NavFest: Parks and Playgrounds

This afternoon, Joeys, Cubs, one Scout and several leaders took part in NavFest: Parks and Playgrounds. It was based from Athelstone Primary School (start and finish point), and surrounding area/ suburbs.  

 

Similar to NavFest:Beach, Golden Grove Cubs entered teams. This time, we had enough for 3 teams and they were composite of Joeys, Cubs ad one scout. At NavFest:Beach, we’ve had 2 teams in 2023 and 1 team in 2024.

 

The teams over all did well, with 2 teams scoring 400 points and 1 team scoring 450 points. All three teams were placed around the middle of the teams taking part in the event this afternoon.

 

Overall, the youth walked a total of 8km for the event, getting their checkpoints. The youth certainly gained a few km towards their hike (km) badge totals.

 

I enjoyed the event (but I also was being carried in a bag!). I am looking forward to doing NavFest:Beach in 2025 and hope we are able to have several teams entered in that event as well. I am sure the Cubs will enjoy it and seeing if they can beat their scores.

 

Thanks must go to Scouts SA: Bushwalking Team for organizing the event
