Scouts walk for children's charity

Members of Woy Woy Scout Group participated in a fundraising walk from Gosford to Woy Woy in order to raise money for a children's charity on November 8.

The group began its full-day walk from Gosford District Scout Hall before heading along Gosford waterfront to Point Clare Scout Hall.

Group leader Ms Tracey Seal said the Scout group members donated money raised through the event to McHappy Day for Ronald McDonald House Charities.

"Our first leg of the walk was from Gosford, along the water front, to the park near Point Clare Scout Hall," Ms Seal said.

"At the park, we had a nice refreshing drink and rested a little while.

"From the park at Point Clare, we walked along the waterfront to Tascott waterfront.

"At this stop we had some oranges, a drink and also made sure we filled up our water bottles.

"Our next stop was at Fisherman's Wharf at Woy Woy.

"This stop was short because most of the participants wanted to keep going, so we had a quick drink and kept going.

"We finally finished our walk at our Scout hall near Lions Park, Woy Woy.

"We had two white buckets we were carrying with us, asking people we saw for a donation.

"After our walk we finished the day with a sausage sizzle.

"We made a lot of money for McHappy Day and also showed the community that First Woy Woy Sea Scouts do get out and about."
