On the 1st April, Cubs, Scouts, Venturers, Leaders and parents from Eden, Merimbula, Bega, Cobargo and Moruya met for a day of Abseiling near Cobargo.
In the morning, the Venturers, set up 4 abseiling sites under the guidance and assistance of the Leaders, and then had a chance to do some abseiling themselves. In the afternoon, the Cubs and Scouts arrived and the Venturers and Leaders ran the abseiling for them.
A big thank you to the Venturers and older Scouts for helping to run the abseiling, and taking the time and care required to help get the younger kids over their fear and down the rock face. It's a big thing for anyone taking their first step over the cliff and putting their faith in the rope and having the older kids mentor and encourage the younger one's is priceless.
