Parents

Now that your child’s a Venturer, new opportunities and responsibilities will follow. Becoming a Venturer means that she or he can get more involved in national Woodcraft Folk, including events organised by Woodcraft’s main office and activities run by other Woodcraft Folk districts.

Your local Venturer group will hold a group night once a week, just like the Pioneer group. Venturers are encouraged and supported to organise their own activities and events, helping them gain new experiences and innovative ideas.

This leafl et was created by Venturers (and some PioneErs and DFs) f rom the TREE ComM unication s Woo Group.
