Lower Burdekin Scouts Take on Sailing and Shooting Adventures
Members of the Lower Burdekin Scout Group have been keeping busy with back-to-back outdoor adventures this August.
On August 16, four Scouts from the group joined 10 others from Townsville for a sailing day at the Townsville Sailing Club. Under clear skies and a light breeze, participants started with sailing theory before learning to rig their boats. Once on the water, they rotated through different positions, gaining hands-on experience steering, handling sails, and working as a team. Scouts also spent time in the rescue boat, learning essential safety skills. The day provided a fun and practical introduction to sailing, with everyone enjoying the challenge and camaraderie.
A week later, on August 24, the Lower Burdekin Scouts joined 60 others at the Hervey Range Shooting Grounds for the annual Townsville-area shooting competition. The sunny day with a slight breeze set the scene for the event, which began with registration and a group safety briefing. Safety officers reminded Scouts throughout the competition of important protocols. Each Scout shot two rounds of five shots at targets, with the winner determined by the most shots closest to the centre.
The Lower Burdekin Scout Group meets every Thursday from 5.30pm to 7.30pm at 12th Avenue, Home Hill. Families interested in joining can try Scouting for free for four weeks. For more information, contact Rikki on 0419 104 035.
