2026 Personal Development Courses
We’re building our schedule of Personal Development Courses for 2026. Two are confirmed and several more are in the planning stage, including a course tentatively located in Castlemaine which we expect will be accessible to our Loddon-Mallee and Northern Region Venturers.
Check the "Courses and Visits" page for all the courses both planned and scheduled.
Anything Goes
Kick off the Venturer year with Anything Goes!
Anything Goes is taking place from February 20-22 at Lardner Park, offering the opportunity to do heaps of fun activities such as tank adventures, hatchet throwing, splat ball, mountain biking and much more!
Visit the AG website for more details and check out our socials for more information on what's on offer!
Government House Presentation
Eligible recipients to attend this year's presentation are currently being contacted to ensure their details are current for the soon to be issued invites.
Please ask your Venturers if they have received a request to confirm their details and check that they have replied. The turnaround for invites and acceptances will be quick and the date for the presentation is Saturday February 28 at 9am.
VAM - Venturer Activity Meetup
Venturer Activity Meetups (VAMs) remain a significant component of the Venturer program. They provide an opportunity for fun activities done as a district or zone where larger group sizes can contribute to a more worthwhile event.
They also are a great way to extend your network of Venturers, which can be especially useful when planning your Adventurous Journey or looking for suitable attendees at your Personal Reflection to achieve your King's Scout Award.
It will be up to each District/Zone to decide how often to hold a VAM, but you should be aiming for at least one per term.

Venturer Activity Meetups – VAM!
Venturer Activity Meetups or VAM’s are replacing the more traditional District and Zone Venturer Councils to ensure we still regularly gather with other Venturers in our District or Zone to share ideas and have fun!
It’s up to each District and Zone to decide how often to hold a VAM, but you should be aiming for at least one per term. To help get you started we will be sharing ideas and information on our social media to help plan a great VAM. We want every District and Zone to plan an awesome VAM for Term 2 and send an invitation to the Victorian Venturer Council. We want to see the great ideas you all come up with!
The best VAM we see will win a prize from the Victorian Venturer Council! Free pizzas for your Term 3 VAM! So get in touch with the other Units in your District or Zone and start planning your Term 2 VAM now!

Hoadley Hide 2024: Anchors Away
We have some important news about Hoadley Hide! This year it will run on the middle weekend of the school holidays, April 4 - 7, at Blackwood Scout Camp, which means that the event isn't running over Easter.
We've made this decision as over the last few years, we have observed a growing number of Venturers and Rovers being unavailable over Easter for a variety of reasons, so we are trialling a new weekend to try and provide more opportunities for Venturers to learn new Bushwalking and Bushcraft skills.
We are also asking Rover Units to get on board and run a stunt for the Venturers. Each stunt encompasses components of the Outdoor Adventure Skills or other initiative challenges. Never run a stunt before? No problem – The Hoadley Hide Theme Team will help you put one together!
Stunt teams can be made up of members from multiple Units, so if needed you can join with other Rovers and make the ultimate combined stunt! Stunt teams are only required from Friday evening/Saturday morning until Sunday afternoon.
Registrations will be opening very soon, so keep up with all the latest news on the Hoadley Hide Facebook and Instagram pages!
