Escape 2009, the 14th Australian Venture is an International Scout Camp for 14 to 17 year old Venturers and will be held in Perth, Western Australia in January 2009.
The Australian Venture camp is held every 3 years and members from Bexleyheath District have attended previous Ventures in Victoria in 2000 and New South Wales in 2006.
For Escape we have 11 Scouts and Explorers (plus 5 leaders) from Bexleyheath flying out from the UK on Christmas Day, spending a week (including New Year’s Eve) in Sydney enjoying Home Hospitality from families connected to the Oatley Scout Group and then flying to Perth in time for the start of Escape.
Throughout 2008 they will be organising fundraising events to help pay for the trip, camps to get to all know one another and the other UK Contingent members from North Yorkshire.
