The Grampians National Park is a destination for explorers, adventurers and people who enjoy discovering the outdoors. So when our Scouts were offered the opportunity to discover the area they were pumped for adventure, and ready to go.
So what do you get when you mix:-
A group of Djerriwarrh District Scouts
Grampians National Park & Grampians Peaks Trail
Halls Gap Caravan Park
Glass Blowing
Grampians Mountain Adventure Company
Brambuk - The National Park & Cultural Centre
When challenged to use teamwork, initiative and communication skills the Scouts excelled. After a series of discussions the Scouts were prepared and ready to go. Then after a number of trails the Scouts began to fine tune their skills and gain a greater understanding and insight into exactly what they had been challenged to achieve. Through a united effort the Scouts managed to successfully manoeuvre the contents of one bucket into another without using their hands - leading to further developing their unique leadership skills.
A Scout is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Brave, Clean & Reverent ......... unless it comes to teaching other Scouts table manners, and then it is every Scout for themselves where they must become Thrifty. With fits of laughter and enjoyment the Scouts united together to carry frozen veggies with straws, feed each other jelly while blindfolded and search for pegs in a tub of gooey oatmeal to help define & further develop their thriftiness and it was amazing to see how they achieved by applying thrifty initiative skills.
