Jamboree of the Air/Internet Camp – 19-21 October 2012
At JOTA/JOTI we usedĀ radios and the internet to talk to scouts all over Australia and around the world.
We gotĀ to use soldering irons, wires and circuitboards to make bike lights. At night we all got together to watch movies.
We also went for a bush walk and went canoeing on the lake. This was a great camp and a good way of getting your communications badge.

SCUBA … in mid-Winter! Frog Dive Willoughby, 27 June
Climbing at the Northern Beaches Rock House
A night spent climbing and caving at the Rock House.
One of the Cubs favourite events!
Belaying is serious business. 
Cubs being attentive to instruction – yes, it does happen.
Sirius Cup 2012
Video clip of the first outright win for Fairlight/Manly (ever, we believe) at the 2012 Sirius Cup! Well done to the U11 Team!
Also congratulations to the U11 and U9 C2 Cubs for qualifying for the finals, the Pack has never had 3 entries in the finals before!
Family Camp Epilogue
The weather held perfectly for us and we achieved all objectives for Grey Wolves and also Kevin for his Scout camping skills.Ā 28 tents in all, so a fantastic turn out!
8 Grey Wolf Cubs attended the camp.
Each had prepared a route and packed a rucksack. Each one had to talk through their plan and discuss equipment, safety considerations, time-management etc.
One parent went with each group, otherwise consisting of the Grey Wolf patrol leader plus 2 x other Cubs in each patrol.
All parents were under instruction to do nothing unless in case of emergency – just observe and report back.
All groups made it back between 1hr 40mins and 2hrs 20mins.
At least half the groups missed their trails and had to figure out where they were (a valuable lesson that map reading ain’t as simple as they thought!).
By all accounts, the Grey Wolves all showed good patrol leadership, (“this way / let’s stop for a drink / we’re on time / time to head back / I think we’re lost, let’s check the map” etc) and are now well on their way to achieving their Grey Wolf Award!
