Brief Summary:
The 1st Ermington Scout Section organised this Six Foot Track Hike (3 Days, 2 Nights) to support a scout completing his Adventurous Journey for the Australian Scout Award. Please note the activity is planned and led by a youth working for the Peak Award. The Six Foot Track was originally a bridle trail from Katoomba to the Jenolan Caves and is now a walking trail of 44.3 kilometres. Participants travel from Jenolan Caves to Katoomba during the Easter holidays. Previous lightweight camping, bushwalking experience, and good fitness are required. Bushwalking OAS Stage 4 and above is required.
Additional Information

This is a placeholder. More details will be provided once planning is complete.

The Route:

  • Day 1: Jenolan Caves to Black Range Camping Ground
  • Day 2: Black Range Camping Ground to Coxs River Camping Ground
  • Day 3: Coxs River Camping Ground to Katoomba

The event will present Scouts with knowledge and skill development opportunities for OAS Bushwalking stage 4-5 progressions. Develop confidence in Bushwalking activities. 

This activity is not for novice bushwalkers.

Good fitness and bushwalking skills will be a requirement to join the event.

Attendence at the following preparatory sessions are mandatory:

  1. Online planning session on Monday 31/03 @ 8:00pm.
  2. In-person bag check/weighing session on Monday 7/04 @ 7:30pm at the 1st Ermington Scout Hall.

The cost of food and incidentals will be known closer to the event date and will be notified during the Online Theory session.

This hike will be indirectly supervised by Scout Leaders.
