Peak Award Hike - Para Wirra Conservation Park

Today, 5 Cubs, 1 Joey, 1 leader and several parents went on a hike.

While hikes are a regular part of the program and happen often, this one had an extra purpose. One of the Cubs was to lead a hike for his Peak Award (Gray Wolf Award), which is the highest award that can be earned within the Cub Section within Scouts Australia. It was also the last part of the requirements he had to do for the Peak Award.

 The Cub in question had to lead a 4-hour hike for a group of up to 6 youth members (including themselves) on a hike for a period of 4 hours. This also included breaks (including lunch).  It was along the Mack Creek Trail, which is in the Para Wirra Conservation Park.

 

The weather, while cool and overcast, did not produce any rain. It also meant those who went did not get hot and powered along on the hike.

 

All who attended did very well, hiking a total of 8km. 

 

Adeaide Foothills District Joey and Cub Target Sports Day

Today, Golden Grove Cubs and Joeys joined around 100 other Joeys and Cubs (120 in total including Golden Grove) from Adelaide Foothills District for Archery at Woodhouse Campsite.

 

While the archery was only a couple of hours, we spent the day at Woodhouse doing a variety of activities besides the Archery.

 

Golden Grove Cubs and Joeys had fun doing Challenge Hill, as well as the Tube Slide. Several did the Labyrinth after their parents picked them up.

It was a awesome day, and we are sure a number were asleep early on Saturday night.
