The National Venture Scout Triathlon
The National Triathlon or Tri-Zone is a new event, that was run for the first time in September 2005. In this physical challenge teams of two people from a Venture Group complete a set course combining rafting, cycling and mountaineering. The 2005 event saw teams rafting on Lough Dan (former national campsite of Scouting Ireland S.A.I.), cycling through Wicklow and hiking to Larch Hill.

Famous quotes containing the words national, venture and/or scout:
“In really hard times the rules of the game are altered. The inchoate mass begins to stir. It becomes potent, and when it strikes,... it strikes with incredible emphasis. Those are the rare occasions when a national will emerges from the scattered, specialized, or indifferent blocs of voters who ordinarily elect the politicians. Those are for good or evil the great occasions in a nation’s history.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
“I should venture to assert that the most pervasive fallacy of philosophic thinking goes back to neglect of context.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
“Simone Clouseau: Jacques would make a wonderful father. He has many redeeming qualities, you know.

Sir Charles: You’re either married to a boy scout or a dachshund.”
—Blake Edwards (b. 1922)
