Welcome to Venturers


We know both you and your young teen will enjoy the benefits of Venturers at our Venturer Unit.
Please feel free to talk to us should you have any queries on issues not covered here.

Venturers is a programme of achievement and leadership.  Units offer learning programmes where young people are encouraged to explore leadership, responsibility, challenge, fun and adventure.

When you join Venturers  you'll  become a member of a unit with other teenagers who are Year 10 to Year 13 at school.
So, come and join Venturers and have lots of fun, explore new things, make new friends, experiment, accept responsibility, and lead an adventurous Venturer life.

Scouts make the following promise, it forms the basic guideline for everything that SCOUTS do:

The Scout Promise
On my honour, I promise to do my best,
To develop my spiritual beliefs,
To contribute to my community, country and world,
To help other people,
And to live by the Scout Law.

The Scout Law

Be prepared

What you can expect from Scouts

What Scouts expects of you
Safety
We appreciate it when you promptly collect your child.  Let your leader know if someone else will collect your child.
Absence
If your child is absent for ay reason please call us.
Behaviour
Good behaviour is the joint responsibility of the child, parent and leaders.  Everyone is expected to cooperate, follow instructions, and trust people and property with respect.  Leaders use positive reinforcement and a reward system to encourage appropriate behaviour.

Scout facts
The generic term for members of all the sections is “SCOUTS”. Not all of our volunteers wear the uniform.  Many of our volunteers help because they’re parents of a current member.  Many were not Scouts when they were younger but have learned new skills and made new friends through Scouts.  Many of our adult volunteers say they are more confident inn their everyday lives as a result of their involvement with Scouts.  All our leaders are covered by comprehensive insurance whilst taking part in Scouts.

The Biggest Myth
…..groups are closing down through lack of youth wanting to become members.
Nothing could be further from the truth.  SCOUTS is growing. Adult helpers and Leaders are currently our limiting factor.  We just don’t have enough leaders to run the exciting adventure programmes we want to, with all the youth who want to join SCOUTS!
