Leeds Venturers

Venturer groups are for young people aged from thirteen to fifteen. 

Venturers take more responsibility for shaping their own group activities, with support and advice from adult volunteers.

Woodcraft Folk is a movement for young people, open to everyone from birth to adult, offering a place where children will grow up in confidence, lern about the world and start to understand how to value our planet and each other.
