Venturing, originally part of the Exploring division, finally came into its own in 1998. It is now the fastest growing program of the BSA. Venturing offers young men and women, ages 14 through 20, a program specifically designed for their age group. Venturing is a natural outgrowth of the Boy Scout program. As Scouts grow older, they are better prepared to fully take over the planning and leadership functions of running a crew. They are also looking for new challenges away from the younger Scouts. Venturing is a chance to keep older Scouts active in the program by providing them with new opportunities while keeping them involved with a troop. Venturing provides positive experiences to help young people mature and to prepare them to become responsible and caring adults. Venturing provides the skills needed for young adults to make ethical choices, experience a fun program full of adventure and challenges, acquire leadership skills, and take advantage of opportunities to advance their skills and knowledge in the areas of high adventure, sports, arts, hobbies, religious life, and Sea Scouting. Venturing crews can specialize in a variety of avocation or hobby interests. Venturing is based on a unique and dynamic relationship between youth, adult leaders and community organizations. The result is a program of exciting and meaningful activities that helps youth pursue their special interests, grow, develop leadership skills and become good citizens. |
