A group of Scouts along with a couple of younger Cubs spent the weekend camping at Deep Pass caving, canyoning and scrambling up the pagodas. After a short hike in, we set up camp, told stories and sang around the campfire at night. Shimmying through caves and then getting wet climbing up through the canyons with a spectacular jump down a waterfall into the chilly water to get the adrenaline going.

Narrabeen Campfire
1st Narrabeen is a new Cub Pack starting out with just a few new Cubs. So the Pack decided to hold a joint meeting to end the term. The joined Packs made up nearly 40 Cubs which made for a fantastic Scout Campfire. They also made damper and cooked on the coals.
Songs, snags, damper and a new Cub invested. An excellent way to end a great term!
Conservation Camp
The Cubs headed up to Ingleside Scout Camp for the weekend to learn a out conservation issues and to work towards their Conservation Special Interest Badge and the level 2 Animals and Birds badge.
A great way to finish that off is a trip to Featherdale Wildlife Santuary!
The Cubs had an excellent time and gained two badges as well!!
Cubs and Scouts on The Block!
The Group held a fund-raising Sausage Sizzle with the help of Mitre 10. Members of “The Block” TV show were the highlight – the Mark, Duncan and Dean team. The Cubs and Scouts worked hard for the night, serving up snags and watching the show.
Sirius Cup 2013
The Cubs had a great time at the 63rd Sirius Cup. Over 20 Cub Packs took part, coming from all over the Sydney Districts. The Cubs did very well in the U10 C4 and C2, and the U9 C2.
They also managed to have a fantastic time !!!

Cubs and Scouts Clean Up Manly
The Cubs and Scouts took part in Clean Up Australia Day by scouring Manly Cove and Dalwood Beach.
Odd things found and removed included:
Large plastic Owl (probably off a boat)
Portable Stereo
Car parts
Three Gucci handbags (knock-offs)
A total of 10 rubbish bags later, the area looked much better. Something cleaner to greet the Monday morning commuters on their way to the ferries.
River crossing at Narrabeen Lakes
The Scouts headed in very suitable weather for river crossing practice ahead of their canyoning trip in April.
Yes, pouring rain and a small gale.
