If you live in the Liphook area, and are between the ages of 15.5 and 21, (you can be male or female) then please email me at mpolley@argonet.co.uk if you feel you that you would like to join Thesiger Venture Scout Unit, I will then send you details of what is going on, how to join, where to meet etc.
The Venture Scouts are part of the Scouting movement. It is for young people (male or female) between the ages of 15 years and 6 months to the age of 21 years. Each group of Venture Scouts is called a Unit. This Unit, runs it's self. In the unit an elected Executive Committee deals with the money, running and organisation of the whole Unit.
The Venture Scouts have a wide and varied programme, from adventurous activities, such as, rock climbing, paragliding, canoeing, hill walking etc, to programme ideas that are designed to develop the Venture Scouts to know more about society and the way in which the whole world lives.
Venture Scouting and Scouting has been recognised all over the world to give young people the opportunity to learn and enjoy life to the full, and give them a chance to try new activities and ideas.
The Venture Scouts is a uniformed movement along with the rest of the Scouting association, but this is only worn for special occasions etc.
Thesiger Venture Scout unit, also known as RBS (hence the logo on the front page) meet once a week; on a Thursday from 8.00 - 10.00 pm. We also meet when we go on activities at other times or camps etc. Venture Scouting is meant to be fun, it is a way to relax and try new things, from a social event i.e. ten pin bowling to a hike in the Lake District. You do not have to turn up every week, you can turn up when ever you want, depending on how much time you have.
