Mass Blogging!
A lot has changed since my last post way back in March! Including me! After a trip back to Africa, I realised what a lots been going on while I was away. Since the marathon in March, most of the Unit members started gearing up for exams, but it doesn't mean that nothing else happened! On the 6th-8th March the group opened its doors to the public as part of the 100 year anniversary activities. The group displayed a range of blown up pictures from the logbooks, the logbooks themselves and several bits and bobs where placed around hq.

Later on in March the SVS ventured to 'Top of the World' in Gharghur for an abseiling session. For the less experienced, this was a great opportunity to get some hands on experience with rigging, equipment, bottom safety, and some even tried going inverted! Now for a change of scenery... In early April the SVS, along with the rest of the group, took to the streets of Sliema for the Duluri procession. While prayers echoed in the streets of Sliema, every venture and scout, undoubtedly had something lingering at the back of their mind...yes you guessed it! Ea
ster Camp! And who better to tell us all about the epic adventure than our very own Chriiiis...
"On the 6th April the SVS met up at Verdala Grounds, Buskett for what was definitely going to be an Easter Camp to remember. This year was a special one for the Unit, having 12 members present, much more than usual. Some of the highlights of camp were the perched tent (our pioneering project), a fenkata in a cave on Dingli Cliffs, *Battle of the Warlords, and some newly invented night games with a twist. More to follow soon..."

After that epic easter camp the SVS battoned down the hatches n got down n dirty with exams, ranging from 1st year 6th form to A-levels to 1st year University! At the peak of exams, the SVS took a short break from the books to show up in force for Annual Parade. And what a memorable one it was! With our 100 year anniversary in full swing, the group decided to make it known...in style! Most notably where the 2 ventures using powerisers, the track cart (Gladis) with a small banner being pulled along by scouts, and 2 cubs on their bicycles.

The SVS then met up again for a pre-summer BBQ at Cremona's house. Sadly this was to be the last activity for some of our venture scouts, namely Mallia Milanes, Ellul and a bonne voyage to our cheif of command Debono who will be returning back to us sometime at the end of summer.
That's all for now, soon I'll be updating you guys with some additions and changes in the Unit's high command and some pics from our clay pigeon shooting session that was held last Friday!(Yes we finally went clay pigeon shooting!! :E)
