It was pointed out to me that my Springbok Camp was less of a Springbok activity and more of a regional event. And with Scouts from 8 troops across the Western Cape, I can’t disagree. I was lucky enough to have scouts from 1st Hermanus, 1st and 2nd Somerset West, 1st and 4th Claremont, 1st …

I was absolutely blown away by the creativity of the outfits (shoutout to Josie Blaine for winning Best Dressed!), and the …

Emily’s hike to put it simply, it was an experience to say the least. Small disclaimer Emily is not very smart to put it kindly for doing springbok (I got permission to say this) So the first day was an expedition as the path wasn’t there but instead there was a RIVER directly in the …

On the 16-17th of May, myself, Oliver V, Oliver R, and Saskia embarked on an adventure through the mountain ranges surrounding Montagu. The hike was a physically challenging route. The route on day 1 was clearly marked which made following the path very easy, while the route on day 2 was very flooded and difficult …
