This spring, the Venturer Company spent a great day spring skiing at Vorlage, where we snow-shoed off-trail to Pink Lake in Gatineau Park. We joined with the senior Scouts for an evening of mini-golf, and kept our rock-climbing skills current by visiting the climbing gym. A week after ice-out, we hit the Ottawa River for an evening of paddling. In mid-May, we got the bikes out and did a tour of several monument sites between Woodroffe and Downtown, with each person researching a particular monument and doing a little spiel about it as we reached that particular spot. In early June, we celebrated the end of our program year with our traditional all-section BBQ-in-the-park.
The highlight of our Scouting year came in mid-August, when we planned and executed a 4-day canoe trip through eastern Algonquin Park, together with the senior Scouts who were moving up to Venturers in September. We paddled between 27 and 30 km (depending on how straight a line your boat followed), and traipsed over 8 portages. We spent the better part of one day totally in the water - on the natural water slide, cliff jumping, and swimming at the base of High Falls. We explored some of the areas around our campsites, the old rail line and trestles which used to carry tourists and lumber through the park, the big Algonquin Radio Observatory dish at Lake Travers, and Ottawa lumber baron J.R. Booth's old fishing camp ruins. Along our travels, we found an amazing blueberry patch (fortunately before the bears did), sat and admired the view over Grand Lake and Carcajou Bay where Tom Thomson painted his famous Jack Pine painting, and finished off our trip with a hike on the spectacular Barron Canyon trail, at the top of the 100 metre cliffs overlooking canoes paddling the river below. As food was getting poor and in short supply by day four, we stopped for a celebration dinner in Cobden on our way home.
For the 2013-2014 program year, we have had a big increase in membership, thanks to the addition of 5 more youths who moved up from the Scout section, along with an additional advisor, bringing our group to 8 youth and 3 advisors.
