Why Venturers?


49C11

Our Venturer Scout Unit is called 49C11.  This unit formed some years ago - when a number of units across the Whitehorse Scout District -  that had very small numbers combined to create one STRONG unit.  They have their own Scarf (purple and black).  One tradition they have, is when they invest a new member (someone coming from scouts or new to the unit) it is done in a BIG way.  

  Sometimes while on a hike or abseiling at night. 


Note - 49C11 does sound a little different as a name right?  

Well the unit was named after our hall location in the old Melways street directory - Page 49 grid C  11

Achievement Pathways

Achievement Pathways fit within the one journey model of Scouting - a framework featuring a continuous series of personal achievements across the whole program, from the beginning of the Joey Scout Section through to the end of the Rover Scout Section. Providing Scouts the opportunity to determine their own Scouting journey for their own personal development.


Imagine the whole Achievement Pathways as a journey across a mountain range. Each Section of the program explores new and more challenging opportunities for achievement across the mountain range.


Your achievement really steps up in Venturer Scouts and can earn vocational qualifications, recognised across Australia or you can use your Scouting experiences towards your VCE.


The Queen's Scout Award, the peak award for Venturer Scouts, is so highly respected that several universities will recognise it for entry purposes.


All Sections are now actively engaged in 'Our Program' and moving to common Achievement Pathways One Program - One Journey.   You don’t need to have any previous Scouting experience. We’ll help you catch up.


Venturers can help you find your way in life!
