Completing your registration
You can then select what type of ticket you would like. For example, if you were purchasing two Venturer tickets, and one Venturer wanted to do the Initiative Activity components, the ticket selection would look like the picture below.
You then follow the process of filling out the application form, completing payment at the end of this step.
A completed Parent Advice Form (Y4) or Standard Application (A4) will also need to be filled out and emailed to easterventure@sa.scouts.com.au, as we still need a physical signature to indicate parental consent.
Eligibility
Ability: All Participants need to be competent in the Outdoor Skills required by the Venturing Skills Award or its equivalent.
Age limit: All youth members participating in EV must be 13.5 or above on Friday 19 April 2019 and under 18. 18-year old's still within the Venturer section may participate but must sleep in separate tents during the event.
