This is a great way to end the year. For those that haven’t been to Deep Pass before, it’s an amazing camp up in the Blue Mountains near Newnes. It’s on the 17th to 19th of December – so have those days free if you can!
This is a fantastic place for swimming, canyoning, caving and abseiling, and there is a fantastic camping ground where you can just chill out. Getting there is easy, it’s a drive up to the mountains, and a 1km walk to the campsite.
For those of you that don’t have your Venturing Skills Award, this is a great opportunity to get it. This award is the basic award for Venturing. Once you have this you are able to participate in Dragonskin and other activities required for your Queen Scout Award.
The Venturing Skills Award consists of these 3 items:
– First Aid
– Bushwalking
– Have a basic knowledge of the award scheme.
Check your Venturer Scout Record Book for more details, and go over the things that you need to know. Contact your leaders if you have any questions.
Also, check your emails for more specific departure times and specific details for the Deep Pass camp.
See ya’ll there!!
