Dural Scouts Bike Hike
Cycling is one of Scouting’s various outdoor activities in which scouts learn and undertake new adventurous activity skills and develop existing skills.
On an August evening, the Dural scouts set out around Galston on their bikes and scooters along with Leaders Nathan, Gavin, and Steve. This activity was suggested and planned by scout Kiera, in line with our youth led, adult supported program.
The night started with each scout doing an ABCD pre-ride test, where A is for Air, B is for Brakes, and C is for cranks, chain,s and cogs. Scouts had fun with the D which refers to a drop test: pick the bike up about 5cm off the ground and drop it. If things fell off (torches, lights, mounted items) or unusual sounds were made, then the scout had to help locate and fix the issues.
The scouts cycled on to Hayes Park where they looped the oval in the well-lit skate area and finished the night with a quick review of what they had experienced.
