In 1981, the first Border Hike at Gradbach created a
foundation for a landmark event in the Scouting calendar that is now in its
twenty sixth year!
The Border Hike represents Scouting and
Guiding at
its best; teamwork, exciting challenges, tests of leadership,
skill, general knowledge, personal survival and helping others, but most of all
fun, friendship and unforgettable memories!
Scouts who competed in the first hike
are
regular attendees at the hike and offer support as route marshalls, safety
officers, catering or
administration staff. Some just turn up to enjoy the unique laid-back atmosphere
at Gradbach, where the air is always clean, the mood is always cheerful and the
teapot is never empty!
Why not join us in September 2010 - we love to welcome new
friends as much as we enjoy greeting old ones!
