Weekend Programme

Ventact South is an activity weekend. Activities on Friday night are based around Kilcully Scout Campsite. Normally there is a band or campfire on Friday night. On Saturday different activity centres are used. Some of the activities in the past that have been used are water skiing, horse riding, canoeing, rock climbing, zip lines, go carting, sailing. Saturday Evening involves fun games on the campsite followed by the Scout/Guides Own. This is a gathering to review the weekend and play video to recall the weekends events. The Ventact Themed Disco normally begins around 21:00. Sundays Activities vary from year to year. From Bouncy Castles to Birds of Prey and everything in between.
