    Ratskin is an scouting activity for Venturers and adults where the Venturers put on the activities for the Adults.

    The Adults can include Leaders, Rovers, Parents, Innocent by-standers (only kidding)

    The adults walk around all day (only day packs) doing activities and meeting the Venturers that put on the activities

    At night all have a get together and a fire and swap stories A great weekend bush walking and getting out there
