Hey J1s! We are a JC CCA that is passionate about outdoors, exploration and cooking! Lovingly known as RV's outdoor cooking club, we aim to develop one's personal growth through the Scouting method of learning by doing. We teach skills which YOU can apply in the future such as first aid, camping and more!
As part of the West Area family, we are given the chance to visit and collaborate with Units from other schools during Area and National Events, such as campfire, games and Jamborees, allowing us to experience cultures from different troops :)
As part of the Venture Progress Scheme, Ventures will embark on a journey of self-development, service, leadership and adventure which you will proudly call your own! Join us for a fruitful, fun and delicious time here in the outdoor cooking club! aka Ventures!
The President Scouts Award
The President's Scout Award (PSA) is the highest award for Venture Scouts in Singapore. The PSA represents the pinnacle of achievement for Venture Scouts as well as heralds their readiness to further their commitment to serve God, Nation, and the Community.
The PSA consists of 3 major components throughout a Venture Scout’s journey: The SnF, VCC or 21 Day OBS and VSSP. Upon completion of the components, Venture Scouts are then invited to the Istana for an annual ceremony, where all President Scout Awardees are presented with the PSA by the President of Singapore.

The Venture Scout Service Project
The VSSP serves a dual role. It is a learning experience and also the culmination of your Venturing / Scouting life. The Project must be one that is meaningful and has benefits to the community at large. This will serve as the final major mile stone for Venture Scouts.
The VSSP is a 1-year long project: planning and execution. Venture Scouts will go through a robust and rigorous journey throughout the project, culminating in the President's Scout Award.
Venture Scouts who do not wish to pursue PSA can also take part in VSSP, as its importance is one that promotes communal service.
