Venturers – Adventure, Friendship & New Experiences!

What is Venturers?

Looking for adventure, new friendships and the chance to try something different?

Venturers is for young people aged 15 to 18 who want to challenge themselves, develop new skills, make lifelong friendships and have plenty of fun along the way!

At 10th Ivanhoe, Venturers is all about getting involved, exploring new opportunities and taking on exciting challenges. Whether you're interested in outdoor adventures, travelling, leadership, community activities or simply meeting new people, there's something for everyone.

One of the best things about Venturers is that you're in charge of your own adventures! Members work together to plan, organise and run their own activities, developing confidence, independence, leadership and teamwork skills along the way.

It's also a fantastic opportunity to gain valuable life experience. From problem-solving and communication to planning, budgeting and contributing to the community, Venturers helps you develop practical skills that can benefit you at school, in your first job and beyond. Your involvement in Scouting can also be a great addition to your résumé, demonstrating initiative, responsibility and a willingness to get involved.

Best of all, you'll be doing all this while making new friends, having fun and creating unforgettable experiences!

About Our Venturer Unit

The 10th Ivanhoe Venturer Unit is a friendly, close-knit group of around 12 young people who meet each Wednesday evening.

We enjoy a great mix of activities, both at our Scout Hall and out in the community. Some of our recent adventures include:

Rock climbing and ice skating
Scavenger hunts and team challenges
Cooking and baking competitions
Games nights and social activities
Outdoor adventures and hiking
State-wide Venturer camps and events

Our Venturer Unit is a place where everyone is welcome, friendships grow and young people are encouraged to try new things in a supportive environment.

Camps, Adventures & Events

One of the best parts of Venturers is the opportunity to get out and explore!

Throughout the year, our Unit takes part in a range of camps, outdoor adventures and state-wide activities, including:

Anything Goes – Lardner Park
ScoutHike – Tallarook State Forest
Winter Gathering – Eumeralla Scout Camp
Vic Gathering – Mafeking Rover Park

There are also opportunities to attend major national and international Scouting events, including World Scout Jamborees, national and international Ventures and adventures at the Kandersteg International Scout Centre (KISC) in Switzerland.

These experiences give Venturers the chance to travel, develop independence, challenge themselves and make friends from across Australia and around the world.

The King's Scout Award

Venturers can work towards achieving the King's Scout Award, the highest youth award in the Venturer Scout section.

This prestigious achievement recognises dedication, leadership, personal development and a willingness to challenge yourself.

Along the way, Venturers develop skills and experience through:

Outdoor Adventure Skills
Special Interest Areas
Milestone achievements
Leadership development
Adventurous journeys
Personal reflection and goal setting

Working towards the King's Scout Award is a rewarding experience that helps young people build confidence, resilience and valuable life skills.

A Valuable Achievement for Your Future

Achieving the King's Scout Award is something to be proud of and a great addition to your résumé. It demonstrates to potential employers, universities and other organisations that you've shown dedication, worked as part of a team, developed leadership skills and contributed to your community.

These are valuable qualities that can help you stand out when applying for your first job, further education or future career opportunities.
