An active outdoor Scout group in Claremont, Cape Town, South Africa. We are open to boys and girls age 5 to 17, and to adults as volunteer leaders.

Our Meerkats had a wonderful National Denboree thi Our Meerkats had a wonderful National Denboree this past weekend and we had a DINOSAUR filled weekend! We made Dino Burgers , Stegosaurus Wraps, dino horn trumpets, lanterns for the night walk, and we went on a dinosaur egg hunt, played pin the tail on the dino, learnt about different dinosaurs as well as different star constellations.  Camping at Appleton Scout Campsite is always a treat and the Meerkats enjoyed the campfire….. even if there were dinosaurs lurking in the shadows…. #1stclaremontmeerkats
