LOCKDOWN ACTIVITIES
Over the lockdown period our scouts took part in the Covert-19 program, staying entertained and keeping the scouting spirit going. The troop also took part in the national hike to Mafikeng challenge and the scouts tried their hand at cooking with a virtual MasterChef competition.

We continued to focus on community service. We helped to raise over 7k for Ons Plek Child and Youth Care Centre and assisted our rover crew by collecting clothing and donations for a community soup kitchen in Khayalitsha.
