The 1st Berowra Venturers have attended Dragon Skin competitions since 1984. These are competitions between many of the NSW Branch's Venturer Units held over the Easter weekend. In the 1987 a team comprising Duncan Armour, Robert Bray, Phillip Harrison, Andrew Knight and Andrew Smith came 8th out of approximately 140 teams - not a bad effort! They excelled themselves in 1988 when the B Pennant Team of Duncan Armour, Robert Bray, Phillip Harrison, Andrew Knight and Andrew Smith came 3rd and appeared on the official Dragon Skin video. The Venturers also won the Hornsby District Annual Windsor to Hornsby Marathon trophy in 1985 and 1987.

In 1992 the Dragon Skin was held at Conjola State Forest. The Berowra "Clan of the Cave Bear" team won 4th place in the B Pennant section. The team consisted of Stephen Brown, Andrew Forsyth, Christopher Holland and Scott Palmer.
