Grey Wolf Hike - Hike 3

Last Saturday, Sam P took asked 3 cubs to assist with him completing his Grey Wolf Hike. Bagheera was asked to go along as his leader - but he would be like a cub on the day.

Sam's hike would take us to Witches Falls at Mt Tamborine.

It is very windy and cold at the top, but once down in the grove and trees it was very pleasant for a hike.


On the journey the cubs learnt certain things to look for in the bush, water they can drink when in need, and if a day as windy and cool would dehydrate cubs as quickly as a hot day.


I, for one, enjoyed this hike as it is a chance to get out into the bush and I am sure our cubs also enjoyed the outing in a different environment. Bagheera Cub also challenged Sam with walking slow and hiding behind a tree.

Sam adjusted well to the fact we could not cover the entire walk in the timeframe and had to head back on a shorter path. Not everyone walks at the leaders pace and we have to adjust to the slowest walker.


Well done Sam, you have now completed your base requirements for the Grey Wolf and I will be sending in your application for the award in the next few days.
