LDC1 & LDC2 were held at 5th this past weekend, and by all accounts, the courses were a great success.

A big thank you to the Course Director, Fossa, and his team for their time, effort, and dedication in making the weekend possible. Photo credits go to Kiewiet for capturing the experience so well.

We’ve uploaded as many photos as possible so that all participating Scouts can look back and see what a fantastic job they did. It was a valuable training opportunity and certainly one worth adding to their Scouting journey.

As outlined on the Scouts SA website, LDC1 and LDC2 (Leadership Development Courses) are progressive training programmes designed to help young Scouts develop leadership skills, understand the patrol system, and build practical Scouting knowledge. LDC1 introduces the fundamentals of leadership, while LDC2 builds on these skills for those preparing to take on roles such as Patrol Leader.

5th’s Cub Scouts and Scouters joined forces with 10th Arcadia and 17th Villieria this past weekend for an *Asterix in South Africa* - themed Cub Camp.

With a strong turnout of +/- 50 Cub Scouts and Scouters, the camp made the most of the great weather , creating the perfect setting for a packed programme of activities. From practical scoutcraft to teamwork-based challenges, the Cubs worked through a variety of skills while also completing key badge requirements.

The collaboration between groups added real value to the experience, giving the Cubs the opportunity to interact, learn from one another, and build confidence in a broader scouting environment. A solid weekend all around, with good energy, good participation, and meaningful progress made.
