Wow! What an awesome weekend! The Scouts and Venturers from Mount Colah Mount Kuring Gai teamed up for an amazing weekend at Camp Kuring Gai on the Hawkesbury River.

Leaders and Venturers made sure that the Scouts had a great introduction into Venturing!

Although it was a very hot weekend (36 degrees!) there were plenty of water activities to keep us cool! Being towed behind the speed boat was the highlight for most Scouts and Vennies. The disco was a hit as well, although it was a little too loud. Those who wanted to relax in a quieter environment could chill out at the movies.

Ventout is one of the highlight of the Scouting calendar. I’m sure all of us will be doing it again same time next year!!!

It’s been a MASSIVE year so far!

Venturers have had a very full program this year!! To quickly summarise, the year kicked off with; a Snowy Mountains Bushwalk, a Brooklyn Dam camp, Roventure, Dragonskin, camping at the Tanks and Wannawang, bike hikes in the Blue Mountains, Urban Caving, Amazing Race in the city, fishing, and heaps of BBQ’s!

We are currently teamed up with the Mount Colah Mount Kuring Gai Venturers to share activities with them.

Although it’s been a big year, it ain’t over yet! Here are just some of the things that we’ve done this term!
- Can collecting to help with the overs
- Our own YouTube Film Festival night
- Calabash Castle Hike
- City Photo Scavange Hunt
- Ventout – where we hang out with the Scouts, swim and speedboat

We still have these activities to do before the end of the year…
- Manly Waterworks
- Deep Pass Xmas Camp: Caving, swimming, exploring
- and the big end of year party!!!

So, as you can see, we’re a very active bunch! All the best to the rest of the Group and to the families who support us!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
