Leadership in Venture Scouts

The Venture Scout Crew should decide its own programme and should run itself. The Venture Scouts should have full say in the running of the programme. The Scouters role is to support and encourage the Venture Scouts to implement the Youth Programme as designed; generally speaking they should only interfere with decision making when there is an issue concerning welfare, safety legality or Scouting principles. Venture Crews will form smaller groups to plan and complete specific activities. Venture Scouts should be Encouraged to take on more responsibility as they progress over time. Each Venture Scout should be given the opportunity to take on a leadership role on a regular basis.
