A good walk up Roseberry Topping, then to Captain Cooks memorial. We took our time to practice some different navigation techniques, so not many pictures. Thank you to @jaynegibson45 and @sharonvaseyblu1 for supporting us and all the parents for transport.
The Scouts were learning what a well balanced diet looks like then finding out about the dangers of alcohol and cigarettes as part of the Skills badge.
