Ventact is a crazy-fun activity weekend for Venture Scouts, Rangers, and Senior Branch. It’s held in Kilcully Campsite over a weekend where there are campfires, discos, random games and surprise activities around Cork City and County.
Ventact is unique as it is the only event of it’s type which is organised by a Joint Committee of Scouts and Guides and sees a gathering of 300-500 young people. The other special thing about Ventact and why it is a special event for Douglas & St Finbarres is that our own former Chairman Don Trotter was one of the founding members of the event.
Ventact South is a fun activity filled weekend. Activities on Friday night are based around Kilcully Scout Campsite. Normally there is a band or campfire on Friday night. On Saturday different activity centres are used. Some of the activities in the past that have been used are water skiing, horse riding, canoeing, rock climbing, zip lines, go carting, sailing. Saturday Evening involves fun games on the campsite followed by the Scout/Guides Own. This is a gathering to review the weekend and play a video to recall the weekends events. The Ventact Themed Disco normally begins around 21:00. Sundays Activities vary from year to year. From Bouncy Castles to Birds of Prey and everything in between.
