Ventures are guided by a Venture Scout Leader who supports them in their personal development and reflections. By determining their own developmental needs and interest, this encourages Ventures to be self-motivating in leading themselves before others.
At this point in their journey, Venture Units are given more autonomy in their activities which helps to develop initiative and resourcefulness. The main activities they will partake in are defined along the four themes:
Camping, Outdoor Exploration, Knotting & Pioneering, Outdoor Cooking.
Youths who have joined scouting in 2025 will commence with the revised progress scheme.
Youths who have joined scouting in previous years (before 2025) can continue to pursue the previous progress scheme or the unit leader may choose to transition them to the revised progress scheme.
However, fulfilment of tier requirements should not have the combination of both schemes.
For example, a cub who has already achieved the Bronze Arrow in the old scheme may transition in entirety to the revised scheme for his/her Silver Arrow, but not part thereof.
