Developing life skills to climb the mountain of their goals and reach their personal summit, Venturers aged 15-17 embark on greater expeditions and acquire real-world experiences that prepare them for future success.
Venturer Scouts is an opportunity for youth to explore their potential and ambition in an inclusive environment, forging friendships with others who share their passion to “Climb Higher”.
Opening the door to exciting, real-life, hands-on experiences and outdoor adventures, Venturer Scouts learn to nurture an active and healthy lifestyle.
Your personal journey as a Venturer Scout is all about setting challenges for yourself and meeting your goals using a Plan-Do-Review process. It is through these challenges that you make your way from Tree Line to Snow Line, eventually reaching the Summit. This journey is called your Solo Climb, and your progress will along the way be recognized with Personal Progression badges. You will progress at your own pace, and your fellow Venturer Scouts and Company Scouters will support you along the way.
In addition to the goals you set for yourself as part of your Venturer Scout Journey, you have the opportunity to pursue a variety of other awards, including the Queen’s Venturer Scout Award – the Top Section Award for the Venturer Scout Section. You can also progress in the Outdoor Adventure Skills (OAS), earn the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, and demonstrate your proficiency in a second language to achieve your Language Strip.
