Brief Summary:
Join us for a fun day bushwalking adventure through the beautiful Garigal National Park, exploring some of Sydney’s best natural bushland trails. This hike will take Scouts through the Pipeline Track and Bungaroo Track, continuing to The Cascades and Wayne Schimanski Reserve, where we will stop for lunch before returning to our starting point. This is a fantastic opportunity to build bushwalking skills, fitness, navigation awareness, and enjoy the outdoors with fellow Scouts.
