What is Venturers?
Bored? Feel like doing something with your life? Don’t know where to start? How about trying Venturers? Venturers is the next step up from Scouts, though you don't need any prior experience in Scouts to join!
You may find yourself exploring the great Aussie bush, camping above the snowline, diving on coral reefs or earning your pilot’s license.
As Venturers, you will govern your own, democratic Venturer Unit, where the adult Leaders provide advice and guidance instead of telling you what to do!
Information
The Venturer section is open to youths between the ages of 14 to 18.
The Venturer Unit currently meets on Mondays during school term times at the Beecroft/Cheltenham Scout Hall from 7:15pm until 9:00pm.
Sounds fun? Contact us by email or telephone and embark on a new adVenture.
