10th New Zealand Venture held
Some 350 Venturer Scouts, 55 leaders and 20 programme support team members attended the very successful V07 event held in the upper North Island of New Zealand between the 2nd and 10th January 2007.
Venturers from 7 nations attended, being 9 from Japan, 1 from Hong Kong, 1 from the UK, 1 from Germany, 1 from USA, 150 from Australia and 262 from New Zealand. The Venturers formed into 14 different expedition groups and undertook activities such as caving, sailing, canoeing, surfing, tramping, mountain biking, driving, a 4 wheel drive safari, a professional leadership course based on an outer island in the Hauraki Gulf, white water rafting, abseiling and high wire work and other adventurous activities.
The Venturers were formed into units of 8 members plus an adult Leader within the 14 expedition groups, with each unit having to collaborate on drawing up a menu to suit their individual dietary needs, keep within a given budget, purchase the required food on their way to the expedition site and cook their own meals while on the expedition. This was in keeping with the aim of the Venture Section goal of preparing young people to face life’s challenges.
