This three-day two-night hike was a great achievement for our Scouts. In preparation for it, each of the Scouts was asked to plan a potential route around French Island, and the Leaders chose the final routes from these submissions. This exercise helped the Scouts understand what needs to be considered when planning a hike, such as distance, terrain, and final camping spots. The Scouts were split into three groups, two Explorer (Level 2) groups, and one Adventurer (Level 3) group. The Scouts carried all their equipment, clothes and food in their packs - luckily that means the packs should get a bit lighter towards the end!
