As a Venturer Scout you will work in Units with other Venturer Scouts and your Adult Leaders are always available to provide you with advice, encouragement, and support. As a Venturer Scout you are given the freedom to choose your own activities, depending on your interests, because we know that you are most motivated to achieve when you\u2019re passionate about what you do.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Venturer scouts Meetings<\/strong><br \/>\nVenturer Scout Units meet on a regular basis and Venturer Leaders are simply there to provide adult leadership and support; they act as your Scouting mentors. Unit progress is discussed at meetings, along with how each Unit is turning their goals of the Venturer Program into reality. Socialising is a must, and strong bonds are formed through teamwork and a common desire to ensure that everyone becomes the best person they can be.
