Sunday 15th March saw ~40 scouts from 1st Dapto, Dapto, 1st Shellharbour, 1st Warilla, and 1st Jamberoo scout troops down at William Beach Park (Mullet Creek) in Dapto for the Illawarra South Distric Rafting Day.
Patrols of 4-6 scouts were supplied the equipment to build a raft of their own design. Some patrols took their time constructing very sturdy rafts. Others rushed and subsequently had to rebuild their raft several times. Once their rafts were seaworthy (mostly...) it was a race to collect point flags that were placed around the bank. Easy flags earned you 1 or 2 points. Difficult flags were 3 or 5 points. Once all the flags were collected the points were tallied and the winners were the Puff Daddy patrol from Dapto.
Scouts, leaders and parents alike had a great day.
