Over the October long weekend, the Lower Burdekin Scouts, along with Scout Leader Rikki, joined 52 other Scouts and 10 Leaders for an action-packed Pre-Jamboree camp held at Heatley Secondary School in Townsville. The camp was designed to prepare them for the upcoming Jamboree, which will take place in Maryborough from 6 to 16 January, 2025. The event will bring together 8,000 Scouts and 1,500 Leaders from across Australia, as well as hundreds of international Scouts.
The Pre-Jamboree camp gave the Scouts a taste of what’s to come, starting each day bright and early. At 5:30am, they gathered supplies for the day and cooked breakfast before heading off to a range of exciting activities, both onsite and around Townsville. One activity saw Scouts planning and organising a walk to catch a bus for a day of exploring the city before returning to camp in the late afternoon.
Those who stayed onsite enjoyed games, rope challenges, volleyball, and knot-tying activities. Evenings were spent cooking dinner and participating in nighttime activities, followed by reflections on how the day's events went and what could be improved for the future.
The camp wrapped up on Monday with a BBQ lunch, followed by packing up and heading home, a little wiser and a lot more tired. A big thank you to all the organisers and Leaders for a fantastic weekend of fun and learning!

After an action packed week, Bree, Amy, and Rikki certainly went home tired!
