On this week in 1973 - Scouting and Guiding members took part in a Walkathon that raised $12,000 for a “Scout camp on the Murrumbidgee River and a training caravan for Guide Leaders” according to The Canberra Times. The 2,000 Scouting members walked an adage of 14 miles each (nearly 30 kilometres). Pictured is the Cubs of the then 1st O’Connor St, Phillip Cub Pack with their Cub Leader. #WhereAreTheyNow? #GoodTurns Photo credit: Canberra Times
