| Introduction | Hi, my name is Christopher Holcroft and I am a former Cub, Senior Scout Venturer), member of a Bush Fire Brigade, and the New South Wales emergency services. I am currently serving in the Army Reserve. I obtained my Queens Scout and Silver Duke of Edinburgh Awards like most other youth of my era - before computers were around to make life easier. My family taught me to love adventure, the outdoors and to enjoy the many friendships I made along the way. I have started writing a series of adventure novels so today's teenagers can enjoy the exploits of a group of Venturers as they journey through a number of exhilarating exploits. Join Scott Morrow as he learns a number of scouting skills which arm him to overcome tremendous odds. He has to overcome his fears and then learn to push himself harder than he ever thought. The result is a collection of boys own adventures that propel Scott onto the national stage as he develops from being a boy to a young man. |

Why did you write books for teenage boys? I believe today's boys need to know there is a world of adventure waiting for them outside the front doors of their home. Boys need to know they can be heroes if called on and it is important to try to do their best at all times.
