Venturers At Border Relay For Life

1^st Wodonga Venturers organised for a team from 1^st Wodonga Scouting Group to participate in the Border Relay for Life. 

We all went out to where the event was to be held over the weekend on Friday 25^th Oct, to help set up our site with tents and shelters. 

On Saturday 26^th Oct, We arrived at 9am, and took part in the opening ceremony and then started to complete our laps. During the day lots of activities were held some commemorative and some just for the fun of it. We dressed up in silly costumes and showed that scouts take part in a different variety of things in the community. 

We raised $753- for the cancer council to do more research & maybe find a cure.
