On April 11 2008 Alex Slade and Stepanie Zilles advanced from Scouts into Venturers. Ally and Steph are teh frst Venturers at 5th City of Brunswick in many years and ther advancement marks a significant milestone for the development of the Group.

The girls have chosen to join the Monash Venturer Unit based at the 17th Essendon Scout Hall in Aberfeldie.

Young people in Venturer Scouts develop their sense of maturity and responsibility through the chance to be self-governing and to choose their own activities.  Venturer Scouts expand on their Scouting knowledge, learning more about leadership, initiative and personal skills.

We do not currently have a Venturer Unit at 5th Brunswick. However Scouts participating in Venturers at another Unit can choose to remain part of 5th Brunswick Group and participate in Group functions from time to time.

We currently have three Venturers invested. All are Venturing with Monash Venturer Unit in Essendon.

When numbers permit and leaders are available we may be able to form our own Venturer Unit in the future.
