DescriptionPhoto album compiled by the 3rd Rose Bay Venturers of photographs from camps and outings between May 1976 and January 1977. The activities featured in the photographs include a hike to Mount Solitary in May 1976, a ‘Wheelathon’ in June 1976, a Group Picnic in February 1976, a Mascot Group Camp in July 1976 and Abseiling in January 1977. An article titled “Girls ‘Venture’ into Scouting” featured in the Jewish Times in March 1976 is attached in the photo album and discusses the 3rd Rose Bay Judean Venturers Scouts and Guides merger as being a first for troops in NSW. It also mentions the benefit this merger had for encouraging an increase in member numbers.
Before the Zionist youth groups and the rise of the Jewish day schools, the Judean Scouts and Girl Guides played an important role in connecting boys and girls from non-observant homes to Judaism. They could socialize, learn new skills and develop pride in their Jewish heritage. It also provided an opportunity to learn about Judaism, to celebrate the festivals and help prepare boys for their bar mitzvah. As part of the broader Australian Scouting movement, the Sydney Judean Scouts contributed to the development of the Australian community and culture of acceptance, tolerance and friendship and inclusivity for all. This in turn established a sense of Australian identity, which became apparent during the Second World War, when whole scout troops would enlist together.
Part of a large collection of memorabilia donated to the Sydney Jewish Museum by the 3rd Rose Bay Judean Scouts in 2008.
