Gilwell Training
The Rover Basic Training Course I attended was held in October 2016 at the Lones Hut, Woodhouse Activity Centre with 10 Rovers on the course. This was my first step into the world of Adult Leader training, with a Rover twist of all the participants being just Rovers....
Bogong Rover Chalet 2017
My Bogong Rover Chalet adventure!
With a bit of encouragement from friends, I decided to submit a late application for the Week 2 Party of the Bogong Rover Chalet winter season in 2017.
I’d never been skiing, or anywhere near snow before, so the thought alone of 11km of trails, just to get to the Bogong Rover Chalet, was a little overwhelming.
Fortunately, with a lot of support from friends to prepare for this adventure, we were ready to hit the snowy trails of the Bogong High Plains, in Victoria. With a number of practise hikes around Mt Lofty, led by John, we were hopefully fit and healthy enough to ski into the chalet.
