Venturers meet on Friday nights in the den at 7:30pm to 10:30pm.

As a Venturer Scout, you could find yourself camping above the snow line, exploring underwater reefs, riding the wind in a high-performance land yacht, earning your pilot's licence, investigating a career in astro-physics, editing your own film, making a sculpture or climbing a sheer rock face.
Venturer Scouts have the courage and confidence to say, try and do. You are given opportunities to experience the excitement of living and the training to develop into a capable, self-reliant individual.

Venture into Self Reliance!
The action and adventure a Venturer Scout experiences doesn't just develop your physical skills. It also prepares you to meet challenges, to deal with new situations, and to gain independence.

You work independently in Venturers. Sure, you do have a leader, but the only reason they need to be there is to make sure that you don’t blow the den up. You create the idea’s list, the term plan, the camps, the mess in the den, everything!

You belong to a group of young people your own age, about 15 of you in a Unit. You run your own affairs through a Unit Council. You speak out for your own viewpoint and share the decisions, help make the plans and follow them through.

Venture in New Friendships!
Meeting new people can make you wary, even a little intimidated at times, but at Venturer Scouts everyone is friendly and enthusiastic about welcoming a new Venturer.

There are dances, hikes, barbecues, service projects, movie nights and camps to give you a chance to get to know each other. You'll share the good times - and the tough times - and share the work, dedication and fun that it takes to be a Venturer Scout.

Venture at a Venture!

Venture is the BIGGEST major event in the Venturer Section. You get to the site, get to meet your unit, get to the pool party, get to bed, get to your expeditions, get to have a great time, get to sleep on the bus on the way back, get to rest up and wash up to start on activities, get to choose which onsite and offsite activities you do for five days, get to stay up late and party every night, get to make 999 friends and then get to say goodbye again with the party to end all parties.

In 2009, Venturers can go to WA on the 14th Australian Venture. Registration is now open, and four people are already going from Belair. See the site at escape2venture.com for more details!

Venture into Careers!
You may have already chosen a career path, but if not it can be very confusing deciding which path to follow.

When you’re a Venturer Scout you have the opportunity to complete nationally recognised qualifications that are recognised after you leave school at TAFE or other training institutions.

At Venturer Scouts, we open your eyes to possibilities you may not have thought of by introducing you not only to new skills but to professionals and tradesmen who can show and tell you first-hand what their jobs are like. Your program may include visits to factories, laboratories and other places where you can see the workforce in action and make up your own mind.

Venture into Creativity!
As well as the many outdoor activities offered to Venturer Scouts, there are many other ways of expressing yourself and developing your creativity.

You can learn the guitar, make a movie, paint and write, go to the theatre, learn how to zap other people, find a secret place in the central market, take and develop your own photographs and express your thoughts and feelings on all kinds of issues.

Venture into your Community!
A lot goes on in your community, a lot that many adults still have no awareness of.

Venturer Scouts informs you and shows you what you can do to make a positive contribution to the community you live in. Your program may include learning politics so you can use your vote (when you turn 18) effectively, or environmental issues that concern your future, and you'll work on community projects that care for the elderly or handicapped.

It's a satisfying feeling to know that you can be an intelligent and useful contributor and you can be proud of yourself for making the effort.

Venture in Awards!
Awards are not given simply as token gestures but are EARNED BY YOU for striving and making REAL ACHIEVEMENTS. There are two awards to aim for:

The Venturing Skills Award
This can be gained during your first 12 months as a Venturer Scout. This is your first award. You then take on activity areas to work toward your Queen's Scout Award.

There are four activity areas:

· Community Involvement

· Adventurous Activities

· Personal Growth

· Leadership Development

The Queen's Scout Award
This can be achieved before you turn 18 as a Venturer Scout and the special test is a weekend leadership course. Its the ultimate Scouting achievement for the Venturer Scout Section.

Start your adventure Now!
It doesn't matter if you've never been in Scouting or Guiding before - you can still enjoy the fun and adventure of Venturing. You will be amazed with what you can do!
