Lower Burdekin Cub Scouts Set Sail at Regional Cub Sailing Day

Two enthusiastic Lower Burdekin Cub Scouts took part in the Regional Cub Sailing Day at the Townsville Sailing Club on Saturday, 10 August. Being the first to arrive, they kicked off their adventure with an up-close look at the yachts.

A total of 17 Cubs enjoyed a morning packed with activities, including sailing instruction, games on the foreshore, and a thrilling ride in the rescue boat. The weather couldn't have been better, with sunshine and a gentle breeze making for a perfect day on the water.

After sharing their experience with the rest of their Scout group, the Cubs will be able to earn a boating badge, marking their accomplishment in this exciting water activity.

A big thank you to Dianne and the team at the Townsville Sailing Centre for providing a fantastic day out for the Cubs!
