7 very hardy 1st Caringbah Scouts (Kara, Darcie and Bridget, Chris B, Nathan L, Jess and Jake J) headed down to Appin to enjoy an incredible week of horse riding, blacksmithing, pioneering, woggle making, hot air balloon making, first aid training, axemanship and competition camping. And yet again, we enjoyed another win with Kara and Darcie’s patrol took out the competition taking home some very fine Swiss penknives – well done ladies – GIRL POWER!
