Bilbo Baggins would be proud.
Nearly 200 senior scouts will be empowered through adventure and challenge at the Piopio Adventure Camp.
Scouts will arrive at Greenmount Farms in Paekaka Rd next month from scout groups all over the Upper North Island, supported by kaiarahi (or leaders). Each scout section is self-sufficient, bringing its own camping equipment and food.
The location is less than half an hour’s drive from Hairy Feet Waitomo, the location where the protagonist of Sir Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit: An Adventurous Journey found an abandoned farm and encountered trolls who were turned to stone by the wizard Gandalf.
Scouts will participate in small teams of six, or patrols, in a series of activities including abseiling, archery, caving, Frisbie golf, grass skiing, motor biking, mountain boarding, shooting, zip lining and a mystery activity.
