Personal Achievement
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 Solo Climb, 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, explore your faith and achieve the Religion in Life award, earn the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, and demonstrate your proficiency in a second language to achieve your Language Strip. Check out the Canadian Path Venturer Scout and Canadian Path Venturer Company handbooks.

Scout Coffee Fundraising
Our year-round campaign has reloaded!
What if by buying coffee, you could support your nephew, niece or neighbor? What if that next bag of coffee could support Scouts in learning new skills, making new friends, andbecoming better leaders?
For all you coffee aficionados out there (or javaphiles, as some are called), our coffee masters have returned from the finest terroirs in the world to bring you our amazing blends...:)
For every bag of coffee purchased, over 40% of your money is returned to Scouting. During checkout, you can choose to have this money go towards supporting your local Scouting group and the No One Left Behind campaign OR you can choose to support the No One Left Behind campaign only. The No One Left Behind (NOLB) campaign provides children and youth from low-income families with the opportunity to participate in Scouting.
We thank you for your unwavering support or our program!
