FOUR Venturer Scouts did karate, built a snow igloo, and played jazz in a band, all as part of earning their Queen's Scout awards as members of 1st Caringbah Scouts.
Cameron Brown, 18, spent more than 1000 hours in achieving his karate black belt, took part in bush care projects and also helped people with disabilities to surf.
The only girl in the group, Jamie Kirk, 17, did a week's scuba dive course on the Great Barrier Reef, a five-day kayaking expedition in New Zealand, learned photography, and competed in snow-skiing to state level.
She became an assistant coach for the local disabled basketball association.
Hamish Moses, 18, has been a companion for those with disabilities and took them surfing, collected for the Red Shield Appeal, served Christmas dinner to the aged and taught Cubs and Scouts to abseil.
He took part in a two-day snowshoe expedition near Mt Kosciuszko and built an igloo.
Hamish jointly led a Stand Up Paddle Board expedition during three days in the Colo wilderness.
Hayden Ward, 17, competed in swimming up to state level and in AFL to regional level.
He has performed in a jazz band for three years and helped the Haemophilia Foundation fund-raising project.
