Victor Camp with Mt Lofty - Day Two

 T

oday was the usual early camp start. The Cubs were excited getting their bikes ready for the bike ride to Port Elliott. The leaders from Mt Lofty were great at checking the bikes were all up to standard before setting off on the trip to Port Elliott. The Cubs rode their bikes, were on scooters or walked (3 in the later). Upon arrival at Pt Elliott, time spent exploring, having lunch and enjoying the beach.

 

After several hours at the beach, it was time to make the trek back to Victor Harbor Scout Hall. Many took the same travel options to get back as they did for the trip to Pt Elliott.

 

Once back at Victor, it was time to relax prior to  tea and a movie before bed. It didn’t take the Cubs as long to get to sleep this evening as it did last evening

Victor Camp - Friday Night

Scouting Person and I (along with Chil and several Cubs) headed to Victor Harbour for a combined Cub Camp at the Victor Scout Hall. It was a joint camp between Golden Grove and Mt Lofty – Tuesday Night Unit.  It was beautiful night for a night walk after we had set up the campsite.

 

It’s been a couple of years since we were here last, with Mawson Lakes Cubs. But this weekend is going to be just as good and we are sure the Cubs will have a great weekend while they are here.

 

Photo Opportunity with Mo, Adelaide

Today, we were out and about in the city prior to a T20 Big Bash Cricket Game. While we were heading down towards Adelaide Oval, we decided that we would stop off and get in one geo-cache and a photo opportunity of a statue in Hindley Street. It was worth it for the photo.

Golden Grove Scout Group Camp _ Sunday

Today saw a slower start to the day. However, we were still able to get activities in around packing and cleaning the building. The best part of the day was lunch and the pyramid of sausages that were made for the BBQ Lunch.

Golden Grove Group Camp - Saturday

It certainly was an early start, as the youth were up and ready, eager to start doing activities. There were plenty of outdoor activities, knot tying, Challenge Hill, Ice Blocking to name a few.

That evening, Dinner was a dress up, Christmas theme, followed by both a disco and campfire for those who wanted something a little quieter

Golden Grove Group Camp Friday Night

This evening, Scouting person (Raksha) and I headed to Woodhouse, staying in the Bunkhouse. We hitched a lift with Otter, another scouting human. We are attending the Golden Grove Scout Group Camp – Cubs through to Venturers.

We got the venue set up and claimed bunks before everyone else arrived. The theme for the weekend was ‘Christmas” and there was a competition within the group (for the youth members) to design the group a badge for the weekend’s camp.

Soon the youth members and other leaders the group turned up and got themselves sorted. The Scouts were camping in tents and they were soon up in record time. The Venturers decided they were going to go for bunks instead of setting up tents. The Joeys and Cubs also had bunks.

As was to be expected, it was not a early night with youth members excited and talking late into the night

Caching History - Adelaide History Tour caching in fact

Scouting person and I decided that while passing through today (Train to Semaphore for a artist / history walk for SA Living Artist Month) to try this cache. 

Sure enough, the opportunity arose to attempt this cache

Thankfully, there was time between trains and being a Sunday (early-ish) that foot traffic was not going to create many issues to get the needed photo.
