A joint hike from Manikata to Xemxija was organised with the St. Julians Pack. We met at the Manikata Church were we introduced all leaders and all cubs. It was nice to see that some cubs new each other from school but never knew they were united in the same brotherhood of cubs.

We started our walk from Manikata Church. It was a windy day and at the beginning of the hike we were blessed my god by some rain……the usual for the Buga Cubs. After some walking in the country side, we stopped among the trees where we cooked our own lunches on an open fire. This was fun and served as practice for those cubs who are doing the silver and gold arrow. During this hike the Silver Arrow did their “Nature Hike” where we observed the positive and the negative things around us and made a discussion on how we can improve our environment. Before we moved on we had some fun playing games, and the two packs had more time to socialise together. Unfortunately time flies when you are having fun and we had to move on. We continued our walk following a tracking trail which was prepared while we were playing games by Buga Hathi and St Julians Bagheera and with the help of Link Badgers. This trail was done by all but it was mainly for the Bronze Arrowers for their Tracking Signs Session. We split the two packs into 5 small groups and each group moved along the trail.

At around 1500hrs we stopped at Xemxija where the private was waiting for us. It was a very enjoyable activity and we hope we have more with the St Julians Pack.
