An early start again today, but it was later than yesterday! Today, most of the youth members were not heard before 6am – and yes, this is later than yesterday…where voices were heard from 5am!
Breakfast today was pancakes and they certainly went down well with the youth members. We must admit, Scouting Person is partial to them and loves them with maple syrup. Again, they had the option to follow it up with cereal and juice.
For those who had eaten and were waiting for others to finish, they were busy packing their personal gear. This meant putting their sleeping bags way and their clothes in their bags.
It was not long before we were heading to our morning (last) activity base, which was Journey To The Edge. This base was full of outdoor skill type activities. The cubs had a go at some orienteering, using a compass as well as having a go at the Scouts SA mobile Rock Climbing Wall.
As with the previous two activity bases, the time we spent on this base was around 4 hours.
Once we finished with our final activity, we headed back to our campsites, to have lunch and continue packing up. Many were doing the final packing of their personal gear, before we headed to the closing ceremony. MC was Bin Chicken, and scouting person is convinced there is a story to him having that name! It is on the list to find out how it came about. Maybe in the new year.
Once the closing was over, we headed back to the campsite, and finished the packing up, which included sweeping out the tents, packing them down and ensuring everyone’s gear was in their bags, for when their parents arrived to collect them.
There were a lot of tired youth members leaving the site and we are sure that many will be having a very early night.
We are sure we’ll have more cubs wishing to attend the next cuboree in 3 years time.
