Patrols were asked to build the tallest, free-standing tower using just balloons and some sticky tape within a set time.
It was good to see they Patrols working as a team using different strategies. The winning patrol by the height of the extra green balloon!!
Here are the photos of Tuesday’s dinner hosted by the Scouts. It was a WW1 themed dinner where the Scout’s parents were invited and the Scouts put on some skits and performances. Then at the end Dawn was presented with her Silver Scout Award.
It was a hardy group of 12 Venturers that set off from a flooded Wellington late on a Friday headed for Sunrise Ridge in the Hawkes Bay. These are spectacular peaks, and its a great setting that set off many conversations about where the next trip would go…! A fantastic experience, one that will be a highlight for some time to come.
The luxurious hut!

We all stood together shoulder to shoulder immersed in the feeling of deep respect we have for those who gave everything they had for us. What an honor to be part of the dawn parade witnessed by thousands present. Our scout group were outstanding and we should all be very proud.
The Brooklyn Service made us all feel part of a community that recognized the value in understanding the sacrifices made in the past that shaped what we have now. We all remembered and we will not forget, and we are extremely proud of our youth.
