Ash got the opportunity to go to Japan with scouts.  A small band of scouts and venturers from various groups around the east of Melbourne have headed off to Matsudo in Japan.  They’ll spend a couple of days with a host family before doing 5 days of Camporee, then a couple more days with their family before coming home. As well as representing Australian Scouts at a number of official functions connected with Matsudo’s sister city arrangement with City of Whitehorse, they’ll have some time for sightseeing and learning about the Japanese culture.

Ash was a bit nervous but very excited, here are some photo’s from the airport.
