Sea Scouts join Narara

The First Woy Woy Sea Scouts cub group joined the First Narara cub pack for a special weekend late last month.

Group publicity officer Ms Julie Crowhurst said the weekend started with the cub packs weekly meeting that saw several members awarded with a badge.

"Joee Crowhurst and Alex Schofield both received their bronze boomerang badge which is the first part of their journey through the Cub Scout Award Scheme," Ms Crowhurst said.

"To achieve the bronze boomerang award they needed to complete 10 out of 14 set tasks.

"James Johnson received his one year service badge for being invested in the cub section for a full year.

"While the following cub's received their swimmer level one badge: Alex Schofield, Adam Gowrie, Jack Gowrie, Luke Board, Daniel Stables, Ben Nairn, James Johnson, Holly Gaunt, Brandon Holland, Liam Fletcher, Finn O'Brien, and Zane Fernandez.

"To obtain their swimmer level one badge the cub's had to explain the buddy system and basic rules for safe swimming, jump feet first into water over their head, swim 25 metres, turn and swim back, swim on their backs for 25 metres, tread water for one minute and float on their back for one minute.

"We also held a going up ceremony for Holly Gaunt from passing from joeys to cubs.

"Also Brandon Holland, Liam Fletcher, Zane Fernandez and Finn O'Brien were invested into the First Woy Woy Sea Scouts cub pack."

Ms Crowhurst said the Woy Woy cubs joined Narara cub pack the following day to begin a fun-filled weekend at the Summer Inter Pack Cub Camp.

"Because it was the Summer Inter pack Cub Camp, the main theme for the camp was to do with water," Ms Crowhurst said.

"The cub's did canoeing, had sock wrestling, played with water pistols, had free time to swim and play in the water, and many other activities."
