Caving School 2016
In the April holidays, a few of the Venturers went to the National Scout Caving School in Waitomo. The caving school is one of many fantastic national schools, along with ones like photography school, aviation school, snow school, mountaineering school and canoe school. We spent 5 days up there, going into a new cave everyday. We spent about 7 hours each day underground, squeezing into gaps, scrambling up rock falls and trying not to get lost. Despite getting wet, cold, tired and bruised all over, all who went are keen to go back next year!
Venturers Explained
This Monday we went to Kelburn Scout hall in the Botanic Gardens and told them all about who Venturers are, how we work, and the fun stuff that we do! This is partly to recruit new members, but also to generally raise awareness of Venturers, because we enjoy it so much and want others to be able to have fun too. Here are pictures of some of the fun games we played with them!
Fun With Forms!

Recently, our Venturer unit hit the town in a game of ‘Fun With Forms’. The aim of the game is to get as many points as possible. Points are awarded for pictures taken in front of specified places or things such as The Beehive or Readings Cinemas with the whole team and a bench, or ‘form’ in the photo. Points are deducted if the team is caught on camera by a leader and they are not all sitting on the form. It is somewhat of a tradition in this group and like every other time, a fun night was had by all.
