HopAHowl : Sunday- Final Day

This morning, two of the patrols had off site activities. Essentially, it was a hike and Scouting Adult has decided that it will be a great place to do a pack hike at some point in the future.

The offsite activity basically filled the morning and upon return to the campsite, it was time to start dealing with lunch. After a closing and packing up, it was time to leave. Another state camp for Cubs done, until the next one in three years time (2022)

HopaHowl Saturday Day Two

 

Today was the usual early start and many excited youth members eager to get into the day’s activities.  

 

Each Unit was split into patrols of 6 youth members, and had a adult with them. Each patrol had selected their activities. As a result, each patrol followed a different activity rotation through the day. The only thing that was the same for everyone was meal times and the time to be back at the unit’s campsite for bed time etc.

It made for a busy day, but the youth members seemed to enjoy it and allowed those who were there with their siblings to experience different activities while enjoying the same camp.

 

Due to the early start, and high activity level for the day, many were in bed and asleep early this evening.

HopaHowl, Night One

After months of preparation, saw Scouting person and I head to Woodhouse (again). This time, it is for State Camp – for Cubs and Joeys.

 

Golden Grove Cubs were in a camp pack with Cubs and Joeys from Lones Scout Group, Alice Springs Scout Group and Penola Scout Group. Quite a diverse bunch really.

 

 

Today, scouting person and I went up early to start setting the campsite before the Cubs arrived. It was a long day, and when everyone arrived, it was utter chaos, we nailed it though!

 

We even had a Cub who was apart of the opening as well, which was ultra-exciting

 

Eventually we were able to get to bed and have some sleep before the activities started in ernest
