Leadership Through Adventure Fund
Over 100 youth members from Queensland have been appointed recently, as Ambassadors of the Dick and Pip Smith Leadership Through Adventure Fund (LTAF).
All have been recipients of the LTAF and have received financial support to make their adventurous journeys even more adventurous.
Thirteen patrols from across Queensland have received funds to support training and adventurous activities.
Indooroopilly Rover Scouts Road Trip
12 brave Indooroopilly Rover Scouts (and one extra brave Bus Driver/Guide Extraordinaire) road-tripped their way down south. On their trip they spent 4 days shredding it in the snow at Thredbo, where countless hot chocolates were consumed. For many Rover Scouts it was their first time skiing or snowboarding (but not their last).
Their second stop was at the Blue Mountains, where weather tried (and failed) to ruin their amazing abseiling plans.
And last (but certainly not least), the Rover Scouts camped, hiked and star gazed in Warrumbungle National Park.
An awesome time was had by all and Indooroopilly Rovers would like to thank the Dick and Pip Smith Leadership through Adventure Fund for allowing us to undertake this awesome trip!
