O Thursday night, the Venturers had a cooking challenge night! We were split into two groups and one group had to make anzac biscuits, the other stuffed peppers. The most efficient team won! A fun time was had by all, and the food turned out deliciously!
The sun was shining when 31 of us set of tramping along the Orongorongo Track to the Turere Lodge.
The Scouts had a great time finding out information on NZ Police from Constable Hamish Knight of Johnsonville Police station. They were shown what tools Hamish has available to him, which started with how to control people by using certain arm locks, with a couple of lively scouts happily volunteering to be pinned and handcuffed!!
The scouts had a great time having all their questions answered. Afterwards the scouts got the opportunity to be fingerprinted, view the police cells and see some of the guns used by NZ Police and try on some of the gear.
Thanks Hamish, the scouts had a great time.
We had a busy weekend in Hastings with 13 Scouts, 3 leaders and 1 parent helper making the journey to Hastings.
Saturday was a day full of learning activities:
The rest of the weekend was putting the new skills we learnt to the test!! With the main focus on FUN.
We had a full on weekend, once again our youth showing dedication and outstanding hardwork. When we returned home everyone was ready for bed!!
Venturers doing a BBQ fundraiser to help get some of us to the jamboree at the end of the year as Youth Service Team. Hopefully more BBQs this term, so keep your eyes out when you’re at Bunnings!
