Welcome to the Goshawks Bush!
This term has been rather uneventful in terms of patrol activities. While we haven’t run any activities this term we sure have been having loads of fun at meetings!
This term has been all about settling in and getting used to our new patrol! With Ethan having stepped down last term and myself (Avila) having filled the place as a new patrol leader we thought that would be the end to the chaos and reshuffle in our patrol… Little did we know that we would sadly be having to say goodbye to our beloved APL Tristan, as he embarks on a different and new journey outside of scouts.
The patrol is anxiously awaiting the announcement of who their new APL will be… While many speculations have been made by the patrol members, they will just have to wait and see!
A few of our scouts have been on the grind passing of their advancement and coming excitingly close to earning their traveller badges!
Next term we are looking forward to a conserve and a hike along with many troop activities!

Kon-Tiki Prebuild
Our recent Kontiki pre-build event turned out to be a successful and rewarding experience. While attendance was a bit low on the first day, we saw a much better turnout on the second day, which helped us gain motivation. Once the team was fully assembled, we quickly made up for lost time.
The atmosphere was chaotic yet focused, with everyone working together to get the job done.
We tackled any challenges that came up and kept the momentum going, always keeping the goal of completing the raft on time in mind.
By the end of the event, we had successfully finished building the raft, which was a great accomplishment. The event really highlighted the importance of having attendance at scouts events.
It was super cool that we managed to get the raft up and taken down!
