The Howick Highlander 'weekend', started off on 30 July, with an estimated crowd of 1000 people, who gathered at dawn at the memorial cairn built to remember the 6000 rhinos killed by poachers since 2007. The 1st Howick Cub and Scout Group, worked with the Kingsley Holgate Foundation and Project Rhino KZN, to start a global awareness campaign in the Scout Movement on rhino poaching and wildlife crime.
The Ring of Scouts had 560 members, which will be a challenge to other organizations to try and beat this with a similar message for our Endangered Rhino.
Also In attendance for the #rhinoshoutout, Sibusiso Vilane (extreme adventurer and Chief Scout for South Africa).
