Venturer Scouts is for young people aged 14–17 years. Venturer Scouts experience more independence and responsibility.
As a Venturer Scout, you’ll have the space to have fun learning and developing your own character at your own pace.

1st Frenchs Forest Venturer Unit reformed in 2025 after a number of years. When of their first projects was building themselves a new Den.

Venturer Scouts can:

Discover and explore independence
Broaden their perspectives
Secure their interests and priorities in life
Learn to rely strongly on peer support
Take on more responsibilities
Seek purpose, challenge and risk

The Unit’s activities are planned and run by the Venturer Scouts themselves – which means they are tailored to the requirements and interests of members.

As a Venturer Scout, you may find yourself exploring wilderness across Australia, camping above the snowline or diving on coral reefs. You could be abseiling into a limestone cave or climbing a sheer rock face. Perhaps you’ll learn white water kayaking or ride your mountain bike on an expedition across real mountains.

Venturer Scouts progress to the Rover Scout Section after turning 18 however, Venturer Scouts who turn 18 during Year 12 can wait to progress until they have completed Year 12 as long as they have a verified Working With Children Check and National Police clearance.
