The enchanting world of Scout Guide came alive at the grand launch party of Volume 11, a celebration that left attendees mesmerized and eager to explore the pages of the latest edition. Hosted at the stunning RDV Vineyards, this event was nothing short of a “Surrealist Soiree”.

As a beacon of excellence, it brings together the finest establishments. Being featured in its pages is a prestigious honor for us!
RDV Vineyards provided the perfect backdrop for the evening, with its picturesque setting creating an otherworldly atmosphere. The theme of the night, a ‘Surrealist Soiree,’ invited guests to step into a dreamlike realm where reality and imagination intertwined seamlessly. As guests stepped into the venue, they were greeted by an unexpected but delightful presence – a great horned owl named ‘Mr. Hoo.’ This enchanting touch set the tone for an evening that promised to be unlike any other, a night where reality blended seamlessly with fantasy.
The event’s design was a masterpiece, effortlessly weaving elements of surrealism into every corner. From peculiar sculptures to floating centerpieces that defied gravity, the atmosphere resonated with creativity. Each detail was a nod to the extraordinary and the fantastical. As guests mingled, sipping on signature cocktails and enjoying delectable hors d’oeuvres, the event’s design became a visual feast. The theme masterfully executed, turned the venue into a canvas of surreal beauty. Whimsical centerpieces, ethereal lighting, and unexpected elements transported attendees into a world reminiscent of Salvador Dali’s paintings, where reality and dreams coexisted harmoniously.
In a true celebration of the theme, attendees embraced the opportunity to showcase their creativity through fashion. The dress code encouraged over-the-top outfits, and guests arrived in ensembles that could only be described as straight out of a dream. From surreal headpieces to fantastical gowns, the crowd added a layer of magic to the enchanting atmosphere. As the night progressed, live music filled the air. This soiree unfolded a seamless flow of surprises. Whether it was the captivating performances or the art installations, every element of the event contributed to the overall sense of wonder.
