Venture Night 2008

This year's Venture Night was held at the Trader's Hotel from 6.45pm to 11.00pm, continuing the tradition of all previous Venture Nights, which pack Scouty fun, laughter, celebration, passion, loyalty and great food in one night. The gathering of old boys, affiliates and various members of the scouting community made the event special as always.

Deviating from usual Venture Nights, this year's one featured more prominently a theme of regeneration and progression. It uniquely and significantly marked the change in command of VSL Malcolm Tan to AVSL June Ren, with Malcolm stepping up to the Rover Crew to become the RSL and June Ren taking his place as VSL. In addition, Yen Chee and Boon Leong also stood down from their roles as AVSLs temporarily. With 'new' blood, Marcus Png, Eric Chua and Desmond Ying taking on the roles of AVSLs.

With the 'new' and capable leaders coming to the fore, the future of the Venture Unit is looking as bright as ever and the new Exco looks forward to working with the leaders in tandem to bring the unit to greater heights. Also, there was the stepping up of our beloved J2s to the Rover Crew. We wish them all the best in their A levels and we will see you guys soon (in Rovers).

We would like to thank our leaders Malcolm Tan, Yen Chee and Boon Leong for guiding us through the course of this year. Though we might not have got to know you guys well relative to the J2s, your legacy and the many contributions you all have made is noted and much appreciated. We shall continue to keep in touch with you guys and we wish you all the best in your future endeavours.

With much said about the events that occured yesterday night, credit must go to the effort put in by IC and Assistant IC Matthew Lim and Aaron Chan respectively, in organising and coordinating this event and the effort put in by the other J1s and leaders who pitched in to help or advise when needed. We thank the leaders, affiliates, old boys, guests and all who were present to make this year's Venture Night a success. Most of all we would like to thank God for the safe and successful running of this dinner which went on without a hitch.
