VENTURE
2021
What is OZ Venture?
Previously known as the Australian Venture or ‘AV’, Oz Venture is the premiere event for Australian
Venturer Scouts!
Oz Venture provides an opportunity for all Venturer Scouts (Aged 14 - 18) to come together for an
unforgettable, one in a lifetime experience. An event crafted for Venturer Scouts, Rover Scouts and
Leaders, a Venture provides the unique opportunity to seek out new challenges, discover and develop
new skills, while having adventures with Youth Members from all around the world.
With expeditions all around the Pacific region, a Core Camp built on challenge by choice and exciting,
International entertainment acts, Oz Venture is not to be missed. A Venture occurs only once every
three years, rotating between Scouts Australia’s Branches. This allows Ventures to be events that are
constantly changing and evolving, no two Ventures are ever the same!
Major Events are full of unique experiences for both our Youth and Leaders, made possible only by the
spontanious, energetic environment of our camps and their activities. A Venture is a little bit different
to a Jamboree, as the event consists of two major components:
1. The Expedition Phase – Offering various experiences away from the Venture site
2. The Core Camp – Offering on-site and local activities
what's new?
OZ Venture 2021 is the 1st Australian Venture to:
• Offer expeditions of varying durations
• Offer expeditions outside Australia
• Not have a central starting location
OUR FOCUS!
• Ensure clear educational outcomes
• For our activity range to suit all budgets
• Exciting activities for all our members
• Accessible to everyone
What Is Oz Venture 2021? - OZV2021 3
THE YOUTH PROGRAM Program Essentials The OZ Venture Expedition Team has been working hard to ensure that our Expeditions on offer are not only attractive, affordable & accessible but in line with the educational purpose of Scouting. Each Expedition Spread will include suggestions on how the experience can be applied to the Youth Program. It is important to understand that Venturer Scouts will still need to set goals and outcomes with their home Units before attending the Venture. Venturer Scouts will be able to achieve badgework in several key areas. Venturer Scouts will need to have clear goals and demonstrate how they have participated, assisted or lead an activity within the expedition, for the experience to contribute towards their Program Milestones. We’ve incorporation the Program Milestones to encourage Venturer Scouts' active engagement in all aspects of the Expedition Program. We believe it’s important for Venturer Scouts to be recognised for their learning and personal development throughout the event. There are two key elements to each Milestone in the Program Essentials: 1. Participating, assisting and leading in the four Challenge Areas 2. Personal reflection at the completion of each Milestone 4 OZV2021 - The Youth Program
Challenge areas
Challenge Areas are the four broad activity areas that are used to support programming and ensure
a balanced Expedition Program. Each expedition will have an opportunity for Venturer Scouts to
participate in activities aligned to the Challenge Areas.
For Venturer Scouts to use the Challenge Areas towards their personal progression, they will need to
obtain details regarding the itinerary or activity list from the Expedition Leaders, prior to the event.
Allowing Venturer Scouts to set personal goals and discuss them for approval with the Unit Council.
These personal goals will outline how the Venturer Scout assists and leads throughout the expedition.
outdoor adventure skills
The Outdoor Adventure Skills enable Venturer Scouts to learn and develop their skills in the
Outdoors, across the Core and Specialist Skill Areas. Selected expeditions offered by OZ
Venture will give Venturer Scouts the opportunity to work on the Outdoor Adventure Skills
Stages for the skill area (or areas) on offer. Venturer Scouts intending on using the activities
offered by expeditions to progress through an area of the Outdoor Adventure Skills, will
first need to reach out to the expedition leader to understand the level of activities being
offered.
After confidently demonstrating their new abilities, Venturer Scouts may be signed off against
“I-statements” within stages of the respective Outdoor Adventure Skill. They are not needed to
explicitly show those skills again, although they are likely to need to practice them in order to learn
the next Stages’ skills.
Challenge Areas and OAS - OZV2021 5
THE
CORE
CAMP
what is the Core Camp?
The Core Camp runs from the 5th - 10th of January,
where everyone heads back to the main site. A bit
like a Jamboree, the Core Camp is where Venturer
Scouts will be able to enjoy on-site & off-site activities,
entertainment & chill-out areas.
Oz Venture 2021’s Core Camp site will be held in
Sydney, NSW, Australia with activities in and around
the metropolitan and greater Sydney areas.
The core camp will cost $889 for Youth Members and
$595 for Adults.
how do credits work?
As part of your Core Camp fees, Venturer Scouts have the freedom to choose activities from each
category by using their assigned credits issued within the event management system.
Each Venturer Scout is issued with eight (8) credits* and can use them towards activities. Activities
offered at the Core Camp are grouped into four different categories each worth a different amount
of credits.
*Additional credits may be purchased however this is not required for an awesome experience!

THE
EXPEDITIONS
What are they?
Expeditions are the first phase of Oz Venture.
Varying in length, locations, activities and cost,
an expedition is your chance to truly shape your
experience.
For the first time, we are running expeditions of
variable lengths, in and out of NSW. Our teams have
been working hard to prepare a range of international
and domestic expeditions for your choosing.
Whether it’s travelling on an international adventure,
seeing the iconic red dust of the Northern Territory,
learning to fly a plane, or staying on Cockatoo Island,
we have an expedition for everyone!
WHAT'S DIFFERENT?
1. Flexible start dates –
We understand that some people may find it
challenging to find time off at this time of year,
that’s why expeditions vary from 3 – 10 days in
length.
2. International options –
With roughly 25% of Venturer Scouts having
attended a Scouting event overseas, we wanted
to give you the opportunity to return to some
of our favourite locations or visit somewhere
completely new.
3. Expeditions outside the host branch –
OZ Venture is a National Event, so we wanted
to give you as much opportunity to experience
Australia as possible.
