Many scouts will be familiar with the Senior Scout Adventure Cederberg. Unfortunately, due to COVID uncertainty, that event will not take place this summer.

As a replacement, Gauteng Region will be hosting the first Senior Scout Adventure Magaliesberg (SSAM) from 6 Jan to 9 Jan 2022.

This event is open to senior scouts (>=14.5 years, as of the event start date). The event will include hiking, water activities and other bases, and will take place at Hartebeespoort dam and in the Magaliesberg mountains.

Patrols of 10 scouts + 1 adult leader will be formed from scouts from your troop and/or others. If you would like to attend the first ever SSAM, then express your interest by

filling in the attached form. You do not have to find all 10 scouts and the adult leader. However, if you do, then that would help the organisers.

Note that due to resource constraints, participant numbers will be limited. It is important therefore that you immediately register your intention to participate by filling in this form.

This opportunity closes on Sat 13 November at 23:59. Thereafter, those who have registered, will be requested to provide further information and make payment.

Costs will be kept to a minimum and will be advised later.

Like the Cederberg event, this event will be physically strenuous. We therefore recommend that you prepare by improving your fitness and map reading skills over the next two months.

Adult helpers

The SSAM committee is urgently looking for adult Scouters to assist in the running of this event. To find out more about helping as an adult, click here.
