Venturing

For Venturing Leaders

Venturing

About

Venturing is for young adults ages 14 to 20 who, along with adult leaders, are registered with the Boy Scouts of America.  The program matches the interests of young adults with adult expertise and resources of the chartered organization and other adults in the community

Goals

Venturing has four specific goals for Venturers:

  1. To gain practical experience in a special interest, a skill, or leadership
  2. Engage in a program of activities centered on the following areas: social, leadership, fitness, service, outdoor, and citizenship
  3. To experience positive leadership from adults and youth and to have an opportunity to lead others
  4. To learn and grow in a caring environment

Membership

The program of every Venturing crew revolves around a special avocation or hobby interest. Only the imagination and involvement of the adult and youth leaders and members of the crew limit what a Venturing crew does.

A variety of awards are available to Venturers and adults, from achievement awards such as the Bronze, Gold, and Silver awards to recognitions including the Venturing Leadership Award.
