Jamboree Of The Trail

Lower Burdekin Scout Group took part in a Scouting tradition practised all around the world when they went on a hike on the Saturday before Mother's Day.
The event is known as Jamboree of the Trail, where some of the Lower Burdekin Scout Group members joined approximately 200 Scouts of various ages and adults in Townsville on Saturday May 11 to hike from the Jezzine Barracks.
The older Scouts walked to the top of Castle Hill and back while the younger Scouts walked down along the Strand towards the yacht club and back.  
There were several stops along the way for a snack, drink and play.
At the end of the hike, everybody enjoyed a well-earned BBQ before heading home.
