A chaotic bunch of young people who's mission is to learn new things, have a blast and eat some good food! To say the least it's always an exciting time with the Venturers!
Venturers take on a programme of achievement, leadership and fun where they get to carve their own path to success. Venturers is totally youth led and adult supported where the venturers get to choose what they do! From bike rides into town for Gelato, to games nights at the Hall, outings to popular activities in Christchurch and overnight activities!
Venturers enjoy a carefree program where what they put in is what they get out of it! Venturers also get the opportunity to go to more local, national and international events. From Venture, World Scout Jamboree, National Schools and Mudbash they get to experience it all!
Venturers also get the opportunity to take part in the Duke of Edinburgh Hillary Award programme where they can cross credit activities from their scouting award scheme towards this. This is an opportunity that not all youth can have access and support to and is a great opportunity for our youth to further develop their skills.
Venturers are encouraged to take part in a process called "Plan, Do, Review" which is a model originally lead by Scouts Australia that New Zealand has adopted into its programme. This allows the venturers to plan their term programme, action their term programme and then review the term programme so that the learnings may be reflected n the next term's programme. This allows venturers to develop skills to use in life as they will use this process all the time without even knowing it.
One of the coolest events offered to our venturer youth is Venture! Its like Jamboree but you choose what you do and its even more fun! Here's a video created from 2019 Venture!
Does this sound like sound like something your young person (aged 14 to 18 years) would be interested in? Check out the "Join Malvern" page to find out more information!
Venturers meet Tuesdays 7pm to 9pm.
