Camp Sites

Hi


If you are looking  for a campsite why not consider one that WE OWN.  They are amazing and cheap!!!!.  You can have so much fun at any of the following sites.If you want to see just click on the link to see all.

If you have not seen or been to Hawequas then you really should have your next camp (or family holiday) there.  There is so much to do that your options will drive you crazy.


How about taking the Cubs up to the Scout Mt Hut!!! what you say, YES the little darlings would love to scramble on top of Table Mountain.  What better time and place to do Nature and trails and knots and and and.......


If you think that that is too much for you on your First time then Appleton's the place for you.  Sorry to disappoint you Cubs but now there is even a shower, so no excuses.


Gilray's ban on Camping has been lifted -  so off you go.  There is paint ball(on the premises), and the vlei, and education center are all just around the corner.

If you have any  other camp sites you think were absolutely wonderful send me the information and I will post it.


REMEMBER to do your PERMIT or no camp. 


Happy camping

Admin

I will be running an Admin Course for all Pack Scouters later in the year.  This is to help you understand the need for admin as well how to do it with the minimum effort.


I ran it last year just after the Warrant and the comments that came back were very positive.  The only thing was that it should be run a couple of months after the Warrant so that people had the time to absorb things from the Warrant. 


This course is also for those not in uniform but will be doing the Pack Admin.  It gives them a greater understand of everything.


Some of the Comments were: -  
"Very Informative",   "Was more than I expected", "good course", "Open dialogue - all questions were answered" and others to make the course better were "have Tutors", "have a set of currant books so that there will be a better understanding of them", "More on time management, ".

Edward Shield

Hi all


Congratulations must go to the winners.  2nd Somerset West.  Well done, Carol I  know that you work so hard to get the Shield back.  


I would like to take the time to Thank Donald for all his hard work, Edward Shield  was run so smoothly and everything worked  out perfectly also thanks to the Judges for their hard work hope you had fun.  Also having the competition at Hawequas was amazing and the look on all the Cubs faces was to die for, they had so much fun and the space was perfect for this competition.  


Thanks to Andre Foot and his team for allowing us to hold the competition there and for helping to arrange the Parking.  The report back from them is that the cottage and camping has increased since then. 


Thanks must also go to Elizabeth Britz and the 1st Bothasig Rovers for their help. My son and daughter for all the running around which they did.


Thanks to all the Packs and the parents for coming and supporting us at this event.
