Life as a Venturer Scout

Venturer Scouts never turn down a challenge, in fact, they make their own! Scaling a 30m rock-face or abseiling into  caves may frighten most people but Venturer Scouts face the challenge head on and then go white water kayaking! As a  Venturer Scout you’ll work in Units with other Venturer Scouts and your Adult Leaders are always available to provide  you with advice, encouragement, and support. As a Venturer Scout you’re given the freedom to choose your own  activities, depending on your interests, because we know that you’re most motivated to achieve when you’re passionate about what you do.

Venturer Scouts Meetings

Venturer Scout Units meet on a regular basis and Venturer Leaders are simply there to provide adult leadership and support; they act  as your Scouting  mentors. Unit progress is discussed at meetings, along with how each Unit is turning their goals of the Venturer Program into reality. Socialising is a must and  strong bonds are formed through teamwork and a common desire to ensure that everyone becomes the best person they can be. If you’re a Venturer Scout  your only limits are the ones that you set for yourself.
