Afterafewdaysintheoffice,partofthePressTeamdecidedthatitwastimefor an adventure. The tours for youth around Victoria and the dragon boatshadyet tobeseenbyour two talentedphotographers,sothesetwoeventswereourgoals. Itwas aworkingadventure,but there was no reason we weren’tgoing to make the trip our own.Withour cameras in hand and our residentteammember acting as our tour guidewe were off. In typical news fashion,our first stop was the coffee shop forsomegloriouscoffee.Oncecaffeinatedweweretrulyoffonourroadtrip. Once into Victoria, we soondiscovered that we locals are almost

immunetotheeverydayhappeningsofVictoria. “Normal things” like doubledeckerbuses,horsedrawncarriages,andorange fire hydrants seemed innocentenoughtopassonthewaythroughthetour. Our Saskatchewan photographerontheotherhand,wasakidinacandystore.Hecouldn’ttakeenoughpictures.This made us realize that the normaleverydayworkingswetakeforgranted,areactuallyprettycool. Scouter Mark led the tour aroundVictoria, and we couldn’t have askedforabetterormoreinformedguide.HetookusaroundBeaconHillPark;oneofthemajorstopswastheoaktreeplantedbyBadenPowellhimselfin1935.AlloftheScoutscouldn’twaittotouchatreethatBadenPowelhimselfhadplanted.

Theyworkedtogethertoclimbthetreeandendeduptakingafungrouppicture.Someclimbedhigherthanothers,whileothersfeltbetterremainingontheearth.ThetourcontinuedtoMileZerooftheTransCanada Highway. Shortly afterthis, the tour was over for the youth,but not for the media team! Robin, amember of the media team, has livedinVictoriaforafewyearsandtookuson an extended tour. We went to theEmpress, found food trucks, up anddown the main strip of GovernmentStreet (the main tourist place) as wellasFanTanAlley,which isa tinyalleywhichwas dedicated to gamblingwaybackintheday. The final stop was the dragon boatactivity to take pictures of the Scouts.
