Ready Set Scout Week Three

Ready Set Scout Week Three 

 

 This is the Week Three of Ready Set Scout challenges that are being sent home via email to all members. We hope those who are doing them are enjoying the activities on offer

River Torrens Linnar Hike Athelstone to Paradise

This evening, I joined Scouting person and the Cub Unit on a walk along The River Torrens Linnar Park We started an Athelstone and waked 4 ½ km to Paradise.

While on a Cub Night (that in itself is not unusual), it was a extra walk for the term. In part, due to the Covid situation. Even though the situation didn’t see Scouting going back to doing on line meetings (as was the case when the Covid Pandemic started 2 years ago). The current situation saw a directive that Scouting in South Australia could hold meetings in an outdoor setting, just not in the Scout Hall. At least for the first 2 weeks of the school term. The School Year in Australia pretty much follows the calendar year.

 

Hence, the Cub Unit went for a walk. This allowed the meeting to happen, the Cubs to get some KM for their Km hike badges, as well as burning some energy. The 2022 saw a staggered start to face to face schooling, with only certain year levels at school. Everyone else was doing Learning at Home. Which meant there was a need for the youth to get out and about and active. Hence tonight’s walk.

 

Overall, it was a great night activity, weather was good – not to hot, not to cold. Everyone seemed to have a great time.

Ready Set Scout. Week One

 

Schools in South Australia are having a staggered return to school for the 2022 year. As a result, Scouting in South Australia has set some boundaries around how we run our meetings (outside instead f indoors for example).

Scouts SA has also sent some activities that they have sent home via email to all registered members. This is the 1st of the emails that are coming out for Scouts SA members to try and submit their attempts to Scouts SA HQ

Group Break Up at Semaphore Foreshore

 Golden Grove Scout Group had their all section break up at Semaphore Foreshore. Joeys through to Venturers.

A BBQ was put on and some Cubs caught crabs with their hands (no nets).

We had a visit from Father Christmas and was a great night relaxing at the beach, watching the lightening ap

proach across the gulf (and we had finished before it hit fully)

Cub Nght Hike at Cobbler Creek Recreation Park

 This evening, the Cub Unit went on a hike at Cobbler Creek. It was a great night and the Cubs walked 4km towards their Km badges.

 

 

Morialta Hike

Today, Golden Grove Cubs joined with Flinders Park Cubs to do a hike at Morialta Conservation Park.

 

We had a great hike. There was some rain, a lot of sun and some wind. The rain did not last long and certainly wasn’t a cold rain.

 

Overall, the Cubs did well with the steep trails and enjoyed the views from the higher points. It certainly added to their Km totals.

 

A very enjoyable day out (probably as I was in the bag, being carried, vs having to actually walk the hills).
