As well as having great fun, Venturers learn useful skills to take forward in life such as decision-making, leadership and the ability to form their own opinions, and defend them, on the big issues.
Our name refers to the skill of living close to nature, in the open air - we don't make a habit of hugging trees though occasionally we have been known to craft things out of wood and we do encourage all our members to come and camp with us. In our weekly groups we play games, sing, take part in drama, discussions, projects and crafts, and learn about local and global issues in a fun, entertaining way.
The Venturer Woodcraft group carry out similar kinds of activities as other Woodcraft groups - games, outdoor activities, hiking, swimming etc - the atmosphere is more progressive than other youth groups with some challenging debates between members.
£3 per session, £2 if a parent/carer becomes a Woodcraft member.
If you or a young person you know would like to attend, or if you have any questions, please contact Boffin: boffincousins@gmail.com / 07854 399160
