Camp Quality BBQ and Convoy

Mary James from First Appin sent this in...
Thanks to you and all the helpers you bought along on the day, its greatly appreciated.
We are going to suggest to Camp Quality / i98 that bbq site 3 be moved to an area near the coach entry gate at Cataract Scout Park. Then our helpers can watch the trucks leave. It was crazy at site 1!
The tally for funds raised on Monday was $269,000.00 up by $87,000.00 last year, there were 592 trucks and 380 bikes taking part. The limit on trucks is said to be 600.

We have sent a cheque to Camp Q for $1800.00 up by $800.00 last year! we are very pleased with this outcome.

There are a few photos here (log in before you can see them though!).

My Grey Wolf Hike

On Sunday 16 November, I organised and led my grey wolf hike at mount Annan Botanical gardens, Courtney, Britney, Caralina, & Lachlan joined me along with Akela, Moani, Kanga, Alex and my mum.
We started off at the carpark and followed the mount annan map around the lake where we took a compass bearing and followed on to the top of the mountain, moani just made it up the mountain she was looking very tired and about to pass out. We did some more compass work, before heading back down the mountain.

Here are some photos, (make sure you log in first!).

The flies were very annoying and we were all very tired by the end. Akela got me to do some trail signs for my gold boomerang and the other cubs followed them it was alot of fun, we were then rewarded with Mcdonalds before we all went home for a well deserved rest.

I would like to thank Kanga & Moani for all of there help and also Alex who tested me throughout the walk. Also a special thankyou to Akela for all her help in testing me for my badge work and making cubs fun.

And most of all to my mummy who i love very much and would not of been able to do this without her.
