28/03 - 02/04  Easter Annual Camp

This year's Easter Annual camp was held again at the Rinella Scout Centre from 28th March till 2nd April. It was jam-packed with activities, badge work and games.  

For the pack, camping started on Monday afternoon when at around 1600hrs Cubs arrived at the campsite full of energy. However, Gold Arrowers were present in the morning and helped their leaders to pitch tents as part of their training. As soon as the whole group was present, the GSL officially opened the camp and flag break took place together with orders and rules for the camp. Afterwards, Cubs were split into groups and they were sorted in camps accordingly.

The program was split into 3 sub-camps. We had Apukwa, Pukeena and Shaw-Shaw sub camps. Every sub-camp had a different program to adhere by and different badges were gained through out the week. Badges covered were: Naturalist, Entertainer, Camper, Map Reader and Craftsman. Different crafts were also made. These were: Scene in a box, Sand Jars, Campsite Design and Napkin Holders. We also tie-dyed shirts with different colours for every sub-camp. Lectures tackled during the week were: Knotting, Country & Highway Code, Tracking Signs, Campsite Safety, Open Fire Cooking, Compass, Pitching & Striking Tents and Map Orientation.

On Friday Campfire was held for parents and friends. We spent two hours of singing, dancing and joking. It was great fun. On the whole it was a very nice and pleasant camp and we achieved a great deal of stuff!!. Well Done to ALL!
