AV2018 is being held in Petrie, Queensland (just 30 minutes north of Brisbane) and the expeditions will be held throughout South East Queensland. Expeditions will range from hiking to relaxing and range in prices to appeal to and accommodate all participants. All members of Queensland Branch need to register as part of the Queensland Contingent, which means that in addition to the Venture Fee and Expedition Fee you will be required to pay the Contingent Fee.
Queensland Contingent is also offering participants the opportunity to partake in a Pre-Venture Tour which commences on 29 December 2017. The Pre-Venture Tour will be based on the Tweed River and will take in the sights of northern New South Wales. Some amazing activities have been planned for the Pre-Venture tour including a New Year’s Eve Party. The Pre-Venture tour is being limited to 100 Venturer Scouts so make sure you indicate your intention to attend the Pre-Venture Tour when you complete your application form.
