Hoadley Hide 1977

Edited by Scout Heritage Victoria from raw film material, ‘Hoadley Hide 1977’, was filmed by Jack Marshall and features scenes capturing the atmosphere and activities that made up the 1977 Hoadley Hide hiking competition. Hoadley Hide is a yearly competition for Venturer Scouts held since the 1952 in Victoria. Each year’s event has a theme, and the 1977 event was themed around the exploits of Arch Hoadley, a former Scouting Chief Commissioner after whom Hoadley Hide is named, and who had also been involved in education, Antarctic exploration, mining, and other such activities. These parts of his life formed the basis for initiative activities on which the Venturers were assessed, throughout the Easter weekend, with Venturers hiking between the activities. This film, sets you amongst the Venturers in 1977 and gives a good comparison to more recent similar events. The number and involvement of female Venturer Scouts is also notable, just a few years after female membership of this Section of the movement was introduced. After setting off from Caulfield Railway Station, we see a range of the activities being undertaken by the Venturers for their assessment, before the closing ceremony. Along the way, we see some of Victoria’s Scouting leadership testing activities (Neil Westaway, a future Chief Commissioner in Victoria, Australia and later Chairman of the World Organisation of the Scouting Movement is seen amongst others), and take a look behind the scenes at Headquarters where the movement of Venturers is tracked and scores complied. Professionally digitised from a Super 8mm film print donated to Scout Heritage Victoria. This is just a sample of the material which the volunteers at Scout Heritage Victoria are working to preserve for the Victorian community and especially the Scouts of the past, present and future.
