2010 District Hike - 30 April to 2 May
posted 13 Apr 2010, 00:12 by 1st Heatherdale Admin
Cost: $10 Start: Friday, 6.30pm meet at 1st Nunawading Hall Transport:
Parents will be needed
for this on both
Friday and Sunday. Please advise as to your availability. (If you have
a Working With Children’s Check and would like to join us please let Boags know.) Accommodation:
All scouts will need
to work in patrols to share tentage (unless you have your own single
person tent). It is best to share carrying a small, lightweight tent
with others. Tents should ideally be no bigger than 3 person Walking: We will be walking along old tramways and timber milling tracks in the Powelltown area of the Yarra Valley. There will be different hikes for Pioneer and Explorer level scouts on Saturday. The 2 groups will meet and camp together so as to be ready to walk together on Sunday. Return: Final arrangements for the completion of the hike are yet to be made. Details to come next term. Please read the equipment list carefully. This is a lightweight hike, so pack appropriately. All Scouts will be carrying their pack, so lightweight is important. Speak to your leaders about how they may be able to help out. Make sure you have suitable, sturdy footwear and a light waterproof raincoat. EQUIPMENT LIST
Food: You will need to have eaten (or bring it with you) dinner before coming on Friday night. >> 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches and 1 dinner. ## All food is to be appropriate for hiking and not required to be kept cold. Snack / scroggin | ![]() |

We will meet at Mitcham Railway Station at 7:10am for a 7:19am departure. The program should be completed by about 1pm. We will then return to Mitcham on the train by about 2pm. Cost: $0 per person (public transport is free for those in full uniform) What to bring: Full uniform, a water bottle, some lunch and Health Form. NB: There is a very strict uniform code for those participating in the march. You must wear your scout shirt and scarf plus beige or blue pants (no jeans, shorts or track pants) and you must wear brown or black shoes (no runners). Scouts not correctly attired will not be permitted to take part in this activity. | ![]() |
