In 2017, the new Venture Scout Progress Badge Scheme and new award system was implemented and several changes were made. The Venture Challenge Course was implemented as a replacement to the A.S.P.I.Re camp with similar requirements. The alternative to this is to complete the classic 21-day Challenge Course conducted by Outward Bound Singapore. The PSA project was renamed to the Venture Scout Service Project and moved 1 tier down. The PSA Review Committee was introduced, requiring the recommending Venture Scout Leader to appear before a review committee to discuss and support his/her recommendation. The PSA Nominee's Forum was introduced to replace the interview panel. This involves interaction of the PSA nominees with different representatives from the appropriate government institutions such as the Ministry of Education (Singapore), National Youth Council as well as the Scout Council and National Programme Council. Successful nominees would be recommended and, barring any exceptional cases, would be awarded the PSA in a similar ceremony.
