Venturers & Rovers

Challenge of a Lifetime


The Venturer program emphasizes having fun while encouraging teens to feel good about themselves, their friends and family and the environment. Venturers' leadership skills are put to the test while gaining self confidence.

The Venturer program is all about challenge. From start to finish, the program is run almost entirely by the youth members. Youth will have the opportunity to plan and execute activities which reflect their own personal and group interests. In Venturers, the sky is the limit! Plus, Venturers get the opportunity to "try on" different exciting career options through their activities.

Each company has an executive consisting of at least a chair, a vice-chair, a secretary and a treasurer. The executive is responsible for the majority of the planning. Each company has an advisor (sort of like a leader), who makes sure that your event will run smoothly by offering advice and suggestions.

Venturers meet in a group called a Company. Each Venturer learns a promise and motto to help guide their personal development.





Venturer Promise:
On my honour
I promise that I will do my best
To do my duty to God
and the Queen,
To help other people at all times,
And to carry out
the spirit of the Scout Law.

Venturer Motto:

Bring on the Adventure

The outdoors is an essential part of the Rover program. Rovers often participate in adventurous activities like mountain climbing, white water rafting or para-sailing.

Rovers meet in a group called a Crew. Just like Venturers, they manage their own program from start to finish. Since most Rover Crews are small, Roveres form close bonds with other people who share similar interests.

While there's even more opportunity for outdoor adventure, Rovers still are quite active in their community, often organizing events for younger sections.
