Venturer Scout Program Essentials
In Venturers, Program Essentials are completed through attendance and active participation in the Venturer Scout program. They are the core Scouting experience and include reflection on how each Venturer is developing.
Introduction to Scouting
Covers the essentials for members who are new to Scouting. The Unit can use the national video, a picture book for younger members, a short discussion, or interactive games.
Introduction to Section

Part of the regular program
Program Essentials are completed through attendance and active participation in the section program. The introductions welcome members into Scouting and their section, while Milestones recognise participation and age-appropriate leadership in the regular program.
