Cub Scouts – 2 Night Camp at a Sheep Station in Metcalfe

March 22nd 2019 Cubs Scouts headed off to a Sheep Station in Metcalfe for 2 nights under canvas for Term 1 2019 Camp. Originally scheduled earlier in the term, we had to delay due to Bushfire Danger and high temperatures. The Camp got underway Friday afternoon with cubs meeting at the hall and heading off in convoy.
