for a retirement home and something special for Mom this Mother's Day – that’s the true Cub spirit in action.

Lovely to see kindness and creativity shining right here in the Eastern Cape. Well done, Cubs! 🐾

⚓️ SUN, SAILING, & RIVERWATER! ⛵ ️

This Saturday, at Redhouse Yacht Club was pure magic! Our NMB South District Sea Scouters traded their land-legs for sea-legs and brushed up on their sailing skills. The day was full of laughter, learning, and maybe a few strategic splashes. 💦

A HUGE shoutout to all at Redhouse Yacht Club and to the amazing junior youth sailors who steered our Scouters to success! We are so grateful for this partnership and all the behind the scenes efforts to make this happen. We're looking forward to many more amazing opportunities to get scouts on the water! 🌊

From Den Scouters to Pack Scouters, Troop Scouters, Rovers, and all our incredible volunteers—this meeting was a testament to our shared passion. Together, we collaborated, planned, and set a clear and exciting vision for 2026. The future of Scouting here is bright! Thank you to everyone who attended ⚜️
