The Australian Venture is an event for Australian Venturer Scouts. It is their equivalent of a Jamboree, but for Venturers there is a lot more freedom and latitude in what they do. There is a number of on site activities and also an off site expedition, normally totaling about 12 days long. In 2021, Scouts Australia announced that Ventures would no longer be organised nationally. The last Australian Venturer Scout Event was at Lardner Park, Victoria, 2024. The theme for this Venture was "Go Places".[1] The event which spanned two weeks was run in January 2024 with over 1000 people from around Australia and New Zealand. The event included over 20 expeditions around Australia, Fiji and New Zealand, making it the largest Venturer Scout Event in over 20 years.[2]
