Scouting is about youth development, education, growth, acquiring new skills, goal setting and achieving those goals.
Throughout the journey it is always good to take a moment to test and implement the skills learnt, and that is exactly what our Scouts & Venturers did when they visited Lady Northcote Discovery Camp. With a focus on rafting and fun they divided into teams to design, construct and launch rafts.
The task was simple ... build a raft, paddle out to the island and paddle back to the shore ... how hard can that be?
Well ... some teams made it look harder than others resulting in their rafts imploding the moment it hit water!!! However, this only heightened the enthusiasm for fun and while one raft was successful everyone else chased floating gear all over the lake, before their focused turned too ... how many people can we get on the one raft and how many people can we get in our rescue canoe!!! End result an awesome night of fun, laughter and friendship.
