Age group 14.5-18 years
We meet during term time on Mondays from 6.30pm-8.30pm.
Venturers create and run their own programmes and use their experiences to push boundaries and become leaders in their communities…
As a Venturer you will:
- Create lasting friendships and connect with others across the country.
- Plan and lead your own adventurous experiences.
- Learn important skills for life and tackle the big issues facing the young people of today.
- Create a positive impact in your communities.
- Participate in National and International Events, like Venture, Regional Camps, National Schools, and World Jamboree.
- Have tons of fun!
The Venturer programme offers exciting, fun, real-life, hands-on experiences for youth. By taking a step up in leading and running their own activities, Venturers learn to nurture an active, healthy lifestyle; acquire the knowledge and skills for life and career development; and participate in thrilling outdoor adventures. Weekend events, extended hikes, camping, space for reflection, community service and more, round out the Venturer experience
You will also work towards your King’s Scout Award. Becoming a King’s Scout gives you the skills and confidence to achieve all of your goals in life. Because King’s Scouts are exceptional young people, this award can be very useful when looking to attend sponsored courses (eg Outward Bound) and in finding work.
The group is part of Scouting Northland Zone. Read here about the different age groups: Keas, Cubs, Scouts, Venturers, Rovers, and the Leadership Programmes and Schemes. https://scouts.nz/
