What is Venturing?
It's hard to explain what Venturing is all about! This is because as a Venture Scout you could end up doing almost anything- Imagination is your only limit! You can challenge yourself, try new things, acheive your goals and most importantly have a laugh with a group of like mindedpeople... As a Venture Scout you could find yourself trekking with a friend across some far off country on the Explorer Belt, or exploring the lesser known parts of Ireland on Challenge. You might decide to go along to the Venture Scout Moot and meet with Ventures from around the country, then again you might hit the Galtees for a weekend of adventurous hill-walking! In a fit of madness you might decide to try it all and really explorer what Venture Scouting has to offer you, but with all that's possible it might take you awhile to get around to everything!
Roscrea has a proud tradition of Ventures. Today there is 14 Ventures in the Group aged between 15 ½ and 18 years of age.
The Ventures meet most Friday nights from 9.30pm to 10.30pm. Ventures have regular day activities and overnight trips. The highlight of the Venture Year is the Venture Annual Camp, which is normally held jointly with the Scouts.
