Venturer Scouts
Lead your own adventure.
Self-directed program focused on personal growth, major expeditions, and vocational skills. For 15 to 18 year olds, the only limits are the ones they set themselves.
What to Expect
Adventurous Activities
Caving, flying, rock climbing, abseiling, and white-water kayaking.
Leadership & Management
Units are self-governing, giving you the freedom to choose your own activities.
Personal Growth
Push your limits and discover what you're truly capable of.
Vocational Skills
Gain certificates and skills that translate directly to your future career.
Look Wide, Reach High
Life as a Venturer Scout is about making your own challenges. Scaling a 30m rock-face or abseiling into caves may frighten most people, but Venturers face it head-on.
We fully support the Venturer section and transition our older Scouts into it, but we "home" our Venturer Scouts at other nearby groups to ensure they have access to a full unit experience.
If you're interested in joining Venturers, please get in touch with us via our contact form and we'll help you find the right group!
The Achievement Pathway
Follow the path up the mountain! The Achievement Pathway is your personal progression through the program towards the King's Scout Award.
