For Emily’s friendship activity on the 30th of May we went to the aquarium with a patrol from 3rd Pinelands. We walked through the aquarium and looked at all the animals like the sharks and fish. We bought a bit of a snack from the (overly expensive) store inside by the scuba diving area. It …

Emily’s Springbok hike
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 …

Avila’s First Class Hike
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 …

Oliver’s Discoverer Hike
My Discover Hike was lots of fun. Everyone arrived at the Scout Hall at 8:00, and my dad gave us a lift to Silvermine Gate 2. From there, we set off towards Muizenberg Peak. The weather was great throughout the hike, apart from the strong wind at the peak. The hike was enjoyable, and there …

Julia’s First Class Community Service
For my community service, we spent the weekend of the 6th and 7th of December making soup to donate to the Haven Night Shelter in Wynberg. Both days were spent chopping what felt like millions of butternuts and onions, with the occasional potato or carrot thrown in. There were many tears shed (thanks to the …
