Venturers this week (6/9/11) - Op Shop Fashion Night

Hi all,
Below is a message from Grace regarding the Op Shop Fashion Night this Tuesday:
I'm organising an opp shop fashion night all u gotta do is buy an outfit from an opp shop (up to a max of $50) and wear it on tuesday.
Chris Anderson, Spencer Lulu Walker and myself will be judging and the categories will probably be best outfit for the least amount of money, best outfit, worst outfit, most creative outfit and maybe some others. The winners will get a prize that will be really awesome :)
Normal time and place - 7:30 to 9:30 at the hall.

See you all on Tuesday!

If you have any suggestions please send me a message either replied here or send me an inbox on facebook (if you have me) for a quicker response.

BYO sleeping bags, pillows etc. get comfy. Cheese and Toad, our beloved leaders will provide us with drinks if we're nice. if everyone could bring a packet of chips, biscuits, timtams, lollies or DinnerBox to share that would be helpful.
Yiv,

Back to Scouts Week

This week is our Back to Scouts Week, where Venturers go back and visit their home Scout Troop.
This is for two reasons; so you can keep contact up with your own Scout Group, and so the Scouts get to see Venturers.

What this means is instead of coming to Venturers as normal on Tuesday night, you need to go to the normal Scout Night of your Troop.
Here is a list of who should be going where and when:

- Bailey Reserve (Mon 7:30 - 9:30) - Cameron J, Ross, Tate

- 1st McKinnon (Tues 7:30 - 9:30) - Alex, Madi

- 4th Caulfield (Tues 7:30 - 9:30) - Adrian, Cameron R

- 10th Caulfield (Thurs 7:30 - 9:30) - Jono

- 1st Central Moorabbin (Thurs 7:30 - 9:30) - Ariel, George, Anthony, Sam, Jess

Scouts that are linking at the moment should also go to their Scout night as normal.

What will you be doing on the night: you should have a game prepared to run (your choice). Other than that, just take part in whatever the Scouts are doing, and help the Scout Leaders out as necessary. You should wear full uniform.

If you have any questions, let me know.

First Night back for Venturers - 1/2/11

Hi all,

This Tuesday, 1/2/11 is our first night back from Venturers.

Because only 2 Venturers turned up to our programming meeting this afternoon, Tuesday night will be dedicated to putting our program together for the year, as well as a couple of games. If you want to have your input into the Unit program, make sure you bring along your ideas!

Also, any of you who have done any work on your Queen's Scout badgework, please bring all your current paperwork (passport, proposal forms, certificates, etc.) so I can check over them and help you plan out more badgework for this year.

Meeting will be normal time, 7:30 - 9:30 at the Mirage Hall. Please bring your uniform for parade.

I look forward to seeing your bright and smiling faces again for 2011!

Welcome to 2011!

Welcome back everyone!

To kick off the year, we'll be having a planning afternoon to set our program for the year on Sunday January 30th at 2pm, at the Mirage Hall.
All unit members are welcome and encouraged to come along and have their input into what we do for the year. Remember, decisions are made by those who turn up!

Our first Tuesday night back for the year will be on February 1st, at the hall. More details to follow based on what comes out of the planning afternoon.
