Although there were only a few Claremont Scouts, the day was dominated by many eager Rosebank Scouts, all ready to take on the challenges of the rock face.

With Kon-tiki coming up, our Meerkats got busy with their Raft Builder badge. They first checked what could float and what didn’t. What happened when egg boxes became saturated, or poly trays got holes? The answer wasn’t aways obvious. Checking what they would do if they couldn’t float (for long) was next and everyone got …
