Saturday at Camp, Victor Harbor

Today, was a very good day. Weather was perfect and the Cubs were very well behaved overall.

It was an early start, as was to be expected on the first day of camp. After having breakfast and heading to the playground, where our first activity was a boot camp style activity. It was certainly once way to get moving and certainly ensured the cubs got moving. While Bagheera and Baloo were running this activity, Akela managed to get a few shots of the beach and Wilbur in before we needed to head to the next activity.

 We had morning tea before heading over to Granite Island for our booked in Penguin Feeding session t the Penguin Centre on Granite Island. This was a most interesting aspect of camp as it allowed the cubs to hear how numbers of penguins on Granite Island have dropped from 2000 in the year 2000 to 126 last year. The number of New Zealand seals has increased over this period and it is certainly food for thought that there may be a link. I think the Cubs were very good and to be commended.

 After lunch, we headed to the National Trust museum and had a look around there as well. Here, we split into two groups and half started one way and the other half started the other and crossed over in the middle.

Then it was back to the hall and time to have some free time before we headed to the beach for a swim prior to tea. It also allowed the cubs to sort out their tents, as they were rather shocking.

 Tea was followed by a walk before going to bed and pretty much all the cubs were ready to crash early after much walking and not so much sleep the previous day.
