Archive for the ‘5. Venturers’ Category
After the great success of our Venturers at last year’s VenMX, claiming the winning trophy for the first time in many years, it is time again for the Venturers to rally for the most challenging competition hike of the year.
Carrying on with the tradition of the Rover Crew, our current ‘Saints,’ Emile, Owen and Matt, are joining in with this year’s, assisting in the running of Checkpoints.
If you would like to take part in this very worthwhile activity check out the VenMX site.

Get ready for Roventure 2008!
It’s that time of year again when Rover Crew’s from across South-East Queensland decide that their Venturer Unit’s aren’t so smelly and invite them to be their guests at the one and only Rover/Venturer activity of Roventure.
This year it’s actually being called ‘RowVenture’ as the camp is themed around the famous words of our founder BP in saying that you should “row your own canoe.” Bearing this in mind water activities, pirate discos and canoing are aplenty this year with fun applied liberally across the whole weekend.
If you are interested, which you naturally all would be considering how much fun Hamish had last year when The Gap Rovers took him along, then have a read of the flyer and get your folks to sign off on the Application Form both of which can be found on the Queensland Rovers site, and don’t forget to bring them along on Friday night with a crisp $50 note and Bob’s your uncle and Fanny’s your aunt. (For your information Emile will be playing the part of Bob for the weekend, Owen will be playing the part of Fanny, Bill will be the narrator and I will continue to cast whosoever else into appropriate roles at mine own discretion).
For the sake of keeping count of numbers (in the fashion of three preceding two, two preceding one, etc.) if a weekend of exuberant, unmitigated, overflowing, gushing, rapturous, unashamed, unmasked f-u-n gets you excited then send the Rover Crew an email immediately expressing your primitive desire to have fun! Our email address is… rovers@stjohnswoodscouts.org
This is what f-u-n looked like at Roventure 2007..!
