On Sunday morning, Sam, Emily, and I were at the hall bright and early to pack. We arrived at Keurboom Park at about 8:45 and started unloading the equipment. There were lots of dogs. Soon Michaela arrived to help. We started the construction by tying 2 very tight sheer lashings. Throughout the day various other …

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 …

For my major project, I decided to run a banquet for 30 guests with five courses. The theme was Alice in Wonderland, and guests were asked to come wearing their most magical Wonderland look.
