Venture Scouts – Together further

Venture Scouts are between 14 and 17 years old. They form teams of about 5 to 10 Venture Scouts and organize their activities (called «enterprises») on their own under the supervision of experienced leaders. At the end of their time as Venture Scouts they might start gaining their first experiences as Leaders in other sections.

Types of activities

Since Venture Scouts plan their activities by themselves, there is no typical Venture Scout activity. Some teams organize very «Scout-like» activities, like snowshoe trekking with a night in an igloo, go skiing together, build a raft or run a crazy challenge (a sort of challenge where teams have to solve unusual tasks). Some also carry out more «social» projects, such as helping to build a school in a developing country. Since the participants organize everything by themselves, they also sometimes do some unusual things, like offering coffee and croissants in a tram in the morning. The leaders are also part of the team but mainly offer support and help coordinate instead of leading the activities. Such self-organized activities do not always run perfectly, but the participants have the opportunity to learn from their experiences and improve! The motto of the Venture Scout section is «Together further», symbolizing the importance of the team for the Venture Scouts.

Meetings and camps

As Venture Scouts plan and organize everything by themselves, they can schedule their meetings and events as it fits for them, be it once a month on a Saturday afternoon at one team member’s home or on an evening during the week. They can plan weekends, camps and special events depending on the activities they want to achieve.
