Brief Summary:

The 1st Carlingford Scout Section has facilitated the Murramarang South Coast Walk (3 days, 2 nights) to support a Scout completing her Adventurous Journey for the Australian Scout Award. Please note that this activity is planned and led by a youth working towards their Peak Award. The walk covers a total of 34 kilometers, from Pretty Beach to Maloneys Beach over three days. Both Scouts and Venturers are welcome to join, but previous experience with lightweight camping and bushwalking, as well as good fitness, are required. Bushwalking OAS Stage 3 or higher is recommended. The $20 camping fee is non-refundable.
