Program Essentials - Overview

The Program Essentials cover the core Scouting experience. A Venturer will complete the Program Essentials through attendance and active participation in the Venturer Scout program.

They are a Venturer's core experience in Scouting being: 

• Introduction to Scouting (if not completed in an earlier Section)
• Introduction to Section (completed at the start of each new Section during the transition phase)
• Milestones (Participating in, assisting with and leading activities based on the four Challenge Areas) 

The Program Essentials have been designed to be completed through attendance and active participation. They are the regular Scouting program, and should not be treated as stand-alone items.

Self-reflection is a key part of the Program Essentials as Venturers stop to think about how they have developed along the journey.
