Venture Scouts (Scouting Ireland) - Rogha

Rogha

Rogha (the Irish word for choice) was the Venturer Programme of CSI. It was rewritten in 2003. Rogha is an individual award scheme for Venture Scouts made up of two challenges, Silver and Gold. Upon successful completion of the Silver challenge you will be awarded a Silver pin. A Gold pin is awarded for successful completion of the Gold challenge.

There are 5 categories (Physical, Mental, Cultural, Social and Spiritual) and around 50 modules. Each module is in one or more categories (i.e. Art is in Cultural, Social and Mental).

To complete the Silver Challenge participants must complete 1 module from each category. They must then complete the focus module with their scouter. Focus is an evaluation of what you have done, what you have learned etc. The gold challenge is similar. After completing the five modules, you need to complete focus as well as Horizons, an evaluation of your time in ventures and a look ahead at your future. Each challenge should take a year.

Although not as popular now, Rogha is still used by some groups.
