First night of Term 2 - Double the program!

Welcome back to Term 2!
This Tuesday night, we have 2 different programs lined up - double the program!

Program option 1:
For those who want to get cracking on their Queen's Scout Award, Rachel and I will be available all night to answer questions, and help you start planning out what you need to do to get it done.

Program option 2:
Bigger/Better Night! You start with a small object and go door to door around the neighbourhood, asking people if they will swap what you have for something either bigger, or better. See what you end up with at the end of the night!

Details for both options:
Where: Mirage Hall (Bignell Rd, East Bentleigh)
When: 7:30 - 9:30 (regular time)
Wear: Uniform (for those doing Bigger/Better, this is important - people will freak out less about you knocking on their door if you're in Scout uniform)
Cost: Nil

See you all on Tuesday night!

Hike 17-18 April

Dear Venturers,

Just a reminder that we have a hike programmed from 17-18 of April. I am still available to come along to assist you (i.e. drive up x1 carload), and to help with planning.

However, I won't plan this hike. If you guys want to get it happening, it's up to you to get back to me with a plan of:
- Where do you want to go? - We were talking about the Cathedral Ranges
- How are we going to get there?
- What gear you're going to take (what do you need to borrow from the den/unit?)
- Organise maps (I may be able to help you out here, or at least point you in the right direction)
- Do you need to book campsites?
- Who's organising menus/food/cooking gear?

I'm more than happy to help out, but you guys need to be the one's with the momentum and the plans to get this hike happening.

Feel free to give me a call (number below) if you want to talk about this more. If I haven't heard from anyone by the end of Tuesday, I'll assume it's not on. Keep in mind Tuesday is cutting it VERY fine to begin organising... so if you're serious about this, get onto it now!

Cheers,

Rach

Come and join us for an awesome night of fun at the hall!

Games for the week include: 'Slogger Ball,' Indoor/Outdoor Soccer, and David G's special game where you all face one way and he places a few objects behind you and when told 'go' you have to be the first to grab it... Venturer Style! These games require absolutely no skill involved so be there or bring another friend!

Edit by Cheese: For those who are going on the Initiative Course next weekend, we'll also be doing a bunch of prep activities for that. If you have your own menu you want to cook, bring it (typed out) so I can approve it. Otherwise you have to cook one of the two pre-approved menus.
