Lone Scouts South Australia

What is a Lone Venturer?

Lone Venturers are young men and women aged 14-18 years old. Lone Venturers are guided by adults rather than being told what to do. Lone Venturers do all the same things as a ‘normal’ Venturer unit does excepted they do not meet every week. They are based throughout South Australia from Cummins to Meningie. They get the opportunity to decide what they want to do by holding unit management meeting. These meetings are organised, planned and run by the Venturers. Due to the distance, factors of all the Venturers the Internet and email are an important communication network.

The outdoors is an essential part of the Venturing programme. Weekend events, hikes, camping, rock climbing and abseiling are just a few activities available for Lones to do. Developing an active, healthy lifestyle is one of the goals of Lone Venturers. As well, Venturing helps teens learn new skills that can lead to a satisfying career.

The Lone Venturers motto is “Monthly Communication”.
