Bud 2011: Try Venturing Camp

Bud 2011 is a Try Venturing activity targeted at Scouts aged over 13 years to allow them the opportunity to meet Venturer Scouts from across the Region and to encourage Scouts to learn more about the activities on offer in the Venturer Scout section. Participation in this activity will contribute to requirements for the Try Venturing Badge.
