On Saturday 10th May 20 keen hikers (Scouts and family members) of the Lower Burdekin Scout Group hiked up and down Mt Inkerman. The day before Mother’s Day each year Scouts around the world undertake a hike called “Trail Jam” or previously known as “Jamboree of the Trail”.
The ages of the hikers ranged from 2-80 years, and the morning started with a small activity involving compasses and maps before tackling the trail. There was a hot BBQ sausage waiting for all the hikers when they got to the top. The Scouts then had to use their compass to find the magnetic bearing of several landmarks from the lookout.
The weather was very mild and the views spectacular. Before heading back down the trail everyone went to look at the spot where the hang-gliders take off and land. Unfortunately, there were no hang-gliders using Mt Inkerman that day.
The Lower Burdekin Scouts meet on a Thursday night in 12th Ave Home Hill, 5–7 years meet 4pm to 5pm and 8-18 years meet 5.30pm to 7.30pm. People can come along for four weeks free to Try Scouting by contacting Rikki on 0419 104 035.
