Join the Adventure
The Adventure Pioneers is an organization, that first started in 2017 when a group of friends who all had experience working with young people in Scouting, the Princes Trust, the Duke of Edenborough Award, and experience based learning, etc. got together and talked about starting a youth group and in 2018 The Adventure Pioneers a none profit organization became a realization.
July
We completed two days instructing over 160 young people from St Mary's Catholic Academy in an introduction to fire lighting and simple cooking on an open fire at Waddecar Scout camp site. Everyone had a great time and we received nothing but praise for what we had done.
the Adventure Pioneers did a number of workshops including improvised shelter building, whistle and spoon making, camp cooking, pioneering, making and setting camp fires, for the group Love Her Wild.
Love Her Wiled are a group of ladies who do a number of different outdoor things each year, We had a great time with them and everyone enjoyed the day despite the weather. Love Her Wild have also booked us for next year.
Unfortunately At the start of the COVID outbreak We had to cancel all our planed activities and put everything on hold but this gave us the opportunity to rectify some thing we did wrong when registering Adventure Pioneers with Company House. We are now registered with them as a a Community Interest Company or CIC.
Adventure Pioneers (Northwest) CIC
A community interest company (CIC) is a type of company introduced by the United Kingdom government in 2005 under the Companies (Audit, Investigations and Community Enterprise) Act 2004, designed for social enterprises that want to use their profits and assets for the public good. A community interest company is a business with primarily social objectives whose surpluses are principally reinvested for that purpose in the business or the community, rather than being driven by the need to maximize profit for shareholders and owners. CICs tackle a wide range of social and environmental issues and operate in all parts of the economy. By using business solutions to achieve public good, it is believed that CICs have a distinct and valuable role to play in helping create a strong, sustainable and socially inclusive economy.

Adventure Pioneers Northwest have recently considered adding archery to what we offer after Archery GB contacted Alan one of our founders asking would he like to renew his membership. Alan completed an Archery GB instructor’s course some time ago and was awarded what was then an instructor’s license card enabling him to instruct archery, having made a number of enquiries we can do archery under Alans instruction.
Having given this some thought we have decided it would be beneficial to a number of families and people who use our services and this would be a great opportunity to introduce archery to them on a purely introductory capacity, and perhaps if they found it interesting it would encourage them to take it up and join an archery club? We have already had a number of family’s showing an interest and we are awaiting to hear from an archery club who is considering donating some unwanted equipment to us, and we have also applied for a grant fingers crossed “you can live in hope.” In-between time if there is anyone out there who thinks they can help in any way then please contact us through our contact page or if you are interested in having a go at archery then do the same.
Adventure Pioneers end of year
Adventure Pioneers Northwest CIC have had another successful year promoting Bushcraft, pioneering, teambuilding, and just having fun playing out and helping others including youth organization's, individuals, families and others. As you may have heard in 2025, we are going to introduce archery into the list of things we can provide for everyone, but perhaps some of you know that Alan one of our instructor’s is an established whittler/carver and is known for his snake walking sticks, spoons, whistles, totem poles’ etc. and we are thinking of introducing carving walking sticks spoons etc. as an individual skill to anyone who is interested? If there is anyone who is interested in attending something like this then please get in touch with us, or if there is anything you think we could help you with on our contact page or pioneers@btinternet.com Happy new year 2025.
