Never work with children or animals, or so the saying goes, but that is just what our intrepid leaders and support crew did in Dubbo. Our tired youth members, after a record early start leaving Jindabyne, picking up ‘Grey Wolf’ our support vehicle who spent a luxury evening (ffor a 4WD) in Canberra airpot. before beginning the journey home. After a long day on the bus pulled up at 1st Dubbo scouts and checked out the western plains zoo the next day. Ably fed by their tireless kitchen master Chil they tackled the zoo safari style, ticking off most of the ‘big 5’ animals of the animal kingdom…and polished off most of the remaining food. Chll was heard to mutter something about “feeding the animals”….
By night they joined the 1st Dubbo Scouts for their term breakup night (school has just finished in NSW) with some slot car racing and a closing parade to say hello/goodbye to their new found scouting friends in Dubbo. And then it was all too soon and they were back on the road again and back to civilisation.
Snowys 2024 is a wrap! well except for the paper work 😉
Thankyou again to the Dick and Pip Smith Leadership through Adventure fund and Scouts Queensland, our intrepid venturer Samuel and leader in charge Jungle Jim and all the supporting leaders.
