Lower Burdekin Scouts Enjoy "A Night at the Museum" Camp Adventure

The Lower Burdekin Scout Group recently joined fellow Scouts from Townsville and Charters Towers for an exciting weekend camp at Bluewater. The event brought together approximately 190 Scouts aged 5 to 25 years, along with 30 leaders and 30 adult helpers.

The camp's theme, "A Night at the Museum," inspired a variety of themed challenges such as History of Flight, The Art of Archery, The Rise of Civilisation, and The Wonders of Egypt.

Activities over the weekend included:
- Archery
- Fire lighting and campfires
- Navigation
- Kite and aeroplane making
- Flagpole construction
- Bark painting
- Obstacle course

Nighttime events featured a formal dinner followed by a screening of the movie "A Night at the Museum."

After a weekend filled with fun and activities, many participants returned home tired but happy, having enjoyed a memorable Scout camp experience!
