The Fantastic race is a Patrol Activity that will require you to travel around via public transport and foot power, use the grey matter be-
tween your ears, yes that is thinking and I know it hurts, to complete challenges and find information and clues that you will use to complete the
“Password” that will give you access to your next destination and challenges.
Commencing at the Heathmont Railway Station Car Park at 8:00am on Saturday, (Melways map 50 A12), you will venture out as
Patrols traveling primarily by train and foot to a series of destinations at which you will be required to complete a challenge, answer some ques-
tions or solve a puzzle in order to complete the password to get your next instructions.
The Fantastic Race runs over Saturday and Sunday with all scouts returning to be billeted in scout halls around Heathmont, Ringwood East and
Bayswater stations on Saturday night for a Pizza Dinner and Movies.
You will be provided a Breakfast on Sunday morning before venturing out again for more fun. The fantastic Race finishes up at the Scout
Hall in H. E Parker Reserve (Melways map 64 C2) on Sunday with pick up at 3.00pm.
