Q and A with Jenni Walden

With Jenni Walden, Scouts Victoria District Commissioner for the Casey District

What is something people don’t know about you? I have a lot of trouble sitting still!
How long were you were with the Cranbourne Scouts? As a parent, member of the committee and then group leader – seven years.
Did you still volunteer with scouts or other organisations? I am still in scouting, now District Commissioner for the Casey District
How is your training going in preparation for your trip to Everest base camp in March? Long and hard! Lots of walking around the streets all packed up with our hike boots on, plenty of PT sessions and a change in diet.
What is the most memorable moment in your life? So many to choose from! Hard to go past my kids and the memories we all get to make together.
What event, past, present or future, would you like to witness? World peace – doesn’t everyone?
What is your favourite television show? Not a lot of time to watch TV at the moment but I am a closet “Fresh Prince of Bel Air” fan.
What is your favourite book? Leadbelly – can’t believe it was all true!
What has been your most embarrassing moment? Walking out of the toilet at work with my skirt caught in my underwear.
What was your first or best concert? Best concert – and can’t believe I am admitting it – New Kids on the Block/Backstreet Boys.
