Cub Scouts Awarded

Four inspiring Proserpine Cub Scouts have completed a range of bushwalking, bushcraft and camping activities and have now achieved the prestigious Grey Wolf Peak Award Badge.
During these endeavours they learnt compass work, first aid knowledge, how to read different maps, cook a meal on a campfire and camped a minimum five nights with the Scouts.
They also completed six different special interest projects and individually organised an adventurous activity.
Ryan Penhallurick walked 32 kilometres over nine bushwalks, camped 20 nights with Scouts over 11 camps and has been with Proserpine Scout Group for three years.
Savi Griffith has walked 23 kilometres over six bushwalks, camped 15 nights over eight camps and has been with Proserpine Scout Group for 2.5 years.
Benji Spann has walked 28 kilometres over eight bushwalks. Camped 10 nights over six camps and has been with Proserpine Scout Group for 2.5 years.
Jaxon Lyon has walked 33 kilometres over nine bushwalks. Camped 19 nights over 10 camps and has been with Proserpine Scout Group for three years.
To celebrate the occasion, the Proserpine Cub Scouts held a camp at Discovery Holiday Park, Airlie Beach, where they gave an award ceremony, friends and family of the youth were invited to attend and be a part of this special award ceremony.  
Ryan, Savi, Benji and Jaxon have been working hard over the past 2-3 years in the Cub Scout Section to get this prestigious award. They all loved receiving their certificate, trophy and woggle for their scarf.
