1st Figtree Rovers

Figtree Rovers abroad!
Earlier this month two Figtree Rovers hiked 70km over 4 days across the Causeway Coastal Route of Northen Ireland for a Newcastle Rover's BPSA Hike.

Our attempt at an astronomy night 🌟⭐️💫🌠✨️🔭🌌

Tonight we said goodbye to our beloved Aidan as he ages out and begins his next journey in Scouting

Figtree Rovers alongside the rest of SC&T at the Wollongong ANZAC Day March and Dawn Service.
Lest We Forget.

Tonight we were taken on a wild Paper Chase all around the Gong, and luckily only 2 of our teams got lost.

On the way home from Bathurst we stopped by Mitchell Ridge to go abseiling with our friends from TGW!

Crew Holiday to Bathurst!
We went away for the weekend to see the Royal Bathurst Show and had a great time together, and stopped at the Mount Panorama Motor Racing Circuit along the way.

Dragonskin 2024 - 'A Day Out'!!
This year we ran base 301 - Lost Languages. We had an amazing (and very tiring) weekend at Belangelo State Forest and had over 100 teams visit our base.
A massive thankyou to all the Rovers and Leaders who helped run the event, and to all the Vennies who participated.
We can't wait for next year!

Another successful Pigskin!
