Scouts ACT Venturers – ACT

Venturer Scouts ACT’s Waterwatch team started up in December 2016, with Venturers (youth aged 14 to 18) from Southwell, Diamantina and Crowajingalong Scout groups banding together to undertake bimonthly water quality monitoring in remote areas of Namadgi National Park. This quickly evolved into an ACT wide activity for youth Scouting.  They soon added regular ecological surveying of aquatic life and riparian vegetation to their work and now contribute a full complement of catchment health data for the Upper Murrumbidgee Catchment Health Indicator Program (CHiP).
