Today, Golden Grove Cubs took part in City Scramble 2024. This is based on the City Scramble idea that happened back in May 2019.
For a lot of leaders within South Australia, the event in 2019 was bittersweet, due to the main person behind the event was in hospital and passed away that night. He had been a main stay in the Cub section within South Australia and many people went into that event knowing the outcome was not looking good.
However, while today’s activity based on the 2019 activity concept, as with any activity, there were some differences and some similarities.
Golden Grove Cubs had 10 Cubs, 1 Venturer, 1 leader and several parents attend the event.
On the weather front, the forecast was for showers in the morning. However, they did not eventuate. As a result, the day was quite nice. It was cool, but it was certainly better than being hot and having to deal with heat related issues with the Cubs.
It was a great day, as Golden Grove Started at the War Memorial and worked our way round the checkpoints in a anti clockwise manner. It was enjoyable and I think the Cubs enjoyed the day and different points as we went. We certainly saw a fair bit of the city. This included the chopper landing at the SANFL final to deliver the Premiership Cup before the SANFL Grand Final.
Golden Grove Scout Group had 10 Cubs, 1 Venturer, 1 leader as well as several adults attend the day. Overall, we think the day went well and am sure that next time a similar event is run, then Golden Grove Cubs will take part again in the event.
