Welcome to
the Venturing Green web site. Since to recent developments, Venturing green, is undergoing restructuring and a change of mangement. The service weekends have been held at Woodhouse and the work has been excellent.
These weekend
can be used as part of your Queen Scout, Duke Of Edinburgh or Landcare
badge. For more information please check out the award system section
for more details.
Some of the recent Work performed by Venturers, is as follows, the trees along the creek have been cut down as part of the weed management
strategy in the Adelaide Hills. Since the Jamboree has been and gone,
it has left infrastructure which needs to be mantained since they were
made just before the event. Plants are needed to stabilise the ground
and to encourage natural fauna back to the area.

CHANGE OF MANAGEMENT
Venturing Green has had a run'in with politics, and things have chanaged. Shaz is no longer the coordinator. She would like to thank all participants for making the most fun and challenging activity she has run.
Woodhouse mangement has allowed the Venturers to have one weekend for VG each year, but it has to be at Seeonee Hills.
There has been talk for some time, that VG should be incorporated into the MURRAY RIVER RESCUE. That would run on the same weekend as MRR and be considered as VG for that year. The main change is that VG will become a single day environmental project and there will be camping and cost relating. While it can be used for service section of the Queen Scout award.
The focus of VG has changed to be seen in the scouting community and to promote Venturers to the other scouting sections.
