What is the Vic Gathering ?

The Vic Gathering is an event run specifically for Victorian Venturers. Guides are very welcome also to attend. The objective of the Gathering is to provide a fun weekend to help the Venturers, Guides, Rovers and Leaders unwind at the end of a busy year. Venturers also attend from other states of Australia. Venturers and Guides are aged between fourteen and eighteen years.

The Vic Gathering is run by the Yarra Valley Region Venturer Council, with support from the Leaders and Rovers. VG takes place on the first weekend of December each year.

VG is a standing camp with booking in commencing at 6.00 pm Friday and most activities getting under way by 9.30 pm. Venturers and Guides are generally required to be self sufficient for the weekend, however a canteen is provided for those who do not wish to prepare their own meals.

Normally we have approximately 800 to 1000 Venturers and Guides, plus a further 300 Rovers and Leaders on-site for the weekend.

The venue of the Gathering changes every two years so you will have to keep up to date with the Interchange magazine for venue details.

The activities, canteen and some displays will be operating around the clock starting from 9.30 pm on the Friday to 12.00 midday Sunday.

Final parade is on Sunday at 1.00 pm.

Some of the activities that will be on site include, abseiling, archery, 500 cards, frat tents, iron person event, jelly wrestling, screen printing, water activities, films/videos and many more.

This is a fantastic way to finish the year with a fun packed weekend of activities, socialising, and meeting new and old friends.
