James Craig Tall Ships

A big group of Cubs and Scouts spent a night aboard the James Craig Tall Ship.  Some of the things we did were sleep in hammocks under the deck, swab the deck, hoist a sail, learn about navigation, pulleys and knots.  We saw the captain’s cabin and saloon too.

 

Canoe Course Expedition

Eight scouts and two leader joined several other groups to complete the Level 2 Canoeing Course at Brisbane Waters over the weekend.  With barrels packed with camping gear and food we set off to explore the area in a smoky haze from the bushfires further west.  With a ditch and recovery exercise in deep water done by all during the lunch stop on Day 2, we all received our Anchor badges.
