Halloween Jelly Wrestling

noreply@blogger.com (Danny) — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 09:35:00 +0000

Yes, it's here once again!

This year's Jelly Wrestling Competition has a Hallowe'en theme because it's being held on October 31st from 2-5pm.

All details, the flyer, and online entry form can be found RIGHT HERE!

Wow, August already?

We keep ourselves so busy that I forget to update this website!

In the last few months we've done some wonderful activities, and things are on the rise for Fullarton Venturers with 2 linking Scouts and a few others doing "Come and Try" activities with us.

A night of "Come and Try Spaceball" with all units invited (and Trailblazer and Port Noarlunga in attendance) was a lot of fun. We had some Kintaro guys join us for a Random Photo Scavenger Hunt in Rundle Mall followed by Pancakes at the Pancake Kitchen. And just last night we held an Iron Chef Cooking Competition with Tranmere with the theme of Asian Food, and photos of that are up in the gallery! Check em out!

Coming up is our Venturing Skills Hike, Ice Skating, and hopefully some Quad Biking at the end of term!

More Photos!

Term 2's more than half way through, so let's show you what we've been up to!

Fullarton Venturers had a car in African Safari NONT - We were Time Safari, Inc! No idea yet how well we went, but it was a pretty fun night.

And just tonight we had a fun night at Kartmania doing some Go-Karting and Lazer Skirmish, followed with a snack at Cafe de Vilis. We did invite like five other Venturer units to join us for this, but none showed up! Soft! We also took the opportunity to invest Darcy as a new member of the unit.

Photos of both activities are now up in the gallery.

Spaceball!!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Danny) — Mon, 25 May 2009 11:04:00 +0000

Last week we had a few games of Spaceball with Rowallan Venturers and Aesir Rovers.
A few shots and videos are now up in the gallery!

If your unit/crew/troop wants to come and play Spaceball with Fullarton, just let us know!

Coming up soon we're heading to African Safari NONT, going to Go Karting and Lazer Skirmish and having a few relaxing nights towards the end of term.

Kneeboarding photos!

noreply@blogger.com (Danny) — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 10:12:00 +0000

Photos from our awesome kneeboarding weekend are now up in the gallery! Have a look and see what you missed out on! Sucked in :p

Happy New Year!

noreply@blogger.com (Danny) — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 07:57:00 +0000

Fullarton Venturers returns now, in 2009!

We start up again next week for another year packed full of great activities and a lot of fun. We're still a small unit (and we always welcome new members, just email us!) but a powerful one - our first big activity is a Waterskiing / Kneeboarding Camp in mid-February that's been almost completely organised by Venturers themselves!

So after a few months of planning done by teenagers like you, we are looking forward to relaxing and kicking back with some high-speed water sports.

Psst... Jelly Wrestling date for this year is October 31st... put it in your diaries now!

Rock and Roll all NONT

noreply@blogger.com (Danny) — Sun, 25 May 2008 08:19:00 +0000

"Fashion Victims Unit" had a wonderful time at Flash Rovers' Rock and Roll all NONT last night - so much so we didn't reach the finish point until about 4.30am and got back to the Scout hall at 6am!

We have photos to prove it.... head over to the gallery and check em out! We'd love to have your comments.

Pancakes in Public!

noreply@blogger.com (Danny) — Thu, 15 May 2008 11:46:00 +0000

Some new photos are up from our night out last night cooking Pancakes in Public - in Rymill Park on the corner of Rundle St and East Tce. Okay, so the cooking itself (on trangias) wasn't all that successful, but we still had fun :)

Check out the photos in the gallery...

FVU will be making an appearance at Rock and Roll all NONT next week, and on the June long weekend, we'll be heading up to The Dutchmans Stern near Quorn for some nice hiking with the Dune Raiders (Roxby Downs Venturer Unit).
