VENTURERS are the next age level up from Scouts.

We work towards gaining our Venturer Award & Duke of Edinburgh Awards...these should lead us to receiving the top scouting award - Queen's Scout Award.

Venturers need to complete activities in 3 major categories -

Service - this is service to the community; service to our group (you will see us helping out leaders at other sections); service to Scouting (helping out at Zone or National camps/activities)

Expedition - we will be planing, preparing & going on several different expeditions & activities. These may be include trips of 2-4 days duration consisting of rowing, biking, hiking or similar.

Skills - along the way we will be using our own personal strengths & skills as well as learning new skills. These may include sporting skills, crafts, life skills, driving license, & many many more!!
