Rockingham Scout Group

Raksha has been part of the 3 year journey as we planned for Camp Mid West but was unable to come as she is halfway through 20 weeks of chemotherapy. So we carried her in our hearts, our minds and on a stick, inserting her head into the photos of our adventures for over 1,700kms.
Our last day of camp was Raksha’s 41st birthday and we celebrated with cake and singing at our hall before we all said goodbye and went home.
In Raksha’s words, “If something doesn’t feel right in your own body, please don’t be scared—go get those tests! If Cancer has taught me anything, it's that You're Never Too Young for Cancer!”

Camp Mid West Day 7 …
Essential Photo Booth frame photos were snapped before we left camp for the final time. We headed east for a tour of The 11th Battalion AIF and the Gallipoli Trench Project. The trench is an authentic replica of a captured Turkish trench as taken by the 11th on the night of 31st July 1915 and named for the commander who led the attack, Capt R. L. Leane.
The experience left a lasting impression on all of us. It reminded us just how much has been sacrificed for the freedoms we enjoy every day. We came away feeling especially grateful for those who served, allowing us to be able to come together, enjoy our week long camp, and create memories in peace.
