Brief Summary:
Is your patrol ready for the Hills District Scout Camp? Over the weekend, you and your patrol will embark on a series of challenges including a race around town, a historical river puzzle walk and adventurous activities on the water. You will also have a chance to unwind and catch up with your friends across the district in the afternoons with wide games, movies and more. This will be a patrol camp where each individual team will have to: - Cater - Camp - Cook and Clean for themselves. This means that each patrol will have to ensure that they bring enough food for their patrol from Friday supper to Sunday Lunch including for an additional leader guest on Saturday. We recommend to budget an additional $50 per person for food on top of the $35 camping fees.
