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 voting adults with adult expertise
and resources of the chartered organization and other adults in the community.
The program is carried out through a Venturing crew. Its purpose
is to provide experiences that will affect the positive development of youth at a critical
stage in their lives and to prepare them to become responsible and caring adults.
The crew is led by elected youth officers. Young adults join to
gain insight through fun-filled programs and hands-on activities provided by the chartered
organization, adult committee member volunteers, youth member parents, and other
consultants from the community.
Program Goals
Venturing has four specific
goals for Venturers:
- To gain practical experience in a special interest, a skill, or
leadership
- Engage in a program of activities centered on Venturing's six
experience areas: social, leadership, fitness, service, outdoor, and citizenship
- To experience positive leadership from adults and youth and to
have an opportunity to lead others
- To learn and grow in a caring environment
