Venturer Scouts is for young people aged 14–17 years.
Venturer Scouts experience more independence and responsibility.

As a Venturer Scout, you’ll have the space to have fun learning and developing your own character at your own pace. 

Venturer Scouts can:

• Discover and explore independence

• Broaden their perspectives

• Secure their interests and priorities in life

• Learn to rely strongly on peer support

• Take on more responsibilities

• Seek purpose, challenge and risk

You don’t need to have any previous Scouting experience. We’ll help you catch up.

Venturer Scouts is a do-it-yourself mix of fun, adventure and personal challenge that brings together like-minded young people (male and female) aged 14 to 17 from all walks of life. When you’re dealing with your toughest years in school and making decisions about your future, Venturer Scouts offers vital breathing space. You can focus on friendship and personal growth, while picking up valuable life skills along the way.

As a Venturer Scout, you may find yourself exploring wilderness Australia, camping above the snowline or diving on coral reefs. You could be abseiling into a limestone cave or climbing a sheer rock face. Perhaps you’ll learn white water kayaking or ride your mountain bike on an expedition across real mountains.

Whatever your challenge, there will be trained and highly experienced adults to guide you through the experience, to teach you the necessary skills and safety techniques. Venturer Scouts get the opportunity to travel overseas and to organised activities, to live with a different community and to provide service to others.
