Venturer Scouts

At St Joseph's Scout Group, our Venturer Unit meets most Sunday night at 6:30, their meeting generally runs until 8pm as well as occasional weekends for major activities.

A Venturer takes part in a programme suitable for young people from age 14 to 18.

Venturers are responsible for their own programmes.

Ideally the programmes would include a range of adventurous, vocational, social and spiritual activities that extend the Venturers and develop their self confidence, leadership, team and life skills.

A progressive award scheme enables Venturer Scouts to extend their range of skills and earn certificates that lead towards achieving the Queens Scout Award and/or the Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award.

The Venturer section objectives are:

Participate in an adventurous training programme which will equip them for safe enjoyment
Build self esteem and confidence
Have fun and enjoyment
Develop leadership and inter-personal skills
Develop new interests and constructive leisure activities
Test their values and opinions
Make informed choices
Encourage voluntary participation and empowerment
Take responsibility for their own actions
Contribute to the local and national community
Acquire life skills and learn about current issues
Explore spiritual development
