Meerkats go hiking in Newlands Forest

Scouts love to go hiking so it is fitting that there is a Hiking Challenge badge for Meerkats in the Scoutcraft theme. On 19 February, our nearly full Den of Meerkats gathered at the base of Newlands forest with their leaders, parents, siblings and a dog and went hiking, 4km up, along and down. We …
