First Dragon Skin back since 2023 for our Ermo Vennies — and what a weekend it was 🔥

41st place overall, but with a score that would’ve placed 6th back in 2019 — an incredible effort, especially considering not a single one of our team had done Dragon Skin before.

45 bases, 4 VOCs, and a full weekend of pushing limits, problem-solving, teamwork, and plenty of laughs along the way. From the toughest challenges to the best moments of fun, they gave it everything.

And to top it off — over 600 Venturers at VOC 4 last night, an atmosphere that’s hard to describe unless you’ve lived it.

They’re probably all asleep right now… and well deserved 😴 ,

What a weekend! 💪🔥
1st Ermington Vennies and Scouts teamed up with 1st Carlingford and 1/2 Merrylands for an absolutely epic pioneering camp.
We went big… and then bigger:
• 7m flag poles flying high
• An 11m drawbridge (!!)
• 6m towers
• 15m monkey bridges
• And even a working merry-go-round
On top of all that, Scouts made great progress through OAS Stage 4–7 (and even tackled parts of Stage 8!) in pioneering – a huge effort from everyone involved.
Massive teamwork, plenty of problem solving, and a whole lot of fun. This is what Scouting is all about 👊
Already keen for the next one! 1st/2nd Merrylands Scout Group 1St Carlingford Scout Group Hall Scouts NSW GWSR Scouts GWSR Venturers

The Vennies had an epic (and slightly chaotic) weekend hike in the Blue Mountains! 🥾⛰️
We headed down the Golden Staircase and climbed up toward Ruined Castle… and just before hitting Knife Edge Ridge, a thunderstorm rolled in like it was timed for maximum drama ⚡️🌧️
For anyone who doesn’t know, Knife Edge Ridge is basically one giant scramble — steep, rocky, and very challenging if you’re not a fan of heights or exposed climbs… so naturally we arrived right as the sky started exploding 😅
Mt Solitary was temporarily cancelled, so we set up camp, waited it out, and fully embraced the “survival documentary” vibes.
Saturday was insanely hot with unreal views, and once things cleared we smashed out a quick up-and-down of Mt Solitary like absolute machines 💪🔥
Then Sunday arrived… cold, wet, muddy, and absolutely FULL of leeches 🩸😂
Special shoutout to one of our Vennies who somehow chose this weekend as their first big hike — welcome to the hobby, mate!
Challenging, hilarious, exhausting… and such an awesome sense of achievement. What a weekend! ⛰️🔥

🌊 Snorkelling at Shelly Beach Today! 🐠🐢
What an incredible day in the water over our three snorkelling sessions!
In Session 1, the Vennies showed off their awesome duck-diving skills, getting up close with some friendly gropers. 💙🐟
In Session 2, the Scouts discovered huge schools of fish, more gropers, and even spotted a few graceful rays gliding along the sand. 🌟
And the highlight of Session 3 — a lucky group of Scouts came across a beautiful sea turtle cruising peacefully through the bay. 🐢✨
Such a magical day at Shelly Beach. Can’t wait for the next adventure! 🌊💙
