The 2nd Gonubie Scouts Group travelled to Gqeberha through to George from September 31 to October 8 as part of a tour to meet new Scout groups, introduce recruits to other members and share ideas.
The Scouts were tested on an array of skills such as map work, first aid, abseiling drills, rowing and capsize procedures, as well as cooking.
First up, the Gonubie Scouts met up with the 1st Walmer Scout Group from Gqeberha for a leadership course.
They were then taught first aid, knot work and Morse code with the Plettenberg Bay Scouts, and met with the Knysna Scouts to learn axe safety.
They then completed a hedge maze activity with the Sedgefield Scouts at Redberry Farm, and camped with the 1st George Scouts.
Jarryd Main, 2nd Gonubie Scouts official, said: “It was one of the biggest events the Eastern Cape, East London district, Gonubie has ever accomplished and was planned entirely by the Scouts of 2nd Gonubie scout troop.
“We learnt valuable skills that will stick with us throughout our lives. This experience built many strong relationships within all the troops we managed to visit.
“This was a tour that none of the 11 scouts and two adults that attended could possibly ever forget.”
