Scouting South Africa Scouting Western Cape
Scouts from the Helderberg District in the Western Cape mobilised quickly to support over two hundred fire-fighters and
conservation staff during this weekend’s devastating wild fires on the Helderberg
mountain that saw eleven houses and a hotel burned to the ground.
The first Scout Troops in Africa were formed in Cape Town in 1908, the year after BP's Brownsea Island camp that started the worldwide Scout movement. The Western Cape therefore has a long and proud history of Scouting and the Heritage Centre showcases an amazing collection of scouting artifacts and memorabilia.
