[Venturers] Armstrong 500 is on again

Armstrong 500 is a competitive hike which 5th 6th Venturers have competed the last two years.   One of our teams has finished 3rd and 2nd…sadly it was the Leaders team.

If you like hiking, and love a challenge, this is the weekend for you. It will be held from 9-11 September 2016 in Labertouche, West Gippsland and, knowing the local weather, there will be mud.

There will also be about 20 stunts with short, sharp challenges (no more than 20 minutes) focusing on things like construction, first aid, initiative, communication, creativity, mapping and more. These are scattered throughout country that includes some steep hikes. There will be one central base camp, but you will have to take all your gear with you each day.

Teams of 4-7 Venturers, or 4-7 Leaders and/or Rovers, can enter, and you can also use Armstrong as an initiative course.

This years theme is THE HUNGER GAMES….should be fun…….

Get together a team……or we can put you in a 5th 6th team.  It would be great to see as many venturers involved as possible.
